The Bonham Hotel

Greeted upon arrival & the experience never stopped while we were there. We opened our door to an immaculately appointed room with soft music playing. With no AC, they provided a quiet fan to use & it was more than adequate for the temperatures. The staff at every part of the hotel including the restaurant were courteous & professional. The food in the restaurant was excellent as well. We had our first taste of haggis & sticky pudding. I do recommend the sticky pudding. Overall, it was a most excellent experience for us. We highly recommend that you stay here.

The hotel was lovely, well appointed and steeped in history. The location for us, was great and we were treated very well with excellent service. The only thing of note is that the room was a bit tight after we travelled 7 days on a hiking tour in the Highlands. But the room was well appointed and quite clean.

On our travels through Ireland and Scotland, this was by far our favorite hotel. A rare mix of a boutique historic feeling hotel with all the amenities. Great location, beautiful spacious room with wonderful views, great meals and outstanding service. We stayed three nights and our only regret is we had to head home to the US and couldn't stay longer.

We enjoyed our stay at the Bonham quite a bit. The breakfast was very good, the hotel rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the staff were attentive and helpful. We were impressed by the sound proofing considering if you were walking on the street you could hear the ACDC concert at a nearby stadium but we heard zero noise in our rooms. It was an easy walk to many of Edinburgh landmarks in the Old Town and fringe festival gatherings. Very convenient and highly recommend!

The staff in this hotel are thieves!||We stayed in room 100. On the day of check-out, we found a small slip of paper on the floor with handwritten notes calculating our cash. We didn’t think much of it at the time and simply threw it away. Only after returning home did we discover that $1,000 was missing from our backpack, even though we had never opened that cash during our stay.||||The in-room safe was not working. Even after five attempts it showed only an error, so we had no choice but to keep all our valuables in our personal belongings. We reported the theft to the hotel and asked for an investigation. However, the hotel responded that apart from their own staff — a room attendant and the head housekeeper — nobody had entered our room. To me, it is obvious that the housekeepers were responsible for the theft.||||I find such behavior from staff absolutely unacceptable for a hotel of this level. Even worse, I find it unacceptable that the management did not consider it necessary to properly investigate the situation. We will never stay in this hotel again. This hotel damages the reputation of the country in which it operates.

For the Edinburgh leg of our Scotland tour, my husband and I are staying at the Bonham. The hotel is beautiful and our room is very comfortable.Be aware there is no air conditioning, but they do provide Dyson fan that worked perfectly to keep our room a comfortable temperature. There is something I can't put my finger on that feels a little off about the staff both in the hotel and the restaurant - like good service is forced - however, the service we received is definitely acceptable. I would definitely stay here again when (noticed I said when and not if) I come back to this beautiful country!

Beautiful, historic hotel in a wonderful residential neighborhood. All interactions with staff were exceptionally positive and rooms were comfortable and soothing after a long day touring the city. Wish we could have spent more time during our short stay enjoying the peaceful and elegant setting. We look forward to our next stay!

We stayed here the night before we returned home and it was a lovely way to end two weeks in Scotland. The hotel is gorgeous and very comfortable. Every staff member was attentive and super helpful. The value of the room was also fantastic considering it is a luxury hotel. While we LOVED spending our first few days staying in the Old Town, staying in the New Town was a nice, alternative. We would happily stay here again!

A lovely hotel! My mother and I stayed here for two nights while visiting Scotland and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is a great distance from Dean Village which is a beautiful place to visit along with the Art gallery which was sadly closed during our visit. Their breakfast was delicious, just as their afternoon tea was, with many wonderful vegan and vegetarian options. The service was lovely for our entire stay. And the staff was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were gorgeous and ours had a wonderful view of the city. A great hotel option while visiting Scotland!

We stayed at the Bonham Hotel our first night in Scotland, 09/13/22. After a hectic day flying then dealing with Eidinburgh road closures we were finally able to get the hotel after dining at the harbor and hiking Arthur's walk. Conveniently located in Edinburgh's west end, this posh, art-filled hotel is an 8-minute walk from the bars, brasseries and boutiques on George Street, and an 11-minute walk from Haymarket train station. This hotel offers friendly service, elegant dining and comfortable rooms. However, much to our disappointment we were assigned a basement level room without reasons. While this room was comfortable and clean, it would not have been my first choice. We should have at least been given a reason as to why a basement level room was the best option at check-in. Hence this is the only reason I am not eating this hotel a 5.

