What a fantastic hotel with very friendly and efficient staff.
The "porter" who is named William is a character. Friendly, helpful, jovial, cheerful, and always ready with a quip when it is called for.
He made the hotel and vacation for us as it was always a pleasure to talk with him at all times.
We had a suite and it was sheer luxury on par with the Nagresco in Nice and THAT is some claim to fame!
Heated floor tiles, a shower that would hold 4, a lovely sized bath, beautiful views and walks across the roof garden, everything was to a high and exacting standard.
Our suite wall was all glass to the roof gardens and with an easy access door, made for a pleasant stroll out there too.
Surrounded by excellent eating places there is no need for this hotel to do any more than offer bed and breakfast, but room service did indeed provide so much more.
The honesty bar made a change and was well supported by the guests.
A £4 taxi fare to the Castle and the Old Royal Mile meant those who did not feel like the walk could travel at reasonable rates.
Princess Street was only a 5 minute stroll.
Car parking was next door in a secure underground car park and with the 30% discount from the Glasshouse, my 6 days secure (CCTV) parking cost only £45. A bargain indeed.
All in all a superb hotel for your break in Edinburgh.
I SHALL RETURN.

We spent three nights here and it was a great experience. The staff are polite and helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble when you are their guest. The lounge area with real flame effect fire was the perfect place to retire to after seeing Carmen (next door at the playhouse).
The 'honesty' bar provided in the lounge gives it the feel of a private club, rather than an anonymous hotel rest area. Quality furniture, smooth cotton sheets, massive comfy bed and wall mounted flat screen TV provide a luxury den from which to explore the centre of Edinburgh. The location meant that we didn't drive or use a taxi over the three day stay, and that is a luxury in itself. We'll be back.

The hotel is very comfortable and the staff very attentive - but the Hotel is situated in very close proximity to a number of night clubs. Accordingly, if you value a good nights sleep - stay elsewhere.
