Michelin Guide "Classic Georgian townhouse concealing a funky, boutique interior... Luxurious."
Concierge "It's an enclave for local thirty- and fortysomething professionals who aren't into the tartan-and-whisky charm of their forebears' haunts and want to party in a cool urban scene."

"The Tigerlily is housed in an historic Georgian townhouse, but inside, it's thoroughly modern." Full review
Rough Guide "A glitzy boutique hotel, bar and restaurant that epitomizes the new “gorgeous” George St. A classic Georgian townhouse transformed into a flamboyant design extravaganza."
Time Out "The bedrooms are designed to the hilt... this remains one of the best-loved hotels in the city, to say nothing of its visually opulent bar, restaurant or nightclub." Full review
Frommer's "The 33 rooms and suites ooze sex appeal, seductively outfitted in bright Designers Guild fabrics, bespoke four posters." Full review

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"
