History of the hotel
The buildings the Bonham Hotel now occupy have a fascinating history dating back to the mid-19th century and were originally constructed as 3 separate townhouses in 1872. The houses were occupied by well to do families and their servants for the next 60 years, enjoying the privacy of Drumsheugh Gardens and the ease of access to everything Edinburgh had to offer.
In 1939 the houses were sold and became collectively known as the "Private Clinic", a private medical practice specialising in maternity care. Over the next 12 years many hundreds of babies were born on the premises, now fondly known as "Bonham Babies" when they come to visit.

We booked this for a sixtieth birthday trip to the opera with my daughter. We had a lovely dinner on first night, and a reasonable breakfast the next day. We were advised when we arrived that breakfast was served until half past ten but the second day ( Monday) this changes to 10- so we missed our Scottish breakfast- nobody except me was much bothered!
The hotel is clean and comfortable, but it is lacking atmosphere- perhaps a little stuffy- It felt a little like a middle class establishment in the 1950s. lacking facilities one expects these days- no spa, no gym. However, most people are out most of the day seeing the city.
Staff are pleasant but not friendly. And if you don't watch out you may miss your breakfast!
Gem in Edinburgh
Chose this hotel for short break in Edinburgh. Ideally located close to town. Excellent spacious room. Staff all friendly and helpful. Breakfasts and dinner excellent with good variety menu. Would definitely stay again if visiting Edinburgh.
The Bonham Edinburgh
A beautiful building with fantastic rooms and friendly staff.
Short Break
The room was excellent, the food good. The hotel was undergoing some renovation which caused a minor deviation on way to the restaurant but this was no real issue.
Staff were friendly and generally helpful tho' we did have to wait almost an hour for dinner one night.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay.
A wonderful surprise
My wife and I holiday in Edinburgh each year to celebrate her birthday. This year we had an overnight in the Bonham and I can honestly say it was the best hotel experience we have had in all our years visiting Edinburgh. The staff were wonderful, especially the restaurant staff. We felt somewhat out of place surrounded by such a beautiful hotel in our casual gear which we wear for spending the day trekking around Edinburgh during the cold month of February but the staff were very gracious and made us to feel very welcome.
The room was exceptional and I really have nothing more to add to my assessment of it. Exceptional.
Our stay at the Bonham.
This was our first visit to Edinburgh so I wanted to book somewhere special , luckily I choose the Bonham , everything was totally perfect.
OPL does it again.
OPL repeatedly offers the very best of hotels for great prices. The Bonham had been newly decorated and was absolutely flawless. The attention to detail in the room and furnishings was exceptional. Restaurant was lovely and breakfast had a great choice. Apart from the was a perfect break.
