Top Grassmarket Hotel Reviews

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was small, but clean and efficient. Being across the street from Haymarket station was great. That gave us easy access to the royal mile and the castle without having to deal with the higher traffic and prices. There was a lot of nighttime street noise from the station and the street cars outside, but not terrible, and that’s us having a street side room. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful, free tea and coffee were available. There’s only 2 elevators, so it got very crowded during check in. Overall it was a nice stay."
