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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not accessible had to take elevator and then two flights of stairs with two large suitcases. Nice location but room was small, cramped and very noisy as room was above a pub; also loud inside and you could hear the people in the next room talking and slamming doors. Only a radiator for heat that I found the following day after a freezing evening. Breakfast was very good. The morning staff member, Hoi, was very helpful and made an effort to help find another room. She was also knowledgeable about places to see and assisted us with directions,

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!
