Very friendly and helpful staff in this slightly quirky and comfortable hotel. Great food at the breakfast bar next door. Very convenient location for the old town. Third time visiting and can thoroughly recommend the Grassmarket Hotel.

The location of the hotel is great - very walkable and not far from the Royal Mile and other attractions. The rooms were average, nothing outstanding or terrible about them. Did like that they had a fan but would have liked more privacy in the bathroom. I shared a room with my son and at times felt like the frosted door that didn't close all the way wasn't enough. While all of the staff was friendly, there was one we had some trouble communicating with. She used a lot of words to describe breakfast in a way that still made no sense at the end. Please know your continental breakfast here is not what it means in the US.... it means you pay $15 for a hot breakfast and the other items (fruit, pastries, etc.) are then included at no charge. She let us walk away, only to follow us and tell us we had to pay her instead of the restaurant. Why wouldn't you have told us that when we were standing there? Maybe I am nitpicking, it was just odd. All in all, would stay there again now that I know how things work.

This is an incredible location and I found the staff to be delightful and incredibly helpful. The room was clean although surfaces could use more of wipe down. The building is a little wonky but overall I would def recommend. As a solo traveler I felt very safe. Overall incredibly good experience.

Grass Market hotel is in a great location and with in walking distance to so many sights/shopping/restaurants. You will never run out of things to do! The staff was all super friendly and helpful. But pack light because if your room is on the 2nd or 3rd floor, you will be carrying all your luggage up several flights of stairs!

Great location to the city and walkable from the station. Old but clean property. It was a bit noisy at night, but slept well with earplugs. The breakfast was available only from 8:00. If it was earlier, it would be more convenient to me.

Nae Bad!

Amazing. Cozy quiet room in a five hundred some year old building at the bottom of the Diagon Alley street. Room is new- modern with great amenities. Nice bathroom, comfy bed. A rocket of an hot water kettle. Out the door and in the absolute midst of the Old town scene. Perfect place for walking about and return to the room for a break in between all of the things to see and do here. Three nights here and barely scratched the surface of museums, historic walks, gardens, side trips, foods, all the things! Can’t see a better place to stay if you’re coming to Edinburgh to see the sights. Solo low maintenance very active female traveler.
