The Hotel is fantastic and the staff generally very good - but the Hotel is situated in very close proximity to a numebr of night clubs. Accordingly, if you value sleep - stay elsewhere!! more

We booked an executive room, we were disappointed as the room was quite small. The room itself was lovely and the bed so comfortable. We were disappointed by the lack of facilities in the hotel. There was an honesty bar, but we felt the hotel lacked atmosphere. Overall we really did enjoy our stay, however we feel we would not... more

The Glasshouse is a fantastic hotel! You just have to make sure that you have a room with a garden view, NOT a city view! Two of the three rooms had city views, and people were noisy into the wee hours of the morning. One of our rooms had a garden view, which was absolutely perfect and quiet. more

The Glasshouse is fantastic. Have stayed several times now, each time in a different style room and location within the hotel. Happy each time! Simply love staying here. The staff are very friendly and really do make you feel special. The decor is fantastic, the beds are amazingly comfy and a good night's sleep is guaranteed. Perfectly located within Edinburgh... more

Excellent boutique hotel, very centrally located. Very helpful staff, spotless rooms and public areas, lovely toiletries and undoubtedly the loveliest bed I have ever slept in! The champagne and strawberries warranted by a special occasion were much more than just that - two big glasses of strawberries and one of whipped cream, complete with chocolate curls and chocolate coated strawberries!... more

We arrived at the hotel at around 7 pm and were greeted by two very friendly receptionists. I was then shown to the room by the bellboy who was very friendly and offered to show me everything in the room. Our room overlooked the outside street and had a large ground to ceiling windows. The comfortable bed was separated from... more

The Glasshouse Hotel was fabulous. It is unique among hotels and centrally located in Edinburgh. The façade at the front of the hotel is what remains of a19th-century church, but this glass-clad boutique hotel is pure 21st century. My wife and I stayed at the Glasshouse for a week in May and June of 2009 in the Dalwinnie suite. All... more

My husband and I booked here as we were going to the Steely Dan gig in the Playhouse, and it was his birthday - WOW to both the concert and the hotel - I hope we go back to Edinburgh (staying in Glasgow we can't justify it all the time!) and stay here again. The staff are so friendly and... more

We stayed 5 nights at the start of June. We were very pleasantly surprised at how spacious the suite was. We had a balcony which we enjoyed very much. The breakfast was wonderful and all of the staff was very friendly. We received lots of help with restaurant reservations. We will definitely stay here when we return to Edinburgh. more
