Terrace Hotel - A family-run Georgian guest house in Edinburgh's New Town with free WiFi and city views
Terrace Hotel, a 2-star guesthouse in a mid-terrace Georgian 'A' listed building designed by William Playfair circa 1820, offers 14 en-suite rooms with central heating, individually controlled heaters, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities. Some rooms feature gardens and park views, while upper floors overlook the River Forth and Fife. The hotel is set on Royal Terrace, forming Edinburgh's longest continuous Georgian architecture stretch, and is 1 km from Edinburgh Waverley Station. Nearby attractions include Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, and the National Museum of Scotland, all within walking distance. Guests can use the piano or computer in the lounge, and breakfast is served each morning at Terrace Hotel. The Playhouse Theatre and St James Centre with John Lewis are a short walk away.
Pros
Occupies a historic Georgian building designed by architect William Playfair, featuring original period details.
Located in a quiet area yet within walking distance of major attractions like Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.
Offers free WiFi throughout and a guest lounge with a piano.
Some rooms provide views of gardens, parks, or the River Forth.
Cons
No lift access, requiring stair use for upper-floor rooms.
Limited parking availability on London Road at £5 per day.
“For travelers watching their budget, this address balances price and prime location, a short walk from the city center and Calton Hill. I found the rooms surprisingly large, some with soaring ceilings and views, and the building itself possesses a classic charm, especially the lobby. A solid pick where value doesn't mean sacrificing comfort or convenience.”
