This hotel was the perfect location for our first trip to Edinburgh as it was centrally located in the Old Town. All the staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The only hiccup we had was they had turned on the heat for the season and because our first few days were unseasonably warm it made the room super uncomfortable. It also didn’t help that the windows barely opened although the concise staff did give us an extra fan. Also if you’re a light sleeper keep in mind that the pub below can get a little rowdy on weekends into the wee hours.

The hotel was great! Rooms were large and comfortable. Bathroom was gorgeous. Staff were wonderful and very helpful (got us a cab). Restaurant next door had fantastic food. Location was great - lots of restaurants and shops In the city center of Old Town, just a few blocks from the Castle and other attractions. Town square has a Saturday market which was a delighter. When making a reservations, be sure to ask for a room that is accessible by elevator!!!

The room was very small and the shower was very hard to manipulate. The breakfast was fine and generous. The restaurant was not good for dinner as it was dominated by the bar.

Grassmarket was a very cute hotel, Gabby the receptionist when we arrived was fantastic, she was so friendly and helpful. It is in a very fun part of the Grassmarket area and close to the Edinburgh Castle and lots of bars and restaurants. Superior St around the corner has some very cute shops. The room was small however very comfortable. The only issue is the shower floor is VERY slippery, so one has to be very careful not to slip. I would stay there again and recommend the Grassmarket Hotel.