We loved our stay at The Bonham Hotel. It can be found in a rather inconspicuous location and I was apprehensive when our driver dropped us off but all my fears were quelled when we walked into the lobby. This is a beautiful boutique hotel located in a quieter part of town but walking distance to all of the popular Edinburgh landmarks. The decor is stunning, made up of awesome furniture and beautiful paintings that look like they belong in a museum and even the light fixtures were gorgeous. The rooms had a lot of modern features while giving off a cozy vibe. They were a tad small but I think that's common in Europe. My room had a beautiful view of Dean's Bridge. The bathroom was spacious and I really liked the amenities. The breakfast options were all very tasty as were the room service options. Also, they were very quick to bring out your food, something I never see in America. The staff were friendly and super helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Lovely. Simply lovely. This hotel located in the West End of New Town in Edinburgh, is in a historic row of town homes located across from a private park. From the moment you pull open the large front door- you will feel that you must be staying at a posh friend's home. The front desk staff is personable and friendly and for this tired traveler who arrived at 10am in the morning- I was thrilled that they had acknowledged my early check in request which meant my room was ready and I could grab a couple of hours of sleep before heading out to take a look around. Now while all rooms are not as opulent as the suite I had, they are also nicely appointed. My suite had a bedroom that overlooked the park, there was an attached private sitting room and large bath with a footed tub and shower complete with body sprays. The 15 foot ceilings soared above me and allowed for a magnificent canopied bed to be the centerpiece of the room. The bed was a dream to sleep in . . .thick duvet, with personal robes and slippers and even a throw if you wanted to sit on the couch and read. There was even a full sized ironing board, iron and a very good hair dryer. Internet access if free but you will have to ask for a code at the front desk. Breakfast is included in your room rate each day. You have a choice of a buffet or hot breakfast and the food and service is quite good. There is also a small bar area off of the lounge which is open for afternoon tea or a glass of wine before bed. But since they are so accommodating- my favorite place to sit was in the main lobby by the windows sipping a glass of wine and sharing a dessert. The staff is happy to help you no matter where you sit. The Bonham is within walking distance of all of the sights of Edinburgh and since it is in the New Town, also has many restaurants around it that are not full of tourists but good places to meet and hang out with the locals. And it's only about 20 minutes from the airport. If you are going to be in Edinburgh for business or pleasure- check out The Bonham. It was a delight to stay here!

Very cute hotel. Room was perfect and bathroom superbe. Hot water so hot and strong power. Bar is good and bartender very professional. Reception and service good.

We had our work Christmas lunch here and it was fantastic. We pre-ordered our meals which really helped me as I am vegetarian and it allowed me to check all the ingredients with the chef before the day. For example the risotto had Parmesan cheese in it, so they make me a pumpkin risotto with veggie friendly cheese. They even sourced a veggie friendly wine which was awesome. Great service and food. We then moved through to the bar for drinks. It was such a great atmosphere with the fire going and the Christmas decorations up. Top notch, loved it.

Comfortable boutique hotel. Good breakfast. Kevin at front desk is wonderful. Spot on restaurant reservation. Ian at the front desk should not be in the service industry. Telling a customer, "I'm sorry you feel that way" does not solve a problem. It's a service industry way of saying, "I don't care". Beautiful view from our room. Bed a bit hard and sheets not soft.

Located in old Georgian houses just off the West End. Nice welcome lovely room on 4th floor with gorgeous views of the Firth of Forth. Comfortable lounge. A short walk from Haymarket Station and onto Princess Street

Am I glad I bought the voucher for an afternoon tea at the Bonham Hotel in New Town! It was a dull day, but this cannot be said from the lovely afternoon tea served at the Bonham. We were the first guests to arrive after booking a week in advance. The man on the other side of the telephone was notably polite. The lady at the reception welcomed us and lead us to another area. The bar and lounge were transformed in a comfortable afternoon tea with a working fireplace. Typical old Scottish style interior design. Just lovely. We were able to chose any kind of tea from a menu (even coffee) and the hot water refill kept coming. First drink served was the Strawberry and Tasmanian Peppers Kir Royal in very stylish and heavy champagne glasses. There was lot of champagne in the glass and nothing was spared! Then came the trier with little finger sandwiches (salmon, egg, tuna, cheese.....) - lots of them - as well as Gateau opera ,Lemon Tart, Macaroons (Bonham specialty) and Mini Sweet Treats. There was nothing I did not like. Even the Penna cotta treats were tasting delightful. The service was formal and without fault, explicit manners. What can I say, I will definitely be back for another afternoon tea during the long winter months.

