Top Grassmarket Hotel Reviews

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"I chose this hotel for the proximity to the Royal Mile. It turned out to be better than expected. I was in Edinburgh during the Fringe festival and I was able to attend the Military Tattoo. I will never forget this trip and Ibis Hotel made everything easier. I couldn’t have asked for a better location. I will definitely be going back."

"The room was like a large hostel room, fit the 6 of us nicely, no frills. Very fun and energetic street/neighborhood, a bit loud at night. Great central location in Old Town."

YOTEL Edinburgh

"clean and well maintained space in a safe neighborhood"

Apex Grassmarket Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Castle view on the 5th floor. Right in the center of everything. We went for the Tatto & had a repeat each night going to sleep hearing bagpipes. Breakfast was great value for the price. Alot of food and convenient to have at hotel. Staff very friendly & helpful"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast option as well as wine/snacks for happy hour."

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lovely room"

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I loved this hotel because we were treated so kindly throughout our entire stay. The staff answered all the questions we had, and no request was too big. We were even allowed to check into our room in the morning when we arrived completely exhausted from a red eye flight. This was hugely appreciated. The hotel is in an old building. Edinburgh is OLD! They have kept it up though and we had a clean modern bathroom with both walk in shower and soaker tub. Nice bath products. We had a mini fridge in our room, and the bath towels and bed linens were lovely. Side tables for the bed and reading lights. The only tiny thing that could be done is to replace the carpet. Ours had stains on it. It wasn’t a huge room but big enough for us and our luggage. We had a quiet room not facing the view of the castle, which we preferred as we kept our windows open. The breakfast was incredible. We could choose from a hot and cold buffet, and we could order a main breakfast item from the menu. There was a coffee machine so we could have cappuccino (and I could get decaf) every morning. Such a treat for us as we never go out for coffee. I would highly recommend staying here. It is also perfectly located to walk the entirety of Old Town and New Town and everything in between. Stay here and you don't need transport (unless you don't like to walk). PS their staff could give a course in hotel hospitality!!!"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific place to stay in Edinburgh. Staff was professional and helpful. Centrally located (though be prepared for the hike up the steps to the Royal Mile! Clean, well-appointed. Champagne to welcome you, too! Highly recommend!"
