Tucked in Old Town, Grassmarket Hotel has quietly become one of the more interesting mid-range hotel options in Edinburgh. The strong location score reflects what guests actually feel on arrival, barely a stroll from the centre of Edinburgh, with the kind of rhythm a city traveller tends to want. Inside, the rooms are practical, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. There's a particular atmosphere to the place, neither overdesigned nor neglected. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 2,400 reviews, scoring solid on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €221 a night, which lands as a fair-value option for the city. Stack Grassmarket Hotel against the better-known names in Edinburgh and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
