Great location, great friendly staff, convenient route to parking garage (once we figured out which elevator to use after being jet lagged). Room was very clean, had a great view of Calton Hill, wish it was warmer to sit out in the garden (not so much in January) but overall very pleased with hotel. One minor issue with the towel heater not working.

Staff lovely. Very odd hotel in terms of lay out. Front room on the third floor, very noisy and cold. Air conditioning didn’t work and spent the night sleeping in a jumper. Staff were great in trying to fix it. Advised there were no other rooms. The hotel decor is tired and I wouldn’t rush to stay again.

The staff was wonderful & the room very large - BUT, this is not an easy in/out property. There's no parking in front and the overall configuration of the building is very odd - built over an old church. We had to take two elevators (or 1 elevator and 2 flights of stairs) just to get to our rooms. Other than that - it was great.

Room very disappointing. Wobbly toilet seat, Loose arms on both chairs Cupboard door loose Supposed to be a mini bar but ther wasn’t a fridge in the room . Very creaky floorboards. Expected more from a 5 star establishment. Poor service in Snug bar . Waited 45 minutes for a snack . We were told they were short staffed. We expected much more from a 5 star establishment

I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The room was dirty. Bits on the floor when we arrived. Still there 3 days later. The bathroom bin wasn't emptied. The shower was never cleaned - we even left an empty shower bottle on the basket to see if it would be moved. 3 days it was still there. The free drinks in the mini bar - asked to swop them as they were ones we didn't like - told this is all house keeping have. No saucers in the room. the list continues ..... I have had cleaner rooms in a travel lodge.

Very nice hotel
The hotel was very nice, our room was very nice too. I have things to say…. There was a noise which was really annoying it was like a rumbling sound coming I think from the ceiling so above us sounded like trains, or a gym someone on running machine not sure but it was for rather a few hours went off about 12pm we were in room 68 so if I was to return definitely not go in that room. The bathroom needed a make up or shaving mirror, and def needs a socket to charge your mobile near the bed either side?? But the seating around the fire pit in bar area is a fantastic idea, we meet some fantastic people and we met each night for food drinks and great chats they were from USA & Australia we have exchanged contact details on the back of that area so well done Glasshouse - great location too so we will def return…. on this occasion it was our 46th wedding anniversary

We really enjoyed our stay at the Glasshouse. I personally think that there's a cutoff of how good a stay can be for the money you pay, and the Glasshouse is an expensive stay. But, as a treat on our wedding night, we had a great time and it was a lovely treat to sit on the rooftop garden that we've seen so many times from Calton Hill! Thank you again!
