Grassmarket Hotel - A vibrant 3-star hotel in Edinburgh's historic Old Town with modern rooms and lively pub access

Grassmarket Hotel occupies a central location in Edinburgh's Grassmarket area, a lively district known for its pubs, cafés, and proximity to landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The 3-star hotel features 42 rooms across five floors, including single, double, twin, triple, and quad accommodations, each equipped with air conditioning, rainfall showers, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. A connecting door in the lobby leads to Biddy Mulligan's bar, where guests can enjoy an unlimited continental breakfast with one hot food selection. The hotel is 1 km from Edinburgh Waverley station, and the Q-Park Car Park at Omni Centre is a 15-minute walk away. Grassmarket Hotel's rooms feature magnetic wall maps, Dandy comic book wallpaper, and Arran toiletries, blending modern comfort with quirky Scottish touches.

Pros

The hotel is steps away from Victoria Street, Edinburgh's most Instagrammable street and inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.

Biddy Mulligan's bar offers live music seven nights a week and serves hearty pub fare alongside breakfast.

Rooms include unique design elements like cabin trunk wardrobes and city maps for sightseeing planning.

The central location provides easy walking access to the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, and Camera Obscura.

Cons

Some rooms may require navigating stairs despite the presence of a lift.

The lively Grassmarket area can be noisy, particularly on weekends.
