"The Hotel Ceilidh-Donia is in the suburbs, around a mile and a half south of Princes Street (ten minutes on the bus on a good day)." Full review

"This mid-range bed and breakfast hotel has 17 individually decorated rooms in a charming, traditional Victorian townhouse." Full review

"More like a small hotel than a B&B, the Ceilidh-Donia is a welcoming and professional little outfit, now owner-run, close to Arthur's Seat." Full review

"Impressive two acre roof garden. Stylish bedrooms."

"Arguably, the nicest feature is the hotel's roof garden. Replete with lawns, an arch-shaped covered deck, and all-weather armchairs, it's the only one in the city."

"Built around the neo-Gothic façade of a 19th-century church, the Glasshouse Hotel contrasts old stone with contemporary, metal-framed glass walls." Full review

"This ultra-hip hotel has 65 chichi rooms with push-button curtains and sliding doors opening onto a huge, lush roof garden scattered with Philippe Starck furniture."

"What it lacks in facilities it makes up for in the service department: free shoeshines, complimentary business cards, free Wi-Fi and adept 24-hour room service." Full review

"The floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the city's skyline to the front or open onto the neatly trimmed two-acre rooftop garden at the back." Full review

"Try for a room with a view – they're fabulous." Full review

"Glass walls extend from the 19th-century facade of a former church, foreshadowing the daring interior of one of the city's original boutique hotels." Full review

"A luxury boutique hotel in central Edinburgh, with a two-acre roof garden, breakfast and a dining discount." Full review

"Don’t let the high-Gothic entrance fool you, The Glasshouse features lots of groovy furnishings (including a snug/bar complete with fire bowl), a fab rooftop garden, retro-styled bedrooms overlooking the city or garden and a restaurant that only opens when it feels like it, it's a little off-piste - but in a good way."
