The Bonham is classic elegance and charm. The facilities have had transitions throughout the years (even was a maternity residence at one time), and now it welcomes visitors from all over the world. The street is close to many attractions, for example, heading to Edinburgh Castle is around fifteen to twenty-minute walk, and the neighborhoods are so pretty. The breakfast is excellent. The one thing we'll point out is that the hotel had a 'lift' (elevator) problem. The floors are steep (the first floor alone is fifty-five-BIG-steps), so our room was ninety-nine-steps up to the fourth floor. Good workout ! What was impressive was watching their dedicated staff place three (3) of our fifty-pound suitcases on their shoulders and hoisting them up the four floors. They were positive and genuinely sweet as they accomplished this task. The owners gave us a few drinks, "on-the-house," to help us with our stair workout, and we considerate and kind. Photos are the views from our fourth-floor hotel room and Edinburgh Castle.

I didn't like that the lift was out and their repair person was taking their time. The hotel was constantly in contact with the repair people and I'm certain they were quite frustrated with the numerous complaints about climbing stairs. (We were only concerned about luggage and felt it a good workout).

Short walk from New Town, lovely authentic charm, good size room , easy parking on property

Initially being put in basement room and being told that the hotel was full!, staff lied or tried to deceive us at first though Booking.com suggested otherwise. Once moved we were very happy, if you want a view don’t accept basement rooms.

We had a wonderful stay at the Bonham Hotel in Edinburgh. The location is perfect—tucked away in a quiet, charming neighborhood, yet still within easy walking distance of the city center. The hotel itself is a beautiful property full of character and history, and our room was incredibly spacious, well-equipped, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic each morning, with a great variety of delicious options, and the staff throughout the hotel were exceptionally friendly and engaging—always ready to help with a smile. We’d definitely recommend the Bonham and would love to return!

The only downside was that our room was located directly below the restaurant, so we could hear some noise from chairs being moved above us, which was a bit disruptive at times. Still, this was a small issue in an otherwise excellent stay.

Beautiful property, comfy beds. Our room was really lovely and overlooked the city. The staff were amazing and spoilt my husband as it was his 70th birthday. We had birthday balloons, chocolates and a glass of bubbly from staff! Breakfast was lovely too, really yummy and in beautiful surroundings. Very peaceful. Absolutely stunning hotel. Also within easy reach of the centre and surrounding area. Perfect location as it was away from the hustle and bustle so it was quiet but then you coujd get to everything with a 10 minute walk! Perfect!

Nothing! It was all wonderful!

The hotel is in a good location, easily walkable to the main attractions and city centre. The room was fully kitted out with radio, coffee machine they even squeezed a desk and table into the small space albeit a bit unnecessarily! Everything you need for a stay was included (iron, shoehorn, clothes brush, toiletries, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, slippers, robe)

Not all rooms have views, the basement room we were allocated was (a bit) disappointing compared to the description of all rooms having a view. The room was small but was fine for one night, but it was really warm due to the radiators being on and no way to turn them off. There was a fan in the room that helped. I am being critical due to the rating of the hotel, I would stay again but request a different room as it was a bit disappointing for the price.

A beautiful period property, oozing charm and sophistication from its many original features. The hotel is perfectly located in the West End district of Edinburgh, close to cafes and bars and within 15 minutes walk of the main tourist sites. It's also well placed for the Stockbridge district with its many attractive streets, crescents and cafes/restaurants and cosy pubs. Ours was an elegant twin-bedded room with a fabulous picture window overlooking the green. Bathroom products and tea/coffee facilities were beyond expectation and very good quality. Friendly, professional staff added a great finishing touch!

A minor point but the window didn't open, so we needed to run the electric fan all night.

The epitomy of elegance. Can't rate this hotel highly enough. Everything about our stay was perfect, from our room upgrade from superior to deluxe, the excellent service from all staff and the quiet location.A leisuely stroll to shopping areas of George Street and Princes Street. Plenty of cafe bistros, array of eateries and bars.Bus stops aplenty less than 5 minutes walk from hotel.Highly recommend eating at No. 35, food is devine. Not far from the many attractions if you wish to walk.Royal mile took us about 25 minutes at a very leisurely pace.A perfect couple of nights.

That I couldn't stay longer!

Perfect location for West End and Castle. Beautiful hotel. Nice Walled Garden bathroom products. Smart staff. Towelling bathrobes lovely. Didn't use slippers. Comfortable clean bed.

Bath towels could do with renewing as a bit grey & rough. Bath had a long hair in it. Brown bits (rust) coming out of taps on every bath. Staff are so intent on getting everything perfect, they've forgotten the most important part, smiling & friendly chatter. Same pillow cases & sheets for 3 nights. Room too warm but turned off radiator & opened windows, much more comfortable. Room 107 is at back of property so unfortunately we had the sound of rubbish disposal early mornings.

Great location; third-floor room was very comfortable with a beautiful view over the Firth of Forth to Fife. The Smart TV, meant I could catch up with Wimbledon in the evening. Shower over the bath is a bit out-dated and awkward for older guests; generous range of shower gels and shampoos.

Stayed here a few times now and the Front of House staff seem to lack any sort of warmth compared to the rest of the hotel staff who seem to be a bit more upbeat and 'guest-centric.' Disappointed that the restaurant was not open on a Wednesday night but enjoyed a light dinner in the bar; breakfast tray was a bit lacking i.e. no plate to put the toast on!

Everything about the hotel was fabulous from the minute we got there the staff were so attentive from opening the door on arrival to carrying bags on our departure. The room was beautiful with coffee machine, tea, hot chocolate, biscuits and chocolates on the pillow. Great bathroom with a powerful shower, plenty of toiletries and bath robes and slippers. Lovely breakfast with plenty of choice both hot and cold food available. We stayed for 3 nights but mid week so were unable to try the restaurant which gives us a perfect excuse to go back again. .

There was nothing we didn't like
