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.

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

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.

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!
