A short walk from both Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and York Place Tram Stop, it features an amazing 2-acre roof garden with views over Calton Hill. Each bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, with views of the roof terrace or over Edinburgh city center. Luxurious touches include a flat-screen TV, Nespresso coffee maker, an iPod docking station, a free newspaper and Highland Aromatics toiletries in the bathroom.

Excellent location, great staff, and comfortable rooms. Easy walking to the Scott statue and other places to visit. Also, a small mall is nearby. The mall has two pharmacies. Concierge David gave us excellent recommendations for a hop-on, hop-off bus with live English narration. He also recommended that we take a full trip around, then get off at the first place that interested us. We got off at the National Museum.
While everything in the minibar is included in your room rate, about half the minibar refrigerators, like those in about half the rooms in most hotels, need the refrigerator's doors reversed so they open the same way the door of the cabinet hiding the minibar opens. Reversing the door is about a ten minute job when you are doing dozens of them.

For a hotel of such standing (and price level) the rooms lack decent noise insulation from outside noises

We had the Scottish breakfast this morning. It included black pudding and Haggis. The hotel is on the site of a fromer church. They saved the Facade and built the hotel behind that. It is modern. Breakfast is included if you are a guest. The staff is excellent. David (white hair) was great.
Parking is at the Omni event center next door. You need to book it ahead of time, but you get a 50% discount if you stay at the Glasshouse. You need to provide your license plate number, so, if you rent a car, enter that number when you pickup the car. The gate reads the front plate number and opens. The entrance to the parking lot is on the left and the second or thrid place to turn in. The hotel price is high, but it is very close to the center of town and near a shopping mall. Also, the Edinburgh Fringe was going on, so that boosted the price.

Disappointing
Location is good, room was ok.
Staff weren't helpful, check in at 3pm which already feels late but room was still not ready until 3.35pm, faff at check in with staff who didn't appear to know what she was doing. 5% service charge for what?

The reception staff couldn’t have been more helpful.
The roof garden seems very under utilised for guests. It would be nice to be able to eat there and enjoy drinks.

The location of the property was nice.
This property claims to be a five star property but the bathtub had some kind of stain and it wasn’t told beforehand and wasn’t taken care of despite telling numerous times.
