A rate that was £60 was cheap....but: VERY small room, dirty, breakfast in a pub (not included). The bathroom was broken....well there were a spider there, and you also had to hold the shower in your hand. The TV was the smallest i ever seen, no remote control, bad conditions for TV. We were extremely worried about how to get... more

We chose the Grassmarket for it's proximity to the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle, as we stayed in peak season the rate was 84 pounds. There were some higher rated hotels for similiar prices but these didn't have the advantage of the location. Upon check in we were told the lift wasn't working and navigated a labyrinth to find our... more

The Grassmarket Hotel in Edinburgh proved to be a true gem that we happened to stumble across while planning a UK vacation. The best part of this hotel had to be the location - it is located literally steps away from Edinburgh Castle, as well as many of the Museums and other attractions to be found in Edinburgh - not... more

We stayed for 2 nights, booked room only. When it comes to the hotel it was not bad . Yes, the rooms are a bit 'tired' but after all this is a 2* hotel so we didn't expect luxury. The pub downstairs was a bit loud at night but at the same time the room was very warm and the... more

We booked this hotel as we were staying in Edinburgh one night - our first trip away as a couple. The reception staff were ok, and let us put our bags in their holding room as we got there prior to being able to check in. We found the room to be nice and large, but a little shabby. The... more

Booked this hotel on price and location, decided we would rather spend our money on wining and dining than on a room for the night...and THEN we read reviews on here, and were dreading it. However we found it to be very acceptable, firstly check in was friendly and desk was always manned when we came in or out. Maybe... more

My wife and I stayed at the Grassmarket for five nights while we toured around Scotland this past October and I have to say it was by far the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Now we’ve stayed at some bad places (been to Europe eight times) as we go for cost and location over ritz but the location was... more

We are six ladies from Yorkshire and stayed at the Grassmarket hotel the weekend of 4th-6th Oct 2008. I had read some bad reviews about this hotel after I had booked it so I was a little apprehensive. We arrived in Edinburgh an hour late after a flight from hell with flybe, the weather being so bad we couldnt land... more

We stayed at this hotel because it was cheap, it was where our friends were staying and it was easy. Price-wise you can't complain really, the rooms are shabby and it's a bit higgledy piggledy inside but overall you're located in central edinburgh where it's all happening and frankly if all you need is a place to lay your head... more
