I stay here every time I'm in Edinburgh. It's a quirky fun hotel, the rooms are tiny, and getting to the rooms is sometimes like being in a maze. It's a very cool little place right in the heart of old town, walkable to everything.

The Grassmarket is the BEST place to get a hotel if you're looking to get into the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. It's right next to the iconic Victoria Street, and there's so many options for eating, drinking, and exploring right when you step outside! The staff is so nice and welcoming, and the bar that's attached is so cool as well!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Property was centrally located so super accessible to anywhere you wanted to go. However very loud at night. we managed to be put in one of the only couple rooms with no elevator access and they told us through a hallway with a couple stairs as if it was not a lot but then there was two extra flight not mentioned. The room itself was clean but the bathroom smelled like mold and mildew and it had a previous guests hair stuck to the shower walls. Check in and check out were easy.
