Horrible customer service. They sold our room to a wedding party and stuck us in an awful room that lacked proper air conditioning. We were there for 3 nights and we’re only able to move to the room we had booked on the third night (once the wedding party had departed). We’re loyal Marriott customers (Platinum) and when we asked for compensation we were offered a token amount of points. I’m not entirely sure they even use the room they gave us on a normal basis, or if it’s some sort of an over flow room they use in emergencies. The bathroom was moldy with stains on the carpet and the floor in the main area was in need of an update. And as mentioned above, air conditioning wasn’t working on our room. Apparently this hotel is franchised out so Marriott corporate can only do so much to convince the management of this hotel to offer any sort of appropriate compensation. Clearly, the management here doesn’t listen to the advice of there parent company.

I didn't stay at the hotel, we went for a party that our company organised at the rooftop terrace and I have to say I was impressed. Great views, fabulous meal and great service, specially from Emily who went the extra mile to get me orange juice for my drink. Thank you for a fantastic time!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Glasshouse. The staff was a particular highlight. They were extremely helpful and welcoming. Our room was very nice and spacious. The unexpected outdoor space was really nice and added to the relaxed feel of the hotel. We spent a little time at the bar which was a fun atmosphere and the bartenders were terrific. I might not be getting the name right but Jonathan was helpful with our bags and getting us headed in the right direction for our trip out of Edinburgh. Would recommend for the great location too.

We had a fabulous stay at The Glasshouse Hotel. Located in the newer part of Edinburgh but a short walk away from the Royal Mile, Holyrood and the Castle. Plenty of shopping and restaurants close by. We upgraded to a suite which had a huge balcony overlooking the city and was a very large room with a great bathroom. One of our favorite things was the rooftop garden where we enjoyed drinks under an arbor and also had a great lookout as well as a large grassy area to relax. The bar is small but the bartender created a personalized gin and tonic concoction which was lovely. The breakfast that was included with our status was delicious. Every staff member that we encountered was friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at this property again if we have the chance.

The hotel is in a great location. The best part of the hotel is the staff, very warm & professional. Special shout out to Monday who went out of his way to help us with a money exchange problem. Both kilt wearing young men, Jonathan and Alexander; were very kind and courteous with our bags and sharing their humor. Adam at the bar was very nice too! We were in room 117 and it is tricky to find but very large.

The Glasshouse hosted our annual Summer BBQ event, completely blown away with the level of service and venue overlooking Calton Hill. Really friendly staff, food was great, overall fantastic experience!

Repurposed building made into a hotel. The staff is fine, the location is good, and the room (Signature room) is clean, and very large and well furnished. But getting to the rooms is a hassle, you enter the lobby, must take an elevator to the third floor, walk across a long lobby, then either 54 stairs down, or another elevator hidden behind a fire door. Very convoluted getting in or out (out means climbing the 54 stairs). And our room and the whole bank of rooms is right over a bar/restaurant that play loud music with a heavy beat until 11:00 pm.
