Excellent séjour à Édimbourg, mais si c’était à refaire, je ne choisirais pas cet hôtel.
Pros:

Le confort des chambres et de la literie. Le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

La situation est moyenne (un peu excentrée) et, surtout, l’hôtel est ultra-bruyant et les rideaux ferment très mal, face à des spots lumineux éclairés toute la nuit. Difficile de bien dormir dans ces conditions !

Pros:

I had a wonderful experience at The Glasshouse, Autograph Collection. I stayed for five nights during my honeymoon, and the entire experience was truly memorable.

The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout the stay, which made a big difference. As a thoughtful gesture, they surprised us with a complimentary bottle of whiskey, which we really appreciated.

The hotel itself is very comfortable, well-maintained, and offers a relaxing atmosphere—perfect for a special occasion like a honeymoon. I genuinely enjoyed every moment of my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful and high-quality experience.

Lovely hotel with rooftop gardens, but breakfast needs to be improved both in staffing and quality.
Pros:

All staff were very nice and engaging. The room was lovely and great to have access directly to the gardens. Great views from the gardens to the Firth of Forth and Calton Hill. Location was superb, with the Omni centre next door and plenty of good places to eat.

Cons:

Breakfast was disappointing for a 5 star hotel like this. We had to wait for a table for a while, not because there were no tables but because they were short staffed. While waiting we were offered to help ourselves to juice, but when we tried to take some there were no glasses. It was even a big deal to get a spoon for the yoghurt. The food was also quite bland, cheap ingredients used. For the price, our expectations were not delivered. They need to do better as this is an easy fix.

Very sumptuous.
Pros:

The welcome was lovely and a glass of Prosecco on arrival. The hotel is lovely and our room was spacious and very comfortable. Whilst we didn’t use the outside space because of the weather it did look great.

O hotel superou as nossas expectativas.
Pros:

Uma ótima experiência. Hotel central, próximo de várias atrações. Funcionários educados e solícitos, que tiraram dúvidas e ajudaram com sugestões. O quarto era grande e claro, com decoração de qualidade e bancada grande para trabalho. Colchão, roupa de cama e travesseiros maravilhosos, dificultando sair da cama de manhã para conhecer a cidade... amenities Elemis, que amamos, roupões e chinelos. Máquina Nespresso com cápsulas, chás e água, que eram reabastecidos todos os dias.

Cons:

No banheiro, a porta do box abre para fora, molhando a parte externa- apesar do piso ser aquecido e secar logo. Poderia ter algumas gavetas para roupas.

Good location, dated rooms, odd architectural setup.
Pros:

The room felt a little dated, but was very spacious. The staff was very friendly. The location within Edinburgh is convenient. The tram connection form the airport right to the hotel is great.

Cons:

Carpet in the bathroom, seriously?
The hotel has a very odd setup with a lobby at street level that has no facilities other than the check in desk. From there you take an elevator up to the top floor into a corridor. A significant walk along the corridor lets you reach a bar area, which most of the day felt lifeless. There is a beautiful roof deck on the same level, but the bar area is not visually connected, in fact it is windowless. There were signs for a restaurant but I never saw it. All in all it felt very disjointed and did not have the energy of a regular hotel lobby and bar setup.
