Sink into Elite™ Lily mattresses draped with the finest linens, and pamper yourself in exquisitely designed en-suite bathrooms stocked with Laura Thomas spa products and plush amenities, including fluffy towels, bathrobes and slippers. Additionally, enjoy a selection of award-winning Novus teas, and indulge in the convenience of an OPAL capsule coffee machine stocked with Coffee Conscience compostable coffee pods, ensuring a delightful start to your day.
Guest are able to dine in style at Bonnar’s, where the legacy of Thomas Bonnar comes to life amidst floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking our private garden. Savour a culinary journey produced by our Head Chef, Pier Berretta, who is inspired by Scottish flavours that are impeccably presented in a setting that reflects the elegance of the 18th-century baronial house.
After a day of exploration, unwind in the Velvet Lounge, where specialty Gins, Champagnes and Whiskies await. Let our curated wine list, selected by L’Art Du Vin, elevate your senses as you soak in the ambience of our meticulously restored lounge, brimming with original features and character.

雖然愛丁堡酒店的價格略高,但這間酒店還是令人覺得物有所值。酒店本身的建築就非常漂亮,是個小型的古堡,從進大門到房間處處優雅,無不精緻,大堂裏還24小時供應飲品和水果。
房間不大,傢俱和器材每樣都很精美,而且雖是老房子,裏面毫無“舊”感,氣味清新,隔音效果也不錯。
早餐廳面對花園,對着晨光享用早餐是美好享受,熱食現點現做,保證最佳口感。
位置在校園內,安靜幽雅,靠着哈利路德山,自然環境優越,如果去古城的話有很多公交車,隨時出發很方便。
除了價格有點貴還真是沒什麼毛病,另外,房間還是需要留消費的,接收到提醒了。

The place is quiet and interior is great. Room is very big and there is a tub for bath. Coffee corner is good and free of charge. Reception was nice and introduce the hotel and room to us. Easy to go to Edinburgh city center as the bus stop is just outside the hotel with around 3 mins walk. Would recommend this hotel to others!

英國行最便宜也是最滿意的酒店,在愛丁堡大學裏麪,特別安靜。愛丁堡本身就很小,打車到市中心也就十來分鐘。本來房間是在四樓,我們有倆特別大的箱子,reception給換到了一樓,特別nice。蘇格蘭很多這種建築都沒電梯

The interior design makes the room really dark. And it was disappointing that there is no bath tub in the hotel room given that the weather is cold in Scotland.
