Great hotel and great service but a warning about the life being out of action when we booked would have been good.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Bonham! The staff were all excellent, very attentive, polite and helpful. The room was lovely, clean and incredibly comfortable. The hotel itself is in a great location, within a 10 minute walk of the bottom of Princes Street. I would definitely stay here again

A truly exceptional stay
One of my favourite hotels in Edinburgh. The Bonham is always exceptional whenever I stay from the arrival, you’re always made to feel so welcome. The hotel itself is absolutely spotless and the staff are organised beyond efficiency. The rooms have everything you need and the extras make the stay even more special. The dining and bar facilities are always wonderful and the staff on hand to help with anything. I cannot recommend the Bonhan enough.

We had a view of Dean Village from our room. The furniture in the room, the bar and living rooms is very lavish. Cleanliness is excellent. The washroom has heated floors and heated towel hangers. The bartender was so nice to us, he recommended drinks to try and he was on point. They kept our luggage even after we checked out so we could explore the area on foot a bit more. The hotel is only a few minutes of walk from St-Mary’s Cathedral and from the Water of Leith. By far the best hotel I have ever been too. We wish we could have stayed longer.

This hotel is a gem. The combination of the original architecture ( not built as a hotel) and the private ownership of the hotel (not a chain) result in a feeling of beauty, attentiveness and relaxation. The staff were all excellent- quite helpful. I highly recommend the Bonham on your stay to Edinburgh.

The hotel rooms are clean and comfortable with a decent amount of space. The hotel was quiet and the staff were extremely accommodating. The breakfast is top notch. There is something for everyone and staff are super eager to cater to allergies and special diets. The hotel is beautifully designed for an authentic experience that compliments the city.

Our room was in the hotel basement. Subterranean. Classified as a Garden View Superior King, we were astonished if not stupefied to discover that our room was below street level — allowing us to see pedestrians’ legs close up. What’s more, the bathroom would only accommodate one adult at a time — and the closet space was so minuscule that we couldn’t unpack. The room safe was inconveniently located on a high shelf in the closet, which we couldn’t reach without a chair. We paid approximately USD 500 for the room, fortunately for one night only. The room bore absolutely no resemblance to the garden view rooms showcased on their website. We felt utterly deceived. There was even a maintenance guy literally working right outside our window while we were getting dressed. I am a Japanese national and made the reservation in my name and I can only deduce that the hotel, as they allocated the superior kings from best to worst, gave us the basement — after all, “I’ll not complain”……but I did. To no avail. The front desk staff were at best ambivalent, at worst condescending. We never heard from the manager and there was no effort to recover. Nothing. The only other alternative room was a SUITE by paying a signifucant difference.

Really enjoyed the gin and whiskey selection at the bar. Also enjoyed the tea and cookie selection in the room, which was topped up daily. We arrived for check in early and our room was ready so that was a wonderful stroke of luck after a long flight too. Would totally return if our travels take us through Edinburgh again!

The Bonham Hotel is really beautiful, and we loved the quiet location, away from all the noise and crowds. All of the common areas, the artwork and the furniture are exceptionally nice. If we had not been so busy visiting various tourist attractions, it would have been great to just relax and read in the beautiful library. The staff was friendly and helpful, and our room was quiet and comfortable. The Nespresso machine was an added benefit that we used every morning. We will definitely stay here if we return to Edinburgh.

The Bonham is a nice place. Just a tad further away from the Royal Mile than I’d prefer, but still within walking distance.
