The staff was amazing. Barely had to ask for anything because they volunteered to do everything before we even asked. Concierge hooked us up with tickets to the Castle and Real Mary King’s Close even though they were sold out on every site I looked at. On site restaurant was great, and host sat us right away even though there was a 45 minute wait for people not staying at the hotel.

I liked being in a quiet, residential area that was still walking distance to everything downtown. Liked the honesty bar and the friendly staff. Liked the character of the place. Liked that the room had a fridge, kettle, dishes, corkscrew, etc.

Edinburgh Castle
Stretching down almost 100 feet, this tree-like coral shelf lies in the middle of a beautiful garden of gorgonians. It’s in these plants that the rare pygmy seahorse makes its home – so Amed Wall is your best shot of catching a glimpse. Reef sharks and sea turtles also roam these waters, so there’s no shortage of deep-sea wonders to check out.

Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city.
Not the most interesting castle. Fabulous views of the city. Most of the interior has been stripped. The Crown jewels were absolutely nothing compared to The Tower of London exhibition. Very unsuitable for wheelchairs and buggies all cobbles and slopes. Difficult with a stick. All in all a bit of a tourist trap all around the area.

We saw Edinburgh Castle on our last trip but there is always something new to see. Look for the room with the tapestries hanging from the wall - they took 13.5 years to complete. Missed that last time. There is a lot to see.

This was my second time visiting Edinburgh Castle. The first time I did an audio tour and this time signed up for a guided tour. Both work, but the tour lead by a guide was really great, though more expensive.

During our visit, there was an event happening close to the castle. The infrastructure took them more that two weeks to disassemble so the main route to the castle was blocked during our entire visit and it wasn't possible to see the main entrance. Moreover, many locals told us the trip inside they castle is a bit overhyped.

Fabulous history and views. make a reservation and go early. the Hop on Hop off bus is perfect for getting around Edinburgh easily. Make reservations for dinner as all pubs and restaurants are booked up early.

The castle is amazing however the walk up to it is very steep and even when you are in the castle there are lots of steps so it is not really a good place to visit for those who are not fit or are disabled. As it is so high up it can be very windy and getting around it in the rain is no fun. We did enjoy our visit even though we were limited as to which parts of the castle had esay access. The views are amazing from the castle.

I was in a huge corner room that felt like an apartment. I had 3 huge windows and a bathroom window that provided a lot of light and had views to the Scott Monument, Edinburgh Castle, and I believe the bank building. It was fantastic views, room, comfortable bed, cozy, and beautifully decorated. My two friends were in smaller rooms in the second building and I am extremely happy with my room 611.
The apartment was spacious, well furnished, and clean. The view from the living room of Edinburgh Castle was amazing, and the location was certainly walkable to the Royal Mile and the train station. The Destiny Scotland office on Thistle St was able to hold our luggage on our arrival day until the apartment ready for us. We were able to catch a Bright Bus to the Airport just up the street .
Our room was on the fourth floor, with a castle view. It was spectacular. We awoke each morning with smiles. The staff were great. We had cocktails in the lounge, and breakfast was very good. The location could not have been better. Walking distance to the Royal Mile, Princess St, Edinburgh Castle, and across the street from many pubs, and other great restaurant's. (tip: make sure you tell your taxi driver it's the Apex Grassmarket Hotel, because there is also a Grassmarket hotel.) Choose the Apex.
Great location! It is within walking distance of Edinburgh Castle, many shops and restaurants, and many public transportation options. The decor is beautiful. And it is right next door to Biddy Mulligans. If you stay here, please try their eggs Benedict! Fabulous.
All of the staff were great, especially Poppy! She never tired of a question and was so informative and helpful, and pleasant. Thank you, Poppy and Grassmarket Hotel!
The apartment was in a great location, close to trams and buses, and lots of places to eat just around the corner. Also within a decent walking distance to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. It was lovely apartment, spacious and clean and had everything we needed. There was never a need to contact the hosts. Everything was in perfect order.
Beautiful, fresh and modern apartment. Great view to Edinburgh castle. Great location in the city centre. Walking distance to everything important - Old town, Edinburgh castle, Victoria street, grassmarket 10 - 15 min. away. Princes street, George street, Rose street are right outside the door. No disturbings of sounds outside from the nightlife. Wonderful city.
Great location, walking distance to city centre and Edinburgh Castle. Really tidy and well-kept suite with hotel like amenities provided (fresh linens, bath products, etc.) and full kitchen and tons of space.
Very nice 3 bedroom apartment with plenty of room for family of 5. Washer/dryer and full fridge/freezer were very convenient. Location was quiet and walkable to major tourist areas including Dean Village, Edinburgh Castle, and Princes Street.
In general, the hotel is good. It is located within the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, positioning it in the city center of the Old Town. The New Town is also conveniently close, just about a 10-minute walk away. Edinburgh Castle is not far either, making the hotel's location very advantageous.
The breakfast is good, although it can be quite crowded, especially during the last hour of service. The room was clean, and the room service was helpful. The hotel building is historic, but the interior is modern, giving it a special vibe.
The location is just below Edinburgh castle -4 min downstairs from it on Grassmarket. Unmatched location! We arrived very late on Sunday due to car rental troubles but had a starter pack of delicious cookies, butter, jams , coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the kitchen. This helped immensely as the kids were starving by then. Well appointed w full kitchen. Even w in apartment washer.
