I was in Edinburgh for work and was looking for a hotel near the station. The hotel far exceeded my expectations. Firstly I was greeted by an extremely friendly and helpful young lady. I was then shown to my room. The room was spacious and had everything I could have needed (including a balcony overlooking Edinburgh). There was complimentory wi... More

We stayed at the glasshouse in April. Overall the place was clean and tidy. Reasonably well appointed, but we paid a ridiculous price compared to other places we'd stayed in Scotland and compared to those this had less facilities and in-room comforts. Hunt around a bit because there is most likely something a bit more special in the area. More

Don't usually place notices on these web sites,but I thought the Glasshouse deserves a mention. The hotel is in a good central location the rooms are very good but the point that is most worth a mention is the friendly staff. Friendly knowledgable and couldn't do enough for you More

Myself and my partner stayed for two nights to celebrate my partner's birthday. We booked through Trivago and got an excellent deal, which we upgraded to a suite on arrival for £35 per night. The room was beautiful, and my partner was more than happy with his complimentary decanter of whiskey, however our stay was somewhat spoiled by being woken... More

We stayed in the Glasshouse in February and were totally charmed. They thought of everything.! The view was magnificent from our roof terrace and our room was fantastic Have no hesitation in recommending this boutique hote. We are very fussy people and couldn't find a fault. The only thing I would say that breakfast is overpriced, but if you book... More

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. More

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
