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

Loved the quirky building and room decor. Comfy beds and great shower! Little touches, like the bags and chocolate bars helped too. Thanks
Marcia, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Lee, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Grassmarket was a great hotel for our week stay in Edinburgh. Walkable to all attractions and great starting point to explore from. Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable-shared valuable information and always eager to help. Fun pub with live music attached to the hotel. Highly recommend!
Lara, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Grassmarket is the BEST place to get a hotel if you're looking to get into the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. It's right next to the iconic Victoria Street, and there's so many options for eating, drinking, and exploring right when you step outside! The staff is so nice and welcoming, and the bar that's attached is so cool as well!
Laura, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great property in the absolutely best location! No frills, but very clean and nice. Great free coffee in the morning and around the corner from an amazing French bakery.
Beth, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quaint and friendly. Staff were amazingly helpful and understanding. Noisy due to location of pubs surrounding it and underneath the rooms.
Lesley, 12-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Nice property - very convenient to everything in old town. Even on the 1st floor the bar noise wasn’t loud (Thursday and Friday night stay). Great water pressure!
Jaden, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We love the great location. The only thing we have complaint is that the toilet seat cover is very small, it will hurt your bottom
Ye, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great staff, location, room
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Jessica, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The beds were very comfortable and the room had all that we needed. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located in the heart of Edinburgh within walking distance of most everything and bus transportation is just across the street. Wa erly Train station is within walking distance also.
Fay T, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.

Nancy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was fine, but I wish we had been better informed that Buddy Mulligan’s was open until 11 pm - we might behave requested a higher floor.
David, 1-night trip

donald, 2-night trip

It was in a good location for walking to all of the amazing sites of Edinburgh.
Jasmine, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Location, location, location! This hotel’s location seriously can’t be beat. On the corner of the colorful Victoria Street and walking distance to the castle. The grassmarket is a lively area to visit with its pubs and shops.The view of the castle at night is remarkable. If you’re looking for quiet, peaceful nights, though, this might not be the location for you.
