Grassmarket Hotel was wonderful. The location was very convenient and the restaurants in the area were terrific. My only negative comment would be the slippery shower floor. I would come again and would recommend it to other people.

Incredible staff and even better location. We were a little hesitant when we learned at check in that our room was directly above a pub that didn’t close until am, but, honestly, you would never know you were even remotely close to a pub, let alone directly above one. Room decoration was neat. The room and bedding were very clean. Definitely book here!

Location of the property is excellent within walkable distance to popular sightseeing and in the shopping strips. Hotel providing free flow of coffee/tea, cappuccino, latte and hot water facilities are very good. Our room with reasonable size and very clean nice bathroom. However property lobby is very small looks more like a 2 stars hotel impression.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The location is excellent, the room is tiny but well appointed. Comfortable bed. The hotel itself is in the old building, I had to walk a very long way before reaching the bedroom, including with two flights of stairs (elevator doesn’t reach there), so this won’t work for people with small children or walking difficulties. There’s a pub next door which can get noisy in the evenings.

I stay here every time I'm in Edinburgh. It's a quirky fun hotel, the rooms are tiny, and getting to the rooms is sometimes like being in a maze. It's a very cool little place right in the heart of old town, walkable to everything.