a beautiful boutique hotel across from a gated park in an elegant accessible part of Edinburgh. The hotel restored from three historic now integrated townhouses is simply gorgeous with attractive antiques from rugs to draperies to comfortable chairs. The bathrooms are large and modern with fluffy towels and quality soaps and beyond. The dining room is homelike and the menu is exceptional - the best salmon anywhere for dinner. Breakfast is fresh with eggs and bread and more. The staff is not only attentive but very knowledgeable about the city of Edinburgh and Scotland in depth. A memorable and beautiful experience -perfect in every way Recommended to stay for tea

I originally rated this place as 5 stars for their afternoon tea (itison voucher). My second afternoon tea experience here just didn't live up to my high expectations though. I did wonder if they'd let their high standards slip given the huge success of the vouchers. Yes they have! :( Small niggles.....: 1/ why bother asking someone at the point of booking if there are any dietary requirements if they then ignore the 'no fish please' request and add salmon sandwiches to the plate?!? 2/ scones were overbaked, just edging over slightly on the side of burnt. There is NO WAY a quality kitchen should have let these go out. The scone is the central part of any afternoon tea so if they can't get that right..... 3/ don't tell someone you're fully booked if you're not! We sat in the bar area ourselves with no music the whole time and it was only as we were finishing that another party came in. 4/ chocolate cup cakes were again overbaked! All in all, disappointing. I won't buy another voucher for here again. There is no excuse not to keep the standards high in a place like this. With sooooo many places doing afternoon tea now in edinburgh you need amazing quality to stand out. I originally thought this place one of the best teas in Edinburgh but I fully retract that now. Shoddy. **Grumpy Laura**

I recently attended the Bonham Bubbles event here which showcased the hotel and restaurant's collaboration with Piper-Heidsieck champagne. - For just £50 you are treated either to a three course meal or afternoon tea, both with unlimited Piper champagne! With a duration time of 2.5 hours, that's a whole lot of bubbles! Piper-Heidsieck and the Bonham exude glamour in equal amounts and I can't think of a better pairing for a luxurious afternoon of lunch or afternoon tea. Considering the quality of the food and champagne along with the beautiful Bonham surroundings, I'd say that it'd be worth every penny for a special treat. Lunch was perfect in every sense of the word. From the carrot and star anise soup with ricotta and coriander gnocchi to the chicken with summer truffles, wild asparagus and girolles mushroom. - Delectable! Finally, a lick-your-lips praline chocolate brownie that I wish I could savour for an eternity. Served with a scoop of Madagascan vanilla ice cream, this was a one-way trip to dessert heaven and a truly delicious way to end the afternoon. All in all, a memorable lunch that'll be hanging on my tastebuds for a while yet. I just had to write a review for the Bonham after the event because it was such a delight to spend time there and every bite of every dish was heaven-sent. If I was that bit closer to the Bonham and my impoverished post-student-life bank balance would stretch as far to dine here...Why, I'd be there in a heartbeat!

Surely purveyors of Edinburgh's current best dinner deal? £20 per head for 3 courses plus half a bottle of house wine each strikes me as being very good. Ideally I'd award 4 & a half stars as my only minor issues with the place were no obvious restaurant staff in sight when we first arrived and the veg with our main courses was over-salted. The service, fish, meat & desserts were all excellent, the wine very drinkable and the overall ambience very relaxed. Seldom am I of a mind to have a dessert wine but was certainly in the mood this night with such a winning combination of other elements.

A nice room at a premium price, so it's what you would expect really. The quality of the food is what let this place down. I am pretty sure at breakfast I got 3 (count them!) mushrooms. The ceasar salad I ordered from room service was pretty slimy while the soup was very bland (and again hardly any bread). The gym is also pretty antiquated, thoguh I suppose its good they've wedged one in.

i went to the Bonham for an anniversary meal and it was pretty good. The decor was modern and luxurious and the staff attentive without being pushy. The food was good, although was a touch over seasoned in my opinion. I would probably go back again

I was invited out by a friend to dinner at the restaurant at The Bonham. The hotel is located in a series of old Victorian houses in the west end. It's off the main road so is quite but it is easy to get to. I was expecting good food and excellent service and I was not disappointed. The waiting staff were very pleasant and the food just melted in the mouth. We weren't upset by the price either as it was very reasonable for the quality of food and the service. I'll definatly go back again.

Lunch at bonham's was a very good experience. Quality of food was excellent, service good and nice relaxing environment. A little bit pricey for the house wine, but otherwise perfect!
