Concierge "Nineteenth-century ornamental cornices, wood panels, and high ceilings satisfy the historical cravings of period enthusiasts, but... huge modern canvases by area artists keep it from feeling frumpy."
Lonely Planet "The Bonham is one of the few Edinburgh hotels that manages a successful fusion of traditional Victorian interiors with bold modern colours and contemporary design." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Ultra-smart town house, boasting a rich interior with a perfect blend of many original features and some contemporary touches, including modern works of art and furniture."
Time Out "Originally three Victorian townhouses, the Bonham has at various points been used for private housing, a medical practice and a hall of residence for female medical students." Full review
Star Service "This remains one of Edinburgh's best contemporary boutique-hotels in quiet environs, with private access to the gardens across the street.

"A hotel combining restrained urban cool and a smattering of good modern art with faintly riotous boutique bedrooms: monochrome or fizzy lime green, purple and raspberry stripes." Full review
The Guardian "A trio of Victorian townhouses, set on a leafy crescent in the city’s West End, the Bonham has a classic, refined feel, with glittering chandeliers and bedrooms that mix muted decor with berry-hued velvet sofas and chairs"

"The four-floor, 27-room B B Edinburgh is a modern boutique take on the traditional bed-and-breakfast inn." Full review

"It is worth staying here just to see the galleried library lounge, not to mention the eccentric atmosphere, period features, generous breakfasts and excellent value for money." Full review
Independent "27-room boutique B&B: it’s away from the city buzz on a purely residential street of Georgian townhouses. But it far exceeds the expectations of a regular B&B with a full complement of quirks."
Frommer's "Each floor has a different color scheme, beds are comfy, furniture funky, and some have freestanding baths...views at the back—of pretty Dean Village to the Forth and hills of Fife—are equally good. " Full review
