The Bonham, hotel in Edinburgh

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

Very helpful staff when we arrived too early to check in. The period building was lovely, with a lounge, library and bar, and a huge dining room. The breakfast had lots of choice - a buffet table with cereals, cheese/ham, pastries, fresh bread and Prosecco! And there was a hot menu too. The room was warm, with a big bed and TV, a fantastic shower and toiletries, and lovely views.

    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!!

    Beautiful find so close to Edinburgh centre. Close to shops, restaurants and public transport, and a quick walk to the National Museum of Scotland where we lost ourselves for a whole day. The facilities were comfortable and perfect for a weekend trip with my two young daughters.
