Heriot Vacation Packages

Pros - bed was comfortable, location was good. Service was generally friendly. Either way - Quiet and dark (this can be a plus or con but it was nice for sleeping). Shower pressure is good but there’s no barrier between shower and the rest of the bathroom (the other 1 sq ft) so when you shower the bathroom floods Cons - the whole luxury concept is a marketing play to charge more money. The rooms are extremely small like there’s room to walk 3 steps between bed and bathroom and that’s it. No windows. The “mood” lighting is the only lighting so try to find anything or try to get dressed it’s terrible. There’s no room to open a medium size bag. I cannot see how this can be good for couples. The towels need some fabric softener. Overall the rooms are basically a clean bed to sleep in the dark. I would not stay there again it was way too cramped and claustrophobic.

Perfect location in beautiful historic building.

Advertised as a boutique 4* hotel but is not. Very good: ease of booking Good: parking, location Adequate: the cooked breakfast was hot and the eggs poached well. The 4 poster bed was a nice feature. Below par: very limited breakfast options, and the need to decide the night before is very odd and burdensome. The business is in effect a mediocre B&B within a grand old Edinburgh sandstone house - which needs a deep clean and ver considerable repair/refurbishment. Windows are single glazed, have rotten frames and are wedged permanently open so there is a lot of sound pollution from ambulances outside. Bathroom fixtures and fittings old and need upgrading. Overall a mediocre experience

Staying directly above a pub

Magnificent hotel in a perfect location

The Grassmarket Hotel was ideally located to explore the sights of Edinburgh and walking distance to Waverley Station. All the staff were extremely helpful, friendly and I was very impressed to get a free upgrade from a single to double room. The room was as described, cozy and all the amenities were excellent. Also, having direct access to Biddy Milligans next door was excellent. The hotel staff also offered to include breakfast. Which I thought was great. I’m from Glasgow, but I feel so grateful that I have two such excellent cities near to me.
