December 2024We went to the Glasshouse for afternoon tea to celebrate a colleagues birthday. It was incredible value for money in a fantastic setting with staff that looked after everything we needed. The staff couldn’t have been any nicer and more helpful, catering to all dietary requirements and ensuring we had a great time. We were treated to a complimentary glass of Prosecco each which was such a nice touch to the afternoon. The setting is great, such a calm and secluded space right in the heart of Edinburgh.

October 2024You can tell this hotel has a few years on it but they went out of their way to also make it feel like luxury. I scored gorgeous upgrades for myself and my mother, which was much appreciated. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. My biggest frustration was parking, which was a memorable hassle.

November 2024This hotel is superbly located and has the very best layout. The rooftop garden is the ideal place to let children run around when you need a break from the city. David at the front desk went above and beyond helping us. There are complimentary beverages in the mini bar but they are pretty strict on how they refill them. I asked for more water in exchange for the beers and sodas and had to settle for what they would provide. I like that they offer traditional Scottish treats at check in The rooms have seen better days and the outdoor spaces are adjoined. It really is a lovely hotel. The only reason I'm not rating it 4 starts is because I had a runny nose while I was there and called housekeeping to replace the empty tissue box and never got a response. I went down to the front desk and asked again hours later and still didn't get any sent to the room. The next day 12 hours later the box was replaced when the room was cleaned
