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.

Fodor's "There's a clubby atmosphere throughout this hotel, which carries on a successful, sophisticated flirtation with modernity." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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"

Michelin Guide "Impressive two acre roof garden. Stylish bedrooms."
Concierge "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."
Travel + Leisure "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
Rough Guide "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."
Star Service "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
Frommer's "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
Time Out "Try for a room with a view – they're fabulous." Full review
Fodor's "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
Jetsetter "A luxury boutique hotel in central Edinburgh, with a two-acre roof garden, breakfast and a dining discount." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"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."
