Our Review
Unlike most budget hotels, the Grassmarket has the distinction of being housed in a listed building. A friendly property with a good reputation, it’s situated in the area of the same name: just off the Royal Mile, in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. This means that it’s very central, but the surrounding area can be a little noisy at night.
The Grassmarket Hotel is housed in a listed building. Due to the central location of this hotel in a very popular area noise may effect some rooms.
The 44 en suite bedrooms are basic 2 star standard but are nicely decorated and feature hairdryers, small televisions, tea/coffee facilities and are all non smoking. Most bedrooms have the very adaptable and popular zip link beds ensuring flexibility for twins and doubles. This means that triples rooms can be either a double & single or 3 separate beds, just request the configuration you prefer! Some bathrooms have a shower cubicle only and some have both bath and shower.
Adjoining the hotel is Biddy Mulligans Pub, with an Irish theme, this pub is lively and popular with tourists, locals & students and opens late. Breakfast is served between 7.30 and 9.30am and between 8.00 and 10.00am Sat/Sun.
Those guests requiring parking will receive a discount at the nearest NCP garage.
