Grassmarket Hotel was wonderful. The location was very convenient and the restaurants in the area were terrific. My only negative comment would be the slippery shower floor. I would come again and would recommend it to other people.

Incredible staff and even better location. We were a little hesitant when we learned at check in that our room was directly above a pub that didn’t close until am, but, honestly, you would never know you were even remotely close to a pub, let alone directly above one. Room decoration was neat. The room and bedding were very clean. Definitely book here!
