Beautiful clean great food and staff amazing location

Everything was outstanding- bed could have been more comfy hard mattress but everything else fabulous

Beautiful boutique hotel. Lovely restaurant and bar. Our room was large and spacious with beautiful high ceilings and chandelier. Nice and comfortable bed and bedding. Large bathroom with great shower and hot water. Robe and slippers provided. Everyday housekeeping did a great job stocking water and milk in the fridge and chocolate on your pillow. Coffee and tea maker in the room. Beautiful windows with plenty of light. Just a beautiful hotel. 20 min walk to Old town. Easy to get a cab or Uber. Highly recommend.

The location was great and the hotel was wonderful with very good food, especially the breakfast.

We could not find any fault at all.

One of the best hotel rooms I have ever stayed in (Rothesay suite) alsonut was tremendously cheap for what it was ! Best value I have ever experienced.

It’s a small house hotel - don’t expect huge facilities

Breakfast was very good and service was exceptional.

No complaints.

An absolutely gorgeous hotel, the decor was incredibly lush, but also very comfortable. The hotel bar was gorgeous, and the service both from the bar staff and from reception was incredible, we really felt so welcome. The room was large, and had a shower over bath, which was ideal. The bed was massive, we also had a dining table, vanity and large closet. We will absolutely be back, the location was so convenient and the amenities were second to none.

The extra charges for parking were not made clear on the booking, but that is the only thing that could possibly be improved.

Beautiful hotel in Edinburgh very central.

The hotel is beautiful. So often these old building hotels are in need of renovation but the Bonham is beautifully decorated and kept. I would recommend this hotel to anyone, it is excellent value for money.

Bar and restaurant lively and atmospheric.

We stayed in master suite. The combined bath and shower was hopeless and needs ripping out and starting again.

Everything was exceptional, from the staff to the breakfast and the place its self. The first hotel that was much better in reality than in the pictures ! The hotel became part of the hole magical experience of Edinburgh.

The only thing that could improve are the prices of the food and drinks that weren't included in the accommodation price!

The rooms were beautiful. Breakfast was amazing. And the staff were really friendly.

Unfortunately the room we were in was close to the function room and we could hear the music quite loud.

Decor

Lack of coconut and oak milk

Loved everything about the hotel

It was in a quiet area of town and it was very well appointed

Nothing

Beautiful room, fantastic location, High quality amenities

Nothing :)

Staff were very friendly and helpful

Restaurant only open 3 days perweek

Room was too warm and there was no obvious thermostat or control, and no information about temperature control in the info binder in the room.

Lovely breakfast. Friendly and very helpful staff. Set in a peaceful location. Very clean. Bed was super comfortable!

Only negative was the cleaner used a room next to ours and she slammed the door quite a lot coming in / out and it made quite a loud banging noise early in the morning!

Delicious breakfast with prosecco and freshly cooked. Attentive staff. Good bar and sitting spaces.

Stylish interior and relaxed atmosphere. Very helpful staff.

Great room with excellent view. Nice bar. Good facilities in the room.

Location & team 👍

Nothing- everything excellent

Nothing is too much trouble ! Great friendly staff

The hotel is absolutely excellent all round. Exceptionally clean, very helpful and attentive staff. Room was fantastic, with excellent facilities. Breakfast was also absolutely delicious. In the west end of Edinburgh so central enough for all the main attractions but nicely tucked away from all the busyness.

Couldn’t fault it whatsoever.

We spent our wedding weekend here and it was one of the most pleasant experiences we've ever had. The staff couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful room and a view across the city that my now wife had to share with all her family back in the US.

There wasn't a single thing not to like.

Everything

Well asking for a credit card number when you book in felt uncomfortable. But in some ways necessary.

Luxurious, comfortable and the perfect balance between a convenient but slightly quieter location.

Location service level fantastic

The service was excellent, all of the staff were so friendly and welcoming. The whole hotel was immaculate, with beautiful decor and lovely smelling rooms. We were within easy walking distance of the places we wanted to visit.

The back lane to the carpark is narrow, so be careful when going to park!

Everything about the Bonham is excellent - has parking available for a small charge and a lovely walk into the centre, so perfect location. The house has all the beautiful fates of an original house, spacious rooms and very comfortable - they thought of everything we could possibly want. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Nothing, everything was perfect. Couldn't fault a thing.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Barman was great and breakfast was excellent. Hotel wasn’t that busy so no queues at breakfast. Our room perhaps a wee bit small but perfectly adequate.

