Top Grassmarket Hotel Reviews

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"Great location and friendly staff "

Aparthotel Adagio Edinburgh Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. You are close to everything but also sort of tucked away at the same time. The room has everything you need. I will note that my bed was slightly more in the uncomfortable side. There was a hump in the middle of it and cause some slight pressure on my back with how I lay. Otherwise I would return here and recommend! "

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent central location which is among the reason I booked here. Sainsbury two doors down for easy snack shopping. Royal Mile a block away, train station 10 min easy walk. The staff was outstanding with help for this traveller. Safe, clean and very good rate. Highly recommend. "
