Grassmarket hotel - Edinburgh

The internet did not work and had we known that would not have stayed. The neighborhood was at a convenient location, close to everything. The floor in the bathroom was 'soft' and felt as if you put much weight on it, you would fall through. The hotel staff were friendly and very nice.

The rooms were very small and the decor was dated and as it is a very old building the access to the rooms was not good. This is more like a hostel than a hotel

I was very pleased with the location and quality of this hotel. There was construction, and it did impact the community hallways; but the price more than made up for the mild inconvenience. Highly recommend!

We stayed at the grass market hotel for 3 nights, the first night was horrendous, the room was dirty, very dated, no views and very dark. We asked if we could be moved and they couldn't of been nicer, we were moved to one of the refurbished ones. It was lovely, quirky wall paper, clean, modern, excellent veiws, over all very cool. Defo stay there again. […] All the staff were lovely and I would defo recomend staying there. Ďalšie informácie

The hotel is situated brilliantly, next to a pub that you can enter after closing time through the hotel, where also the breakfast (very fine btw) is served. In the middle of the medieval town. The personnel is super friendly and willing to answer all your questions. Especially Lizzy needs to be mentioned here, thank you. I would recommend it highly […] if you don't mind the sober but clean rooms. The bathroom is the same, simple but sufficient. Ďalšie informácie

There was supposed to be a kettle in the room but it was missing. There were teabags, coffee, sugar sweeteners but a kettle. Must have been an oversight I hope. On the bright side, I wanted an iron and i got one brough t to my room. I hope they can replace the iron table cover as it was rather tacky!

The staff were excellent. Very Helpful. The hotel looks very tired. Needs abit of maintence. i.e. heated towel rail not working. Lamp shade broken. Space for hairdryer but no hairdryer. No fan in bathroom. Shower not working too well. It is a low star rating and I can understand why. Saying all that I would go back there. Very convenient for us. We […] are blue badge holders and there was parking very near. Ďalšie informácie

This hotel is centrally located amongst many of the tourist spots. It is old and quaint - which means some of the fixtures, etc. are in need of some repair. The internet is only available in the lobby and wasn't working at all while I was there for 4 nights. I did find my room door ajar, because the housekeeper wasn't careful, when I returned at the […] end of one of the days, so be careful with valuables. I suppose this kind of thing is to be expected so my only real criticism is that they forgot to give me a wakeup call on my last day which (had I not also set an alarm clock) would have made me late for my plane. But in spite of it all, it does give you the local flavor of this wonderful city. Ďalšie informácie

Right in the heart of Edinburgh.... If you are one that basically only uses the hotel to sleep in then this is perfect, otherwise you may find it a bit small and the wifi did not work whilst we were here.

had a very good time. staff made us feel very welcome. room was very clean, would stay here again, looking forword to my next stay......

Stayed in this hotel for new years. Great location. Great staff. Perfect room.

Friendly, helpful receptionist. Clean, comfortable room. Competitively priced rate. I would recommend this hotel to others and would use again myself.

hotel excellant value given its central location close to castle and excellent restuarants. But avoid opting for optional breakfast the worse full scottish breakfast experianced quantity but no quality served as a crowded plate of mush.

Conveniently situated and a warm welcome on arrival. Quiet and an excellent shower - what more do you need from a small hotel in Edinburgh? Try a night there!

Right at the corner of Cowgate / Grassmarket this hotel is at a great location. The room was very small, and the heater in the bathroom did not work, but we got a space heater to cope with that. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Very central to castle and shopping areas, plenty of pubs and eating places near by all within walking distance

Hotel was clean but the room was a little dated. Close to numerous bars and pubs but very little problems with noise in our room. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff, rather basic hotel, but in very good location. My room was on third floor (had to climb two flights of stairs and walk along several corridors).

The pub adjoining was noisy. The barrels were loaded up late at night up for the next day's delivery (100 barrels). The shower room/toilet was so narrow - width of the toilet seat. The shower room/toilet door could not open properly as it was stopped by the bed. The decor was a bit sad. Curtains were dirty. Not what I expected from a city centre hotel. […] I was also shocked at the main entrance as I thought it was the back entrancewe were going in to. BUT IT WAS CHEAP. Ďalšie informácie

We were unimpressed by lack of welcome on arrival No offer of help with very heavy baggage No direction to room Room and bathroom was in need of fresh paint walls were stained. Throws on bed stained. Cupboard doors all scrapes Stunning views through VERY dirty windows that would not open for air Noise levels excessive until 4.00 a.m

I love old buildings and a little character never hurt anyone. This hotel, however, was very disappointing. The shower and bathroom had some disgusting black mold all over. The paint on the ceiling in the bathroom was chipping away from the moisture (really, really chipping away). The carpet seemed like it was 100 years old and had never been vacuumed. […] The bed had a dip in it as though a 400 hundred pound person had been laying in it for years. The tv was tiny (not that I go to hotels for the TV) and the reception was terrible on it. The Grassmarket was the final hotel my husband and I stayed at after a 20 day long vacation. The location was fine, although I would have preferred being a bit closer to Princess Street. The hotel was a let down. We don't need anything too special, really just a place to crash after exploring, but all of the mold and the overall poor upkeep of our room left a lot to be desired. Ďalšie informácie

I have used this Hotel twice now, the second time wasn't such a pleasant experience, but it is very central, and reasonably priced.

Very good hotel in a good location. Room was lovely but more attention to the cleanliness of the shower cubicle should be taken. Everything else was great and I would be more than happy to recommend this hotel.

