Localização excelente.
Pros:

Excelente localização: 5 minutos a pé da Estação de ônibus de Edinburgh (onde saem muitos tours), 7 minutos a pe da estação ferroviaria. Caminhada fácil até a Old Town (15 a 20 minutos) e as principais atrações da cidade de Edinburgh podiam ser alcançadas a pé também. Ao lado do hotel há vários cafés e restaurantes, além de shopping, com farmácias e outros comércios. O quarto era amplo, bem limpo e com uma vista bonita para o Calton Hill. O café da manha era um pouco caro, mas muito bom. Os funcionários Mael, Georgie, Miguel e a camareira Maria são muito solícitas e simpáticas e fizeram a diferença em minha estadia. Recomendo o hotel.

Cons:

Não gostei da ausência de uma academia (ainda que com poucos aparelhos). Tive uma longa estadia e senti falta de poder fazer exercícios físicos em ambiente fechado, já que o clima de Edimburgo é frio e chuvoso.

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.
