"Super base in Edinburgh" Stayed for 2 nights and were very well looked after. I'm, too, not sure it's a "boutique" hotel, but our room (Exec double) was excellent and the bathroom was superb. Looking onto the roof garden too was lovely. Bet it's fab in summer. The staff were not very scottish, but very attentive and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Location is excellent.

"Fantastic hotel" Stayed here for 1 night on Sun 18/3/07 and loved every minute of our stay. Upon entering the hotel you are directed to a seat at a very plush desk where the registration process is completed. Staff were extremely friendly and professional and seemed genuinely pleased to see us. As we had not stayed here before a porter escorted us to our suite on the 3rd floor, again a very friendly chap. We stayed in suite 47 (Talisker Suite) All the suites are named after whiskeys and have a complimentary decanter of whisky within. The suite was amazing. Very big with a seperate bed and sitting area. The bed was huge and could easily have slept 3 persons with loads of pillows and luxury sheets. The sitting area was seperated from the bedroom by a wooden divider which incorporated the plasma tv which ingeniously swiveled round so it could be viewed whilst in bed or sitting on the leather sofa. Other amenities included fruit, complimentary water, selection of magazines, superb JVC sound system, reasonably priced mini bar, in room safe, complimentary daily newspaper, electric curtain controls, and a huge balcony overlooking the main street below. The bathroom was pretty impressive too, consisting of an anteroom housing twin sinks, wardrobe with iron and board, slippers, robes and Glasshouse umbrella. The main wet area contained a large bath, seperate double shower cubicle, bidet, heated towel rail, under floor heating, bathroom scales and luxurious Korres toiletries. The maid attended at night to turn down the bed and also left loads of candles and a thistle on the bed. The hotel has a small bar called the Snug which is not staffed but operates on an honesty principle where u complete a form stating what drinks you have consumed. I have stayed in many good hotels all over the world but have never before felt compelled to write a review until now. This is without doubt one of the best hotels i've ever stayed in. The staff are so friendly and go out their way to make sure you are satisfied.Nothing was too much trouble to them. I'll definately stay here again and cant wait till im back here. For anyone thinking of staying in Edinburgh book this hotel. You wont be dissapointed.

"Great Design, Contemporary Rooms" From the moment my partner and I walked into the hotel, we were impressed with its simple luxury. The design is simple, contemporary, and unique. The space of the rooms is utilized very well and everything is new and modern. The honesy bar lobby is wonderful and everyone was friendly. We ate breakfast in the restaurant, and spoke to our fellow guests. If we are ever in Scotland again, we will stay in the Glasshouse!

"A superb place to stay" 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.

"Wonderful" I stayed at the Glasshouse on a recent business trip to Edinburgh. It was one of the most pleasurable hotel experiences and one of the rare occasions where my expectations were surpassed. I found it to be very quiet, clean and comfortable, and the staff was courteous and attentive. I needed driving directions to a meeting and I found them printed out, with a map, and under my door when I awoke that morning. The continental breakfast was lavish and delicious. The hotel is an approximately 4 to 5 block walk from the Princess Street area and less than a mile from Edinburgh castle. If I ever return to Edinburgh I will stay at the Glasshouse without question.

"1st class - lovely stay" Picked this hotel due to the reviews and it was right next door to the playhouse theatre where I was attending a concert. First impressions 1st class - arrived early and left bags at reception and met very friendly doorman. When we came back later went to our room which had the cases already there and coats hung in the wardrobe. We were shown to our room by the doorman. Rooms were lovely and has a really comfortable bed. I found the rooms really quiet and as the whole place is carpeted you don't hear other guests moving a round outside. On the down side - and don't let this detract you - the doorman may have been overly friendly (if there is such a thing! American visitors will be used to this but we in the UK still find this a little uncomfortable). He did look cool in his trendy hat and gave a good recommendation for dinner at a nice Italian across the road. The honesty bar lacked a bit of atmosphere, but plenty of bars next door in the Omni Centre. Free morning paper did not arrive. On balance I would highly recommend this hotel which is very central and just across the road from John Lewis and Harvey Nichols, and also a short walk from Princess St. The rooms are excellent and staff efficient. I booked at Travelocity which had the best rates even when other sites said there were no rooms available.

"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.

"My Best Boutique Hotel Stay" The Glasshouse will not disappoint you. To be honest, I was expecting a half-baked quaint Scottish version of a trendy hip hotel and was glad to see that this hotel can take care of itself. The lobby was a little sparse and under designed, but the rest of the common areas and rooms are lush, well designed and decorated to a high standard. Even the amenities were top notch. The price? Who cares! What would you pay for a feather queen suite with wild cherry kitchenette and dining area, a slate tiled bathroom with frameless shower, a full glass back wall that opens onto a patio on a roof top garden in Edinburgh? "The Snug" self service open bar was perfect for a night cap. The only area in which the Glasshouse fails is the valet...there is none.
