The Grassmarket

This hotel is actually located in the historic Grassmarket Old Town, ensuring you are just steps away from both the castle and the Royal Mile, putting you in the centre of the action. The bedrooms are beautiful here, complete with a math puzzle on your wall every day, left by the cleaning staff for you to solve (hint: the answer can be received by the front desk). They range from single bedrooms to rooms that sleep three to four people. All of them include the following amenities—rainfall showers, iPod docks, and complimentary toiletries, in room coffee and tea as well as free Wi-Fi. Other neat things this hotel offers includes bike rental, packed lunches to go and some of the nicest and most hospitable staff. As an added bonus, if you book directly from their website, a free bottle of Prosecco will be waiting in your room for you.
