“Lovely hotel in fantastic location.”

person found this review helpful

We stayed in The Bonham for two nights in February, couldn't have asked for more from the hotel. Lovely rooms, clean with extremely helpful staff. Parking at the rear of the hotel also very handy. A few minutes walk to Princes St. I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

“A good quality 4 star hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Stayed here 13th January for 2 nights on a special offer January deal which included full breakfast and 2 course evening meal both nights.

Our room was large clean and comfortable (think it was a superior room) with a fantastic panoramic view from the bay window.

The staff in all areas were helpful and friendly and delivered quality service without being "in your face"

We were really impressed with the evening meals both evenings and do not think we could have gone for a nicer meal had we eaten out. The wine was also very reasonable for a hotel of this standard.

The location was ideal - quiet but easy walking distance to major attractions and train station

We would definetely return to this hotel and recommend to others as it felt like a real treat at a very reasonable price

“A very special birthday...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012

We booked this and didn't realise quite how special it was (think we got a bit of a bargain!) . Before we arrived we did have a look and were VERY excited to arrive. And we were not disappointed!

Great service for the three nights we stayed, warm welcome and all information needed given.

We used the hotel restaurant first night which was great, very pleased and a great start. Even got sent some nibbles over with compliments which impressed me no end! Breakfast was lovely, full breakfast was extra and VERY expensive however so we stayed away. Stuck to toast, cereal, pastries etc.

The room was lovely, big, spacious,clean. The decor was modern and tasteful with a massive bathroom.

Location was a 10-15 minute walk to everything.

Perfect, would love to go again but would need to find another bargain!

Room Tip: Shop around and grab a bargain room at this hotel!

“Optimally located ...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

person found this review helpful

... just a 5 minutes walk from the end of Princess Street, but very quiet. The venerable buildings are full of modern art and interesting architectural details; service was very good. As fort he rooms, we can only describe our (very recommendable) room 100: spacious, nice view, huge four poster bed and a quirky bath with integrated neo-victorian shower ... good fun! All in all, one oft he best stays we ever had in Edinburgh!
