We had a wonderful stay, the hotel was gorgeous, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The hotel was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. The staff was friendly and really helpful. The food was good and the bar was lovely.

My only comment is that there should have been a recycling bin in the room. Otherwise, nothing to add.

Another wonderful stay at the Bonham

The building is beautiful and the rooms are very nice. The staff is incredibly attentive and wonderfully accommodating. The breakfast is delicious too.

The pillows and bed could be softer.

A fabulous little palace in Edinburgh

This beautiful hotel exceeded my expectations from the beginning all the way to the end of my stay, it definitely has a charm and atmosphere. A warm welcome at the reception by Lukas and Alex who greeted me and gave me lots of useful information about the city. The building itself is so beautiful, decorated for Christmas, and situated in a quiet residential area but just a few minutes away from the center. My room was spacious, impeccably clean and with the nice view over the park. Breakfast was delicious, especially a la cart choices, and the staff in the restaurant were very polite and friendly. Coffee and tea maker in the room was an absolute treat. The bathroom was beautifully decorated and clean with a great shower and toiletries. They also serve afternoon tea and it was great. I had a dinner on the first day of my arrival and it was very nice, typical Scottish cuisine, very delicious. Edinburgh is an amazing city to visit and the Bonham hotel is just the right place to stay while visiting.

Very good

Charming Scottish Hotel. Fabulous Christmas decor. Breakfast selection was excellent. Bedroom warm and cosy.

I was astounded by the lack of interaction with me and my partner at check in. There was no information forthcoming on standard check in such as where Breakfast was, the possibility of booking for dinner, the opportunity to test taste some whiskies etc not to mention no information on the local area and what to do in Edinburgh. Guest care not a priority at reception in this hotel. We did not receive a Goodbye or Travel safely comment as we left. I strongly reccomend that staff are trained to a standard befitting this lovely hotel.

Well located and posh!

Beautifully appointed hotel, with lush decor. The room was very posh, with nice amenities, including coffee and tea, and of course, shortbread! The hotel bar was great, with attentive and helpful wait staff. All staff were wonderful and helpful. The only little negative was that our rooms were on the lower level, so we could hear people wheeling suitcases across the marble floor in and out of the lobby above, and could hear hotel staff in and out of the freight elevator. Not anyone's fault, just something to be aware of when you book. Otherwise, a very excellent stay!

Comfort and beauty

Housekeeping was amazing -- whether I stayed in my room until noon or left at 9, when I came back it was refreshed. I appreciated the refrigerated water and the selection of hot drinks. Overall, I felt every moment that I was welcome and appreciated, and I was supremely comfortable. The area is quiet and charming while also being a short walk to the shopping districts. A wonderful stay.

Luxury boutique hotel.

Beautiful hotel set in a leafy quiet street in Edinburgh. The decor was period style and beautiful too with a bar and lovely dining room for breakfast. Room was clean and tidy with all the amenities you expect in a 5 star hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back again if I visit Edinburgh. Good off street parking which felt secure.

Nothing! No complaints at all!

Location. Cleanliness. Lovely cosy room. A beautifully maintained period property.

I always think the staff lack warmth. Perhaps a socket nearer the mirror for drying hair. I did say this on checkout and they said they’d hope to resolve this issue.
