I admittedly needed to cancel my reservation late due to airline issues but the hotel did not even acknowledge that I both called and left a message and emailed them asking to consider even a partial refund. They did not respond at all.

This property is right near the castle in Edinburgh. Great spot! But I booked this because when I contacted the hotel, they said they had an airport shuttle. No shuttle. Fortunately cabs are plentiful, but you’d be taking a chance if it was a rainy day. (Edinburgh was a stop for us on our way to visit a friend in the north. When we needed a taxi to the train, none were available because of the rain)

2nd time to stay
We stayed at the Grassmarket in 2016 and really enjoyed it, so we chose it again for our stay in Edinburgh. It’s in a great location as far as eating, shopping,and seeing the castle. The day clerk ( sorry I didn’t get his name) was so friendly and helpful. If you need a taxi, be sure to ask about the “magic button”! 😁 If we ever return, we will stay here again. My only issue was how close the bed was to the bathroom door, but after knocking into it a couple of times, we learned!

This is a great hotel right in the heart of Edinburgh Old Town, adjacent to the famed Victoria Street and the Royal Mile. The rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and the water pressure in the shower is great. There are numerous dining options around the hotel. There are lots of sightseeing opportunities in the area, including Edinburgh Castle, St. Giles Cathedral, and the John Knox House.

This hotel and area was perfect for a few days. Right in the center of town with lots to do within a 5 min walk. If you do want some peace and quiet around the hotel, this is not the place for you. We were in really on 215 and didn’t have any prob with outside noise. An employee told me some of the rooms above the bar have some issues with noise late at night. The bar below is very fun and crowded till late at night, but I’m 48 and my dads 75 and we never had a problem. It was a younger crown at the bar tho - 25-35 mainly.

The room had a leak on the room ceiling, which made the room odor to be unhealthy. The hotel changed me to another room, which was better but outside the room the carpet was all humid and smelled really bad. The hotel provided me with a bottle of wine for the inconvenience. Other than that, the location is perfect, and the hotel staff was good.

Hotel is in a great location, within an easy walk of the Royal Mile and lots of great shops and restaurants. Room felt very dusty (really aggravated our allergies). There was an air purifier in the room with a VERY dusty filter that we didn't use. Duvet covers and sheets didn't look super clean. Room temp was hard to regulate (windows didn't open at all). Loved having Biddy Mulligans and coffee shops nearby. Our stay was fine overall.
