Cosiest white linen beds, fluffy towels, modern/chic decor, superb staff, great coffee making in room facility and quality complimentary products. Always enjoy my stay here. Staff can't do enough for you including calling restaurants to let them know if you're delayed.

Stayed here with my family only one night, but would have loved to spend more time here. We tsayed in a small suite, since the regular rooms were all booked. The bed was absolutely superb - I don't think I've had as comfortable a sleep in a long time. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the location was... More

I recently took my partner to the glasshouse to celebrate our anniversary, and i have to say the stay was disturbed and spoiled by the noise to the point that staying in the hotel during the day was impossible! We were woken early the next day once the builders had started again - you'd hope that staying in a "posh"... More

Overall a very good stay, reception was quick and efficient. Views overlooking the city are amazing at night. The honesty bar is a nice touch although the price of some of the items is a bit above what you'd expect to pay, unless it was made by unicorns.

Stayed here a few weeks ago on a visit to the Capital and enjoyed ourselves capitally! Chosen primarily for it's central location, this was the proverbial pleasant surprise. A modern, comfortable room with views onto the rooftop garden / walkway. The bed was soft and comfortable with the wall mounted TV in just the right place to ensure that you... More

I stayed here recently, I absolutely could not fault my stay, from the lovely reception and door staff to the attention to detail throughout the hotel. Even though the renovation work was still in progress it didn't make any difference. The level of service is simply brilliant.

Our first visit to the Glasshouse but hopefully not the last. Booked as an alternative to the Apex Waterloo where we usually stay for the Edinburgh marathon as the Apex was full - and I am glad it was! Fantastic warm welcome from the Doorman, very relaxed check in with very attentive staff. We stayed in room 41 which has... More

This is a great hotel, would definitely stay there again. The room was lovely and spacious and the view was lovely. I cannot stress how great of a location this is, to the left was the Omni centre which had a cinema, wetherspoons, pizza hut, slug and lettuce, Frankie n bennys etc. basically everything you need. On the right of... More

As a regular Fringe Festival attendee, I am all too painfully aware of the difficulties that can be experienced finding good central accommodation. I managed to find a very good deal on the Internet for this hotel and it more than exceeded our expectations. We had a room overlooking the roof terrace. The package booked online was room only but... More
