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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property was centrally located so super accessible to anywhere you wanted to go. However very loud at night. we managed to be put in one of the only couple rooms with no elevator access and they told us through a hallway with a couple stairs as if it was not a lot but then there was two extra flight not mentioned. The room itself was clean but the bathroom smelled like mold and mildew and it had a previous guests hair stuck to the shower walls. Check in and check out were easy.

Central location. Clean. Great staff. Nice creative vibe in the hotel. Complimentary hot beverages in lobby which was nice. Musty smell in the bathroom and no hot water…only lukewarm . ( Asked staff and he said he was not a plumber so not sure anything could be done)

Perfect location. Clean rooms and nice bedding. Room was very small but met my needs. However, the maze of the hallways and up and down stairs (no elevator) was insane. Had I known, I would have booked a room on the first floor. I was very thankful the staff helped with luggage and navigating the maze to my room. The rates were very expensive for what it was. But I’m realizing hotel rates in Edinburgh are high.

Unfortunately, I was assigned to Room 310 because all the rooms before Room 310 would have elevators! I need to walk many turns and climb many stairs to reach my room！ In addition , I'm also very dissatisfied with the toilet! It takes a long time to get hot water when taking a shower! The structure of the faucet and sink in the hand-washing area ensures that water splashes all over the floor every time you use water
