Overall, I would recommend this hotel. It is in a fantastic location in the old town, within a stones throw of the Castle and other key sights, with a good selection of pubs nearby. The hotel was a nice, funky change from your standard chain hotel - the rooms were small but cool and quirky, with everything we needed. The... More

We stayed for a long weekend at the Grassmarket after driving down from a week in Skye. It was lovely to stay in a hotel that was different and quirky, and the location is fantastic. We didn't have any issues with the size of the room, as although small, our bed was massive and we had all of the other... More

Have taken groups of young adults to Edinburgh for many years. Based on some favorable reviews I booked our group of 30 into the Grassmarket for five nights. Fortunately, it met and even exceeded expectations. Our group was extremely satisfied. The hotel has an excellent location just a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The staff... More

Great accomodation for singles or younger "more minimalistic" travellers, e.g. as a starting point to visit nice Edinburgh and surroundings. Perfect for short night sleeping and extensive day-trips. Lots of action, restaurants, pubs and historic sites nearby. First class reception, if you're lucky to meet Pablo at night or Sara during the day: Both 5 stars out of five !!... More

Started terrible because we were booked at their sister hotel a couple of blocks up the street, but when we got there the hotel was closed because of renovation. No one informed us so we had to walk with our luggage to this hotel. The next problem was more ignorance on my part but I couldn't figure out how to... More

We stayed here during the bank holiday weekend. All in all the experience was good. The hotel is right next to some bars and pubs which get really busy on weekends. Our room was facing this way and the noise did wake us up an couple of times a night. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was... More

The Grassmarket Hotel website looked promising, but quite a different story in real life. Other than the location, I can't give cudos to anything much in this hotel. We booked a comfy double room and after we spent what felt like hours going up one floor on the elevator, short stairs ways, narrow hallways, doors, a complete flight of stairs... More

We loved the whole place, from the friendly, informal atmosphere in the lobby, to the chalkboard walls in our room. Staff was cordial and knowledgable about the area, particularly Sarah. Staying in Old Town gave us easy access to Edinburgh's historic and cultural sites, authentic Scottish food and drink and, of course, the "castle outside our window". I highly recommend... More

Individual style - very cool graphic design through out, modern and cool amenities great central location - comfy bed, lovely reception area - special mention to Sarah who was lovely and conscientious - I would recommend any of my friends or people reading this to stay here. Amazing value for... More
