8. Destiny Scotland Royal Mile Residence

Old Town Edinburgh, 0.7 km from Grassmarket

"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

Top Grassmarket Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great. Staff was very helpful. Loved the connection to the pub."

Apex City of Edinburgh Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Overly offered to help with our bags. We appreciated thr welcome drinks for booking through Expedia"

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent, the food was good, the social aspect was unexpectedly fun. We are older than the typical guests, so my only negative is that we were in bed sooner than most and the elevator ding and doors clunking shut late into the evening took away from general sleep quality. But, if you want good value and superb location and a chance to mingle with travellers from all over the world, this is a good place to start."

Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa, Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly attentive and informative and were always willing to help! Incredibly clean and great hotel. Had a relaxing time using the complimentary spa services: pool, sauna, and gym! The cocktails at the bar were also uniquely Scottish and delicious!"

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

8/10 Good

"Great location, right across from train station, easy walk to Royal Mile and heart of Edinburgh. Bit of street noise from people, but expected snd just closed the windows. Am 6-8" and bed was good."

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was quiet, clean, and had lovely shampoo, conditioner, bath & body wash, and skin cream in the room. It was convenient to walk to Waverley station, the tram and bus stops, New Town, and Old Town. The staff was so helpful and kind to keep our luggage before check in and following check out. I would stay here again."

Stay Central

10/10 Excellent

"Very well located. Friendly staff made for a lovely stay"

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. The location was perfect. The staff members were all friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well appointed."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time in Edinburgh and our first European trip. The hotel is wonderful! Everyone was very pleasant upon our arrival. The cozy room was in fact cozy. The room was well stocked with everything you would need. Hairdryer with attachments, clothing steamer Nespresso machine tea kettle. The air conditioning worked great. The room was quiet and dark at night. The bed was very comfortable. If coming from the United States remember that in Europe hotel rooms are not as large as we are used to. This is the perfect size. You’re in the middle of it all. Everything is within walking distance. The tram stop is right up the road on Princes street. Maybe a 8 minute walk. Waverly station is across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Edinburgh."
