Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Bonham, a unique boutique hotel with character, is ideally located in Edinburgh's quiet West End, a short walk from Princes Street and next to Dean Village. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, some with great views of the Firth of Forth or a nearby church. The breakfast, especially the a la carte options, receives high praise, and the bar is noted for its charming atmosphere; however, some guests have found the beds to be firmer than they prefer.

I found the hotel conveniently located near the tram line. My room was very nice and neat. It was perfect to return to after a day of exploring. The breakfast menu provided fabulous choices, and a continental option was AVAILABLE. Vegetarian options and super waiter service also stood out to me.
I found the bed in my room a bit too hard. I mentioned it to the hotel, and they said adding an extra topper would help.
