The room was a bit cold . The pub was very scruffy for breakfast. Scratched table and a bit unhygienic looking with casual workers hanging around behind the bar but no person delegated to help guests as people didn’t seem to realise what the generous breakfast deal was

Location was excellent . Staff were friendly and helpful perhaps could have been a bit smarter in their appearance. The room was very clean and quiet. The location is central and interesting with a lot of independent and vintage shops. The breakfast was very ample giving both continental and hot choices in the inclusive deal.The room was very clean and quiet.

I got confused about the corners you had to take like floor 1 in elevator and how to get to my room from there. Also there is a pub below and it got really loud while we were there because they had some game that week.i had to turn on tv to cut the noise.

The Location was great!

They should empty the bin everyday and not on the 4th day and our last day of staying. No one clean the room on daily basis. It's okay not to charge the sheets and towels but cleaning and tidying is a must. That's why Don't disturb sign was never been put outside the door know.

The mattress / pillows weren’t as comfortable as I would want, especially with all the walking involved I needed firmer support!

Really good location to visit local museums such as the national museum of Scotland, Edinburgh castle and museum of dentistry/ medicine are all within 5-10 minute walk from the hotel

Air con seemed to switch off at night so room hot

Very creaky floors. An annoying noise in night that I could not locate- almost like a buzz if message coming in on a phone over and over again.

Could hear music from pub until early hours although didn't stop me from getting to sleep. Road nose from outside as well. Room was cold - heating was ineffective. They provided a portable oil heater which took over an hour to make any difference. Bathroom tiled floor was like ice.

Great location right in the centre. Next door to a lovely Irish pub. 5 minutes walk from shops castle etc. Lovely large room with nice decor and huge TV. Lovely rainfall shower and large bed and fridge.

Room was quite cold and there were no extra blankets on the room.

Location, breakfast and staff were great!

A slightly bigger room would be great, but for 1 night, it was ok.

Great location 👌🏼 Hotel itself lovely, room we had was cosy, so if you don't mind small space you will like it. Not enough space to do my morning pilates, but i can live with skipping a day✌🏼 We also heard birds in the morning which was nice I wasn't sure if it was my meditation app going on my phone or nature sounds from outside 😆

The room was not ready for the check in time of 3pm, this caused inconvenience. The room was not replenished with toilet paper, clean towels, bed's not made etc. for the second day.

Location was excellent. The room was a good size for 4 people. Beds were comfortable. Tea, coffee and hair dryer provided in the room which was great. It was great that the hotel stored our luggage for the day.

It was 2 single bed put together with a metal frame running down the middle with a soft double mattress topper on top!!! Extremely uncomfortable 😕 no sleep!!!

Rooms are a good size and very clean. The "little extras" ie fridge in room, carmel wafers..lol, extra towels

Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper... the hotel is adjoined to an Irish pub which hosts live bands late into Friday and Saturday nights (~2am). We didn't mind as it was Hogmanay, but even up on the 2nd floor you could "feel" the noise in the room. We also felt we paid an excessive price given the amenities, even after acknowledging it was Hogmanay - perhaps to take the sting off the higher seasonal price, the Hotel might offer a heavily discounted or free breakfast during that period?

Well-located, clean and comfortable hotel - a great base for a long weekend or, as in our case, celebrating Hogmanay weekend. We liked the bright and modern check-in area, the amenities in the room, and the large and comfortable bed. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh: within 15 mins walk of everything central (including the Castle and Royal Mile), and only a 20 min walk to Arthur's Seat.

Staircase to the room. A bit confusing to get to the room.

Close to bus stop and shops. Amy at the reception is friendly and helpful. Room is comfortable for 4 of us.

Embra's a city of many hills – and the Grassmarket Hotel is on the other side of one of them if you arrive at Waverley. Don't travel with lots of luggage if you want to stay here, especially if it's a heavy suitcase. The house is old so you still have stairs ahead if you take the lift. Besides – since the pub is basically in the same building as the hotel, it can be quite loud. The walls are thin! So, it depends on your priorities if this is the place for you.

Breakfast was good and the atmosphere in the pub is great. Furthermore, the hotel is situated perfectly underneath the castle, everything is in easy walking distance. And the room was clean and cosy.

Very small room, difficult to move around with 2 people. Bathroom doors are glass and can see through. Shelf at pillow hight above the bed, easily bang head into.

Fantastic location

Nearest carpark (NCP) is expensive

Great location close to the Castle and a short walk to Princes Street. Lots of bars and restaurants close by makes it ideal for a short city break.

The hotel was rabbit warren like! Very up and down stairs with lots of passageways, took a bit of getting used to!

Very close to attractions. Hotel was 24 hour reception so accessible anytime. Breakfast was very good with the facilities being attached to pub next door.

Nothing at all. Great hotel for a great price.

Fantastic location. Spacious room with HUGE TV, plenty of tea and coffee, gorgeous bathroom and toiletries. Staff were great too. I was a little worried at first that it would be loud at night due to the location but I slept like a baby.

Bit of noise from the pub next door but all was quiet after midnight.

Clean tidy, staff were great.