The location of this hotel is great, but you get what you pay for. The front desk staff are very helpful. It is within walking distance of all the Edinburgh sites. The elevator only goes to the first floor. So if you are on 2 floor or above, you have to carry your bags through halls and up stairs. This is annoying. I had a single room. It was very small. […] The bathroom was small. The room was clean but old. There is free internet in the lobby and in a room on the first floor. There is a bar on the first that is very loud. I could hear it in my room at night, but I turned on the fan in the bathroom, and it blocked out the noise. If I went back to Edinburgh, I would spend a little more for a nicer hotel. I felt safe, but if was overall a pretty cheap hotel. Ďalšie informácie

Fantastic location. Nice clean hotel. Only complaint was that some staff were "robotic" in their responses to enquiries.

The receptionist had our info ready when we arrived rather late in the evening, about 10pm. We had to literally go through an indoor maze to reach our tiny hotel room, though. However, the bathroom was amazingly clean, and the room was adequate. The staff were really nice, getting us taxis, info, holding luggage, wake up call, etc. The location was […] the BEST. It is in Old Town Edinburgh, very short walking distance to the Royal Mile, and the Grassmarket area. Very close to Edinburgh Castle as well, and about a mile from Holyrood house. It is quite a distance from the Bus station, you could walk, but with luggage, it is too far. We took a taxi to/from the hotel & it was NOT expensive (in May/June 2010). The hotel could use some updating, but it is in Old Town, so I imagine that could be quite difficult. We had a decent bed, hot shower, and good service in the perfect location. You really can't ask for more! Ďalšie informácie

This is a good hotel for a budget stay in Edinburgh. It's not cheap, but it was the least expensive I could find. Edinburgh is not a cheap city. The hotel was in a great location within easy walking distance to all of the sites and only about a 10 minute walk from the bus that goes to the airport. The hotel was in good condition and my room was comfortable […] except for the mattress. It was by far the worst mattress I have ever slept on. It's hard to describe, but there was a huge hole underneath my knees where it sunk down and the entire upper half of the mattress sloped down into this hole. Other than that, the room was comfortable. Ďalšie informácie

Central to Edinburgh with a bargain price to boot. May not be the trendiest hotel but what would you expect for the price!! Bargain if you only need a bed to get your head down after a night out...

Although THE Grassmarket hotel is in a really convenient location, the hotel itself does not match up. The reception area was filthy, and although the staff were very polite and helpful, the condition of the hotel was extremely poor and vastly overpriced.

This hotel is in a great location...close to the Royal Mile, not far from the train station, and right in the Grassmarket Square. The front desk service was good, and there was a room to hold my luggage until my room was ready later. However, the hotel is somewhat dumpy. My room was small and a bit dark. This didn't bother me, though. What did was finding […] that the tea cups in the room were filthy. This not only surprised me, but brought down my overall impression of the place. Ďalšie informácie

It is what it is. Older place in a fantastic location. If you're looking for a place to sleep and take a shower, this will be fine.

this hotel is in the Grassmarket, a happening section of town with lots of great places to eat and enjoy fantastic european beer. the people were friendly, the room was clean, the bed was SO comfy and it was within walking distance of some great areas. stay at this place and enjoy being in the heart of Edinburgh!

Our room faced the main street. I had read the warnings, but didn't heed them. It is very noisy at night from patrons leaving the clubs below. The plaza in front of the hotel is pleasant, and I like being in the older part of town. Quite a walk from Waverly - all uphill. Not a problem for the younger set, but hard of the feet if you're a little older! […] We actually left a day early. Ďalšie informácie

We loved the location of this hotel. We were within a 5-15 minute walking distance of every attraction that we wanted to see. However, given the price that we paid, and the terrible quality of the hotel, I believe we could have stayed at one of many other hotels in the area and had a better stay. The rooms are small, with the worst beds I have ever […] slept on in my life. The mattress felt like a pile of rocks with a sheet pulled over it. We did not recieve any of the wake up calls that we had scheduled, and there was not an alarm clock in the room. There were not elevators that accessed all of the floors/sections of the hotels, so it made it extremely difficult to move luggage upstairs and downstairs. I did not feel as if our belongings were all that secure in the hotel room, as the room could easily be broken in to. We shoved on the door about 3 times after having locked it, and the door opened. In addition, the hotel was fairly dirty, old, and in need of lots of renovations. The reception at the hotel was not that great, and we were treated pretty rudely by several of the receptionists. I also did not like the fact that you could not take your room keys with you, you were required to leave them at the front desk, otherwise you would be charged a massive fine. Other than location, there is nothing good about this hotel. Ďalšie informácie

I read all the reviews on the hotel and still decided to stay there. I've stayed at hostels and figured I could deal with just about anything. As others have said the hotel is a little run down. I could live with that. When I got off the elevator onto my floor, I noticed that the floor was on a slant and when I reached my room the effect made me very […] dizzy. Also my room could have been a little cleaner. The location is terrific however, i stayed at another hotel in that same area earlier in the week and feel there are other options out there. The hotel is inexpensive but, for a few more dollars you can get a better value. Ďalšie informácie

Es fand schon schlecht an: sie gaben mir die Schlüssel für ein vergebenes Zimmer. Das Haus ist das reinste Labyrinth. Der TV ging auch nicht. Die Heizung auch nicht wirklich. Ich hatte wirklich sehr kalt. Auch kein Internet. Die Lage war das einzig Positive...
