Glenesk Retreat

The room was downstairs-I thought it was clever to make/design do up rooms downstairs which I thought was very trendy and I loved it Close to lots of restaurants, rooftop bar, cafes

A nice small hotel in a very busy part of the old town. The hotel is located in an interesting area but not easy to access. Rooms are tiny but air conditioning worked well. Staff was extremely helpful providing tips and advice. Breakfast is served in a connecting restaurant but was disappointing with limited selection and little variety. I’m glad I had the opportunity to stay at the Grassmarket Hotel but don’t think I would choose to stay at the hotel in the future.

The staff, led by Ivor, is extraordinary, attentive and caring. They set a tone that carries the place, makes it warmly and quintessentially Scottish. Breakfast is superb, the Grand Cafe very good, and the location amid the heart of The Royal Mile utterly perfect.
