The Bonham Reviews

Fantastic Hotel , wax very annoyed they put 12.5 % charge on everything you buy , very under hand

It was a terrible experience during our trip to Edinburgh. The room was not being tidy for the entire day . The request of top up supplies of water tooks more than 45 minutes and after 2 calls of reminder. The On duty officer took action after we personally went down to receptionist to remind the request. Not recommended.

Great old school hotel that provides affordable luxury. All amenities thought off,I really can’t fault it. The only thing I would mention is that there is no air con but for Edinburgh that isn’t really needed 95% of the time. Would definitely return

Beautiful hotel, great staff, well made drinks at the bar. Bit of a walk to the castle area, but a nice walk.

Good short stay for 1 night, they have 1 library and bar / restaurant as amenities

Great location, very nice building, with wonderfully appointed common areas (esp liked the library). Friendly and attentive service and tasty food (recommend the afternoon tea). The rooms are well decorated, spacious and bright. BUT there is a lot of noise, primarily from internal sources. So insulation really should be improved. Everything is audible from the hallway and the pipes make a lot of noise when shower/bathroom is used in neighbouring rooms. This is not what I would expect from this level of hotel.

The hotel is very quiet, and the bed is big and comfortable. But the room is a little small. The hotel will send some snacks and water every day. But the hotel lobby is relatively small, and only some customers who need to drink and order food can sit in the room below, which is not good.

The decoration of the hotel is great, there are wide stairs in the lobby, and there are waiters to help carry luggage. There is a large crystal lamp in the room, and you can hear classical music playing when you enter the room. There is also a bathtub in the bathroom. On a cold and rainy day in Edinburgh, it is really a great experience to take a hot bath.

I can only say that I love and hate this hotel. I had a bad stay experience. Can you believe I spent 2,700 yuan to book a room in the basement? ! The pictures of the hotel room are seriously inconsistent with the reality. When booking, I noticed that the pictures of ordinary room types may be underground, so I specially booked a room type one level higher (the corresponding pictures on Ctrip also showed normal windows and floors), but when I arrived at the hotel, I was still arranged in the basement. The hotel manager explained that their rooms were not divided into floors, and after all the rooms upstairs were arranged that day, they arranged a room on the ground floor for us. Living underground was really unacceptable, so I had to accept the manager's recommendation and upgrade to a top-floor room for an additional 80 pounds. Environment: As shown in the picture, the view from the upgraded room is really great. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from important attractions such as Princes Street and the Castle. The location is slightly far, but acceptable. Facilities: The room facilities are generally good. The hotel environment is very classic and well maintained. There is a parking lot at the back door, which is quite convenient. Hygiene: It may be that we changed rooms temporarily. After checking in, we found that the bathroom must have been used by someone, and there was also a used razor in the trash can. I wonder if the cleaning staff threw it away... Therefore, if you want to check in, it is recommended to determine the room type and floor in advance.

Stayed very well, relatively quiet... The hotel is small, but the facilities are very good!

The location of the hotel is very good ~ the hotel is clean and comfortable! Afternoon tea is also great~
