The Glasshouse boutique hotel - Edinburgh, United Kingdom 

"A superb place to stay"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
My wife and I stayed for 5 nights during the Edinburgh Festival. The hotel was superb. The rooms are stunning and well laid out, the staff were very friendl and helpful, the breakfasts excellent and the roof garden astonishing. We will most certainly stay there again next year. Friends who stayed as well were similarly satisfied. Gripes? The plumbing can be noisy and erratic and the layout is rather eccentric. However, compared with the other quality hotels in Edinburgh which tend to be stuffy and traditional the Glasshouse is a long way ahead.

Generally matched expectations. <br> Let down by a couple of small things:<br> 1. No bottle opener in the room<br> 2. No decent malt whiskies in the honesty bar - unforgiveable in Edinburgh! Limited range generally.<br> 3. It's irritating to have to predict in advance how long you want to use the broadband for - would be much more convenient to be billed afterwards on actual usage.<br> <br> Will re-use for short business trips, but absence of in-house restaurant will limit attraction for longer / leisure trips

No complaints, everything with the exception of the check in time was a very pleasent experience. The doors from the rooms to the balconies were difficult to open and close but this was a minor detail as the staff were excellent, and very accommodating, the rooms were beautiflly presented, the views were stunning and attention to detail exceptional. Overall I will recommend this hotel to family and friends and look forward to my future return.

That there was the chance to use the swimming pool/ sports hall next door. What was on at the theatre next door if that information was available to the hotel at the time of my booking.

"Absolutely Fantastic"

As a newlywed, I wanted to treat my husband to a special birthday treat and arranged an overnight stay in the Glasshouse. We stayed in the GlenMoray suite which had a front bacing balcony which looked out over the bustling Edinburgh streets below. I cant rave about the hotel enough. We walked into our suite to find the most spacious and luxurious surroundings, a huge bathtub for 2, lovely toiletries, underfloor heating, slippers and bathrobes, clean and warm. Absolutely massive bed which we didnt want to leave, beautifully made and terribly cosy. Plasma TV, L Shaped leather couch, CD player, balcony with chairs. A table for 2 in which we enjoyed a lovely breakfats (£16.50... eeek!!!). The Glasshouse is expensive, there is no denying that, we didnt touch the minibar, instead opting to purchase a bottle of bubbly in the local Threshers which we later enjoyed in our room. We splashed out on the breakfast (room service - which cost us an extra £5) and although it was very good, we would have preferred a bigger plateful for what we were paying. We would go back to the Glasshouse Hotel in a heartbeat. Have read a couple of negative comments about the staff, have to say that everyone that dealt with us were most polite and courteous.
