Stayed here for one night in March. Ideal location. Amazing room with a balcony that was essentially on top of Omni centre with views of the city and sea. Comfortable bed. Nice bathroom. Good mini bar choice. Honesty bar down in the lounge was a nice touch. There was a wedding going on and it looked like a lovely place... More

First impressions count, so sitting down to check in was a great start. The hotel is a beautifully designed modern boutique hotel with a churchlike facade in a great location right in the centre but looking up and out at Calton Hill from the big glass windows and terrace at the back. There were loads of attentive details that made... More

Have enjoyed a short break in Edinburgh, booking a last minute stay at the Glasshouse. Arrived early morning to a very friendly welcome from doorman which set the tone for our short stay...great central location with good local restaurants although being so close to John Lewis is perhaps not good for the Credit Card! Room was ideal, nice patio to... More

A really nice hotel. Well located in Edinburgh city centre. Rooms look out onto a garden area where you can sit out. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The honesty bar was cosy and relaxing. We did not have breakfast so we cannot comment on the quality of food. The hotel is rated 5 star, however, we felt that it... More

Let me start by saying this is a very nice hotel in a great location. Room was lovely, although the art work wasn't really my cup of tea. Whisky was a nice touch for those who like Whisky. I had a lovely night but was disappointed my very large balcony was facing the street rather than the more picturesque hillside,... More

We have just returned home from a 2 night stay, our second visit having visited in 2010. Like the first visit, we were not disappointed. The staff were first class, nothing seemed a problem. Although we stayed in a suite the first time, the smaller room this time was also superb, one of the comfyist beds I have ever slept... More

Fabulous Hotel, not big or impersonal- true boutique philosophy. All staff without exception were wonderful. We had emailed ahead as only just recently got engaged, upon arrival the hotel congratulated us and also upgraded our room to a suite. Wonderful. The hotel is perfect location for access to the city. Faultless. More

We've stayed in quite a few hotels in Edinburgh and the Glasshouse is a good location, right next door to the Playhouse Theatre. Friendly and welcoming staff. Rooms were well equipped and comfortable. The honesty bar was a novel and refreshing idea & the roof terrace garden was also very peaceful and pleasant. Beds and pillows were very comfy. I... More

We were fortunate to have a two night stay courtesy of a Christmas present from our son, the hotel is beautiful,modern and has a novel roof garden onto which our room opened and as we both smoke this was a bonus for us. The situation was excellent but we walked by the entrance unknowingly and had to ask it's whereabouts... More

Recently stayed here with my girlfriend, we were only in Edinburgh for the night (and our first time in the city to boot) but what an amazing night that was! The room we were given was stunning, the bathroom was top notch. I have never slept in such a spacious comfortable bed as the one in our suite. The atmosphere... More
