Grassmarket Hotel was wonderful. The location was very convenient and the restaurants in the area were terrific. My only negative comment would be the slippery shower floor. I would come again and would recommend it to other people.

Incredible staff and even better location. We were a little hesitant when we learned at check in that our room was directly above a pub that didn’t close until am, but, honestly, you would never know you were even remotely close to a pub, let alone directly above one. Room decoration was neat. The room and bedding were very clean. Definitely book here!

The room was very small and the shower was very hard to manipulate. The breakfast was fine and generous. The restaurant was not good for dinner as it was dominated by the bar.

Grassmarket was a very cute hotel, Gabby the receptionist when we arrived was fantastic, she was so friendly and helpful. It is in a very fun part of the Grassmarket area and close to the Edinburgh Castle and lots of bars and restaurants. Superior St around the corner has some very cute shops. The room was small however very comfortable. The only issue is the shower floor is VERY slippery, so one has to be very careful not to slip. I would stay there again and recommend the Grassmarket Hotel.
