Very nice spot and out of the hustle of the old city. Walking was fine if you are in shape. It was a good workout. Very kind staff. Room was nice with a lovely view. Hot water in the bath was a little tricky. Beds were on the hard side if that is what you want.

We had 2 nights at the property recently and loved our stay. I need a quiet sleep and Voco Royal Terrace delivered. While only an easy 15 minute walk from most of the sights, it’s completely outside of the hustle and bustle, on a quiet street. We also thought the room was brilliant with high ceilings and plenty of space. We look forward to staying here again!
