Top Grassmarket Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Menu in room was outdated. One Elevator was not working. Pillows were not comfortable Shower was great Staff was very helpful"

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent

"We had a brutal walk to get the hotel from the train station. That had more to with too much souvenir shopping but it did make getting there unpleasant. The hotel was a great place to stay. Nice sized rooms right in the royal mile. I will definitely stay here again. But next time I will hire a taxi to get there."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay with amazing staff on a wonderful city. Well located and the free coffee/tea was a nice touch"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great!"

Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket

8/10 Good

"The room was very small and the bed was up against a wall on one side it was very difficult getting in and out of the bed especially in the middle of the night the TV wouldn’t let our phones cast to it someone came up to look at it and told us he would send someone to look at it but no one did. The location was good."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Good location. Rooms on the non castle side hear garbage trucks early in the morning. Other than that I would be happy to stay there again."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and great location. Visiting in September, our room on the top floor was too warm, and we heard another woman on a lower floor asking for a heater. Staff tried really hard to help and we ended up with a window open—which means you get all of the sounds of a busy city. Still, a really nice place."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Overly offered to help with our bags. We appreciated thr welcome drinks for booking through Expedia"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, the food was good, the social aspect was unexpectedly fun. We are older than the typical guests, so my only negative is that we were in bed sooner than most and the elevator ding and doors clunking shut late into the evening took away from general sleep quality. But, if you want good value and superb location and a chance to mingle with travellers from all over the world, this is a good place to start."
