My room in the Grassmarket Hotel was pretty small (I booked a single with Travelstay) but it had everything that I needed. The location is great and very central and the staff are very friendly

I love Edinburgh and the Grassmarket! I loved the bar downstairs and I will definitely be back ;-) I found the hotel perfect, probably best not to stay here if you don't like noise, but you should research before you book!

Central but too noisy. Check-in was fast, staff at reception friendly, I think it's basic but okay (if bit over-priced if you ask me)

Grassmarket Hotel was good, there's a bar downstairs so this can probably be a bit noisy (I was out at nights so I did not notice anyway!). It was clean and everybody working there was very friendly. I'm happy with my stay and I think I will stay here again next time even
