I wasn't able to get out much for the local food during my short stay in Edinburgh, but the food that I did have at the Glasshouse was delightful. When I first arrived I sat by the fire and enjoyed the Honest Bar where you help yourself and was served dinner. Great way to unwind after a 16 hour travel... More

Stayed overnight on business last week - had been when it first opened years and years ago. very convenient location (for my needs), rooms as nice as ever although building work going on meant it was noisy in the day and I had to keep the curtains closed because the garden area had lots of workmen around - a city...

First, this is a beautiful property in a great location. The room is good with the requisite amenities for a 'boutique' hotel. (nice washroom, nespresso machine, MP3 sound system, etc) However, the major lobby renovation is not in any way contemplated in the service standard. There is one makeshift desk with one (not at all) apologetic staff member. The hotel... More

My wife and I find it difficult to put into words what the Glasshouse Hotel and its extraordinary staff mean to us, and how this unique, beautiful, professional, heart-filled and truly special place will forever be cherished by us. We live in the United States and after deciding to get married in Edinburgh, quickly realized that a site visit in... More

The title of the review just about sums it up. Warning - The Hotel is going through a major refurbishment which wasn't mentioned on the website at the time we booked. Whilst it didn't impact too much on our stay it does mean the hotel is devoid of any atmosphere. The only bar that is open is an honesty bar... More

My wife booked me in for my 40th and it was a great treat, nice touch with a mini decanter of the malt the suite was named after, digital radio to put the Xmas tunes on and access to the beautiful roof garden so the cold air mixed with the warm room. The front of the hotel hides a huge... More

My stay at the Glasshouse was just fantastic. The room was homey, but of high quality and the staff were so friendly and extremely professional. I'd love to stay again. Location is perfect and it really is a special hotel.
