Terrace Hotel guests often appreciate its convenient location near Calton Hill and within walking distance of main attractions; plus, bus stops nearby make getting around easy. Many find the rooms spacious, and some even overlook a garden, enjoying features such as comfortable king-sized beds. Breakfast is delivered to the rooms, which guests tend to find relaxing, though some have described it as pre-packaged.

impersonal breakfastuncomfortable bed
the breakfast felt quite impersonal. ordering from a sheet and having it left outside the door lacked a certain warmth. the bed really wasn't comfortable , i might as well have been sleeping on the sidewalk. it was quite disappointing overall to not have better amenities.

staff explanationsecurity measurecomputer availabilitypaper bagwarm milkthin wall
the staff explained everything very well. i found the security measures reassuring. it was like a priority here. the hotel's location was good, and i appreciated the sitting room. a computer and printer were available to use.
the breakfast was delivered in a paper bag. i found the milk and yogurt in the bag were warm. i was unable to consume the cereal in the morning. the thin walls were a problem. i could hear snoring from neighboring rooms all night.

okay stay, some minor issues

good locationspacious roomcomfortable bedpre-packed breakfastdated decor
The location was good for what i needed. Not too far from the places i visited. the room was spacious enough, i could move around easily. the bed was quite comfortable and i slept well each night.
The breakfast was a pre-packed bag left outside the door. Not very appealing to me. the room decor seemed a bit dated. It could use some updating.
