Wedding Day
We have just got back from honeymoon, hence the delay in my writing to you. Would you please pass on my sincere thanks and gratitude to all the staff involved in our wedding function on the 17th. They were all amazing. Emile, Gordon, Debbie and everybody else who's name I did not get. I have written the best report I can on trip advisor but it all seems inadequate to describe how wonderful it all was.

October Wedding
I wanted to reach out and sincerely thank you for everything you and your staff did for our wedding last month. You made the whole process so easy and stress free! The Bonham is truly exceptional and spectacular in every way; J and I, as well as all of our guests, were in awe of how incredible it is! We could not have imagined a more perfect day, and cannot wait to start the tradition of coming back to Edinburgh and specifically The Bonham — it holds a special place in our hearts.

Last Minute Event
Hi Claire! I just got back from our dinner and wanted to send a personal thank you to you and the staff. We all had a lovely time, the food was great, and I just can’t thank you enough for helping in making this happen. I didn’t catch the name of the other person waiting us but I wanted to give a little shout out to Daniel as well as the other waiter for being excellent and on top of everything. I think we will definitely be coming back next year, if you’ll have us!

Hogmanay Wedding
Just wanted to say what an amazing time we had at our wedding. Everything was perfect and the staff were absolutely brilliant, especially Alex and another man (forgotten his name) were so lovely, they went above and beyond to make our day so special and we can’t thank them enough. All our guests have said how attentive the staff were. Our room was lovely and it was great not having to check out until 12pm. A really special day that we won’t forgot. Thanks to you for all your help.

Travel Notes

Travelling by train Edinburgh has two railway stations: Waverley and Haymarket. Waverley is the main station, situated on Princes Street – 1 1/2 miles away and is approximately 10 minutes by taxi to the hotel. Haymarket Station to the west of the city centre is 5 minutes by taxi, half a mile away. Driving from the West and Edinburgh Airport From the M8 Eastbound, take the A8 and after the airport to your left keep in the right lane, then under the underpass. Go straight on at major lights, keeping on this road for approximately 4 miles to a set of traffic lights with Haymarket railway station on the right. After these lights, turn second left at the next lights into Palmerston Place and then second right into Rothesay Place and The Bonham is 150 metres ahead, facing you. Driving from the North Approach Edinburgh on the A90 from The Queensferry Crossing and follow the signs for the City Centre along Queensferry Road. At the Holiday Inn Garden Court Hotel (on the right), take a right fork on the road. Continue straight on at the roundabout through to the next set of traffic lights, and continue as the road bends right. Go over the Dean Bridge and at the next set of traffic lights turn right into Drumsheugh Gardens and right at the gardens. The Hotel is at the end on the right. Driving from the South The A1 will bring you right into Edinburgh’s City Centre. Drive along Queen Street continuing until the end, then bearing right down St Colme Street. Turn right after following Randolph Crescent onto Queensferry Street. Turn left onto Drumsheugh Gardens. The Hotel is at the end on the right. Travelling by tram Edinburgh now has a very efficient and reliable tram line easily connecting the city centre with Edinburgh’s Airport and its train stations. The airport tram stop is situated right outside the main terminal, next to the plaza and Edinburgh sign. Tram stops can also be found just outside Waverley Station (St. Andrews Square) and right in front of Haymarket train station. We advise our guests to drop off at West End tram stop to reach the hotel swiftly and with ease as it is only a few minutes walk away. Travelling by Airlink Travelling to or from the airport could not be easier with Airlink, which provides swift and direct links to Edinburgh City centre with different lines and routes available. All their buses depart from just outside Edinburgh’s Airport main terminal. Tickets for the Airlink 100, taking you straight to the city centre, can be purchased from the driver as you board using contactless card payments or the exact cash change fare. We advise our guests to drop off at Shandwick Place bus stop to reach the hotel swiftly and with ease as it is only a few minutes walk away.
