Very run down hotel. Beds uncomfortable. Our room was over the Irish bar noisy on a week day. This is more like a hostle suitable for young people perhaps on a buget. You can get better accommodation for the same price Breakfast ok in the bar next door. At lunch time they serve good size portions. Great location with excellent... more

We stayed for one night my daughter and i as we were visiting the school of art. I doubt you will find a better location of hotel in Edinburgh for the very economic price. OK so the carpets are a little torn and there are bits of doors needing repair etc but for goodness sake it does not claim to... more

we had a fantastic time at the GrassMarket, yes it is above a pub but this is very clear when you book it so people shouldnt moan about it, and actually for 3 nights we heard hardly anything from the pub. The hotle was lovely and clean, the service was great and I contacted the hotel before to discuss surprise... more

Don't know what people were worried about! We had a beautiful room, great customer service and not once did we hear the pub attach to hotel! Unlike some we did do our research first and found it appropriate for our needs. Central to most things including nice places to eat and easy access to tours and train station! We will... more

Stayed in Grassmarket Hotel during Fringe festival in August 2009 - hence the price over £100/night. When we arrived much to our horror, we found that it was situated directly above the Buddy Milligans Pub which was clearly a busy nightspot playing very loud music. Upon being shown to our room (104) after a long days travelling, we were disgusted... more

after booking this hotel through a cheap deal at the travel agents we then went home and read the review, so i wasnt expecting much. However the receptionist was pleasent (let us keep our bags in a locked room as we arrived early - however the room was a disgrace and filthy) and the room (301) was a delight when... more

Outstanding!

We had read a couple of bad reviews of this hotel online but decided to book anyway because of the great location and price. I have to say, it was nothing like we expected. On arriving outside the hotel it didn't look great, but from the moment we walked in through the door, we were treated to a 5 star... more
