This boutique hotel is well situated near the east end of Princes street at the top of Leith Walk. Our suite (we were upgraded!) was extremely comfortable, and the very large veranda was a bonus (the weather prevented us from using it!). Afternoon tea in the snug was delicious, and there was a complimentary decanter of Talisker in our room.

The hotel was in a great location and is very exclusive, the room was beautiful and the layout was really unique with the Double bed being in the middle of the room, the en-suite bathroom was also very stylish. The bedrooms overlook a beautiful modern communal Garden overlooking Calton Hill and you can sit outside your room on the Garden... More

My partner and I booked the Glasshouse on the back of the reviews and from their own website as a special place to go to celebrate our recent engagement. We are not an overly fussy couple and we travel and use hotels a great deal and our philosophy is 'you get what you pay for' also we never put reviews... More

We arrived for a two night stay in one of there suites for the weekend as it was our anniversary. We usually stay at the Malmaison down Leith walk but decided to try something different. The suite we were given was the Talisker Suite. People had complained about the noise of traffic etc....we just shut the window and it was... More

Great hotel, nice staff. Very friendly and accomodating. Was there one night for work travel. Awesome room, great bathroom. Only downside - checking in and out takes a few minutes. So be ready to wait and be patient. Nice view outside. I'd absolutely stay there again. Not sure if there's a gym, didn't go.

Befor our arrival we asked for a nice room as our trip was for a special occasion. The room was just amazing! Huge bathroom with bath and shower, small terrace, king bed, beautiful view on the hills from the roof terrace. The staff is really nice and professionnal and the location is great. Just one small bad point, there was... More

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
