Grassmarket Hotel  

The staff could not have been more gracious. They were as accomodatingas they could be under the circumstances. (See below).

The main reasoned chose this hotel is because of the amenities offered, ie; tv, wifi, hairdryer, etc. When we arrived, sewers told that due to some renovations taking place in the hotel, Thayer were not able to offer wifi or tv. There was actually a small, 9inch tv in our room but it only had 1 channel, bbc. When we changed rooms, they stated that they were going to put us in one of their "new" rooms....however, there was no tv and still no wifi. The room was wallpapered in comic books.....? All in all, the friendliness was good, the accommodations definitely needed updating. We would stay there again because the location was perfect to just about everything...we will just double check to make sure their renovations are complete.

Location was great and staff were very friendly. Rooms clean and tidy.

While we were there renovations were taking place which obviously was necessary. We also didn't have internet access which made it difficult for keeping in touch with family, but again as the motel was undertaking a refit, so I imagine it couldn't be helped.

Close to pubs

Noisy and dirty

Wonderful receptio from Lizzie a welcome all the reception staff kept up during my stay. Otherwise the hotel is very tired and my room was scruffy, I wouldn't have dared to put my bare feet on the carpet. there was very little signage making it very easy to get lost in the corridoors amongst the very necessary improvement works. There was no fire notice in my room. Not the best of stays!

The hotel room was very modern and and confortable. They had a device were I could connect my iPod and listen to music on the room and on the bathroom. The location is great: right in the middle of Edinburgh, near the station and with sightseeing bus stops.

The internet connection was down and the room didn't have a telephone. Also, we were on the first floor so the music coming from Biddy Mulligan's Pub was high (although i don't count it as a real problem)

I liked the fact that the room was modern as it had just been refurbished. The room was also very clean and spacious and the view from the room was beautiful. The welcome refreshments in the room was a lovely idea, they went down well!

The bar underneath was a little bit noisy, however this is to be expected in a city centre location.

had a great time at the hotel Karen and the other staff were very helpful and hospitable.

Hotel was being renovated while we Visited .. When its finished it will be Super .. our Room was Quirky and Fun and we really loved it ..

Our TV wasnt working so would of been nice to get a Small Discount for this as we stayed 3 nights.

Excellently priced for its location and has very friendly and helpful staff. I'll definitely stay there again.

Excellent location in centre of Edinburgh. Close to lots of good pubs and restaurants. Good value for money.

Furnishings a bit worse for wear. Bustling area, can be noisy at night.

The location and price was right,

I know it was a room at a budget price but I would expect the television to work and to have some where to sit other then the bed, so I could read or wright, also the shower and toilet area was very small

Position is very good,you are close to the Edinburgh castle and mains street of the city (200 m).

Rooms are quite old and essential. I went to this hotel twice and in both case Internet was not available. No breakfast is included. Central heating is not enough to warm up the room and bathroom so the room was cold.
