“Funky, but lovely!”

Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW via mobile

My wife and I enjoyed our three days at the Grassmarket very much. The staff is most helpful, and the location is perfect. There are, indeed, stairs to climb, since the lift only reaches the first floor. The rooms are very recently renovated and clean. Our room was delightfully quiet despite its propinquity to Glassmarket Street, which seems to be... More

very nice staff! very helpful and kind however...this hotel has a quirky layout. Only good for folks who can climb tons of stairs ...not an easy thing to do with a heavy suitcase. NO PHONES in the rooms so if you have a problem you have to navigate the stairs and crazy building layout to the front desk.. One needs... More

“Clean, comfy but a lack of communication has marred the stay.”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 via mobile

We stayed here 9.5.13 for 3 nights. We made the booking for 3 twin rooms and asked for them to be near each other, in February. When we checked in the rooms were on the first, third, and fifth floors. Hardly together. It was a special reunion to celebrate 30 years since we met. As has been said before the... More

Hi Snowdropsy, Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your recent stay with us. Firstly I’d like to apologise for the follow up time to your group’s complaint; when it was passed onto me the receptionist did not make clear that she had promised a next day response but rather that it would be replied to when...

A must see for all, really enjoyed our stay. Cheap, cheerful and convenient!! Pleasant staff and plenty of things in the hotel to keep you entertained if the scottish weather isn't great! Free tea cakes in the room were a huge bonus! :)

Reviewed 13 May 2013

Booked by chance at the eleventh hour, since I'd arrived in Edinburgh having forgotten to book a hotel. My accommodation amnesia turned out to be a blessing in disguise though! Normally accustomed to safe, staid, anodyne chain hotels, this was in complete contrast - in a good way. Excellent location, very friendly welcome, wacky decor, with bedrooms decorated with copies...

Hi FACW2013, Many thanks for your kind review about your stay with us in Edinburgh. I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us in our unique hotel; clearly booking last minute it must have been fate! Hope to see you again soon, Rachel & The Grassmarket Team More

“Perfectly unique”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

I stayed 3 nights at the very, very centrally located Grassmarket Hotel in April, and it was probably my favourite hotel experience in Europe. The Grassmarket is quirky and fun with top notch rooms and facilities. Everything is done in good humour, and the hotel is staffed by helpful young people. The free wifi unfortunately didn't reach my room (single,... More

Stayed one night in a comfy double and although the room was very small it was very cheap for a hotel in the heart of the old town (booked well in advance). The room was very clean and bright. Staff were very pleasant and efficient, comfy bed, great shower, tea coffee and chocolates. The hotel is linked to the bar... More
