First impressions on walking in were... this isn't as bad as people say!!! The receptionist with red hair was the most unhelpful person I have met but all the others were great!! room was fine..... although the bed was broken on one side, and the heating was a radiatior which i did not trust to leave on while we were... more

I am never stay in hotel like this... We stay in room 201 where was very dirty shower, carpet- not hoover and smelly, dusty room... Service- one girl from housekeeping with dark hair was not nice... Terrible!! 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.

Upon being shown to our room (104) after a long days travelling, we were disgusted... more

I was shocked when i arrived at this hotel, receptionist was very helpful was from edinburgh herself so that helped! was in room 401 nice big room clean and great facilities. in a whole the hotel could do with getting a bit updated. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be back. 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

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
