Located in the centre of Edinburgh, just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Mile and 650 yards of The Real Mary King's Close, Market Street forms part of Edinburgh’s historic skyline.

The hotel was spotlessly clean with a luxurious feel throughout. Staff very professional and pleasant. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was really first class. Breakfast was really excellent. Hotel is ideally situated between old and new towns. Great for exploring both.

The glamorous Rutland Hotel has stylish rooms, a luxurious late-lounge, and a unique restaurant with a glass wine cellar.

The girls on reception Stacie and the American lady - sorry we didn’t get her name - they saw we had our elderly mother with us and offered us alternative accommodation as there are no lifts to the apartments. Well done ladies for the excellent hospitality. Centre of town and just lovely accommodation Real milk supplied in room. Restaurant downstairs again with lovely staff

Situated in Edinburgh's West End, The Bonham Hotel is a Victorian town house. Majority of the bedrooms have a city view.

Exceptional breakfast choice and quality, in a lovely setting. The room quality, including bed and everything on it, luxurious and tasteful. Staff were very welcoming, professional and personable. I appreciated the service of bringing my luggage to the room at check in, whilst I was out and about. Also, I was given complimentary glasses of fizz that I would've taken advantage of, if not a tea-totaller.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days.

    Very good venue - to see it all would take days. Best advice is to pick a section and really look at it - gives you an excuse for a return trip to Edinburgh to see another bit of the museum, along with all the other atractions.

    Do not miss this place!

    Do not miss this place! It is huge and we could have spent all day there. An incredibly beautiful building. It was quite overwhelming at first to know where to start as there isn’t a route as such to follow. It was very busy and crowded in some areas and empty in others. Impossible to sit down in the cafe as it was so busy but there are lots of seats fitted around if you need a break. We almost missed it but there is a roof terrace which is well worth a visit with super views of the city. And it’s free!!!! But there are donation stations for making your own choice of what to give. A duper super place!!

    The apartment was a great base for us to explore the city of Edinburgh, and was in a quiet area whilst also close to some great restaurants along with various pubs and convenience stores. The Royal Mile, National Museum of Scotland, and Arthur's Seat were all within a walkable distance. The apartment itself was modern and very clean. The owner was contactable and responded to any queries we had to help make sure we had a great stay.
