Cheryl, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The location of the hotel is excellent for exploring the Old Town. The room was very clean, a little noisy at night, you are above a pub. (The hotel do provide ear plugs!) Room size was cozy but with everything we needed. Staff were great. Breakfast next door was yummy!. Will see definitely be back.

Front desk staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful.
Sunny, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fantastic location. Desk staff friendly and very helpful. “Snug” room was very tiny. Lift only went to 1st floor and you walked up steps from there. The hotel itself was pretty average, but it It was more affordable than other hotels in area, so I’d consider it again based primarily on location.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Amazing

Our 3 night stay at the Grassmarket was outstanding! The location was excellent - we were able to walk everywhere. Each and every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. If I am in Old Town Edinburgh again, I will stay at the Grassmarket.
Linda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay so much from the very beginning to the end. The hotel provided great amenities and welcome gifts! Hotel staff was friendly and perfect location
Vu, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Mary, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly staff and a nice room. A bit noisy as located above a pub but all in all a good location. Beds were comfortable, size alright for a shorter stay. Cleaning service forgot to hand out towels - but mistakes will happen. We recommend this place!