Nothing could have improved our visit but if I’m slightly picky perhaps a larger room.

Wonderful art collection and very interesting history of the hotel.

Our room was well furnished, clean and comfortable. The lounge spaces were inviting and staff were attentive. Check in and out was easy. The location was excellent.

Nothing about the property. We’ve stayed there before and will do so again when we’re back in Edinburgh.

Excellent hotel with real character, charm, quality and comfort.

The continental breakfast although marketed well was poor. Many of the items on the menu weren’t available. We requested them including staple items e.g. ham, cheese, yogurt pots & received no initial feedback. We asked again and were told they’d run out…….hard to believe at 8.40 in the morning. The lack of feedback & management was unacceptable for an hotel of this standard.

Great place and lovely staff

We like nice and special places - The Bonham was definitely worth testing.

Nothing negative to report.

Location, you wouldn’t think you are in the city centre

N/a

The hotel premises, staff and restaurant all offered the highest standards of elegent service and atmosphere. Understated, sophisticated and tasteful in all respects. Not an influencer in sight!

Everything was excellent but I would perhaps caution that young families may not find it as wonderfully relaxing as we did.

The property was beautifully decorated and staff very attentive. In a good area, close to restaurants and only a short walk to the shops.

The mattresses are very hard, however they were very happy to add mattress toppers.

A friendly welcome and very helpful staff. Our deluxe double room was stunning. Very clean with a big super comfy bed. Lovely quiet location in a nice area about 20 mins walk from town. Nice cafes and coffee shops only a few minutes away. Bus stop also very close

Nothing

Lovely Hotel adorned with lots of Art work and beautiful ornaments. Loved my room and the views. In a nice Quiet area. Food was good quality.

Hard Bed 🛌 Staff were quick to respond with a mattress topper which worked well. The room was cold and I was unable to operate the radiator and no instructions. Also I didn't expect the Hotel to be so far to walk to from Princes Street. Best to have a car.

Beautiful building, lovely interior. Fabulous room with wonderful coffee machine and a few thoughtful little touches (milk for coffee- little shortbreads) and environmentally considerate lovely toiletries. Spotlessly clean!

Just quite personal as arthritis in leg- would have preferred a walk in shower (I never asked when booking so my error) as I was worried I c couldn’t get out of bath after shower!

Breakfast excellent Room comfortable Service excellent

Our room was on floor-1 and the noise transmission from above was annoying

We only had breakfast once, just to try haggis. We were not fans. The breakfast was in our opinion expensive.

Bed was quite hard

The hotel is in a residential neighborhood near the Turkish Embassy and Wealth Managers (due to the tony address) so it is quiet, but also in walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Stockbridge and the tram that takes you to Princes Street, St Andrew Square, Leith and the Port, or even the Airport if you're going the other way. It's a stunning hotel, both inside and out. There's a booklet that tells the history of the two houses joined to form the hotel. The front desk staff is helpful, rooms are a nice size and well-appointed with the Cadillac of Nespresso machines. Coffee and Tea are both provided as well as cups for each. The king bed was so comfortable - the best bed of our 3-bed trip. I appreciated the small empty cabinet in the bathroom that allowed us to put things away - I've never seen that before. Each room is equipped with an umbrella. Water is replaced daily. The TV set-up allowed us to stream from our phone - tech that is up-to-date is so appreciated. And the wi-fi was strong. Breakfast, included in our room rate, was very good and included both the continental breakfast and (buffet) selections as well as a choice from the Ala carte menu. My husband had the full Scottish every day and thoroughly enjoyed it. The dining room is lovely and was a nice place to sit in the morning. Service was efficient and friendly. The bar was also very good - great cocktails, a decent wine list, good scotch and gin selection, and a bar menu with some good choices for a light bite. Room service - we had to leave before breakfast one morning but we were able to pre-order breakfast sandwiches, fruit cups, and coffee to take away. Just ask for a form from the front desk. All-in-all the Bonham is a stand-out hotel with exceptional service and comfort.

Occasionally the staff was more interested in finishing their conversation than taking care of guests.

Beautiful building, decorations, and great artwork. The staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious served in delightful surroundings. The location was very good, a lovely quiet area but close enough to the city centre to walk in easily. A really good visit.

Nothing at all!

Friendly staff, good food and a touch of luxury

Some furnishing getting a little tired looking, bathroom could have been cleaner
