About
Edinburgh Grosvenor Hotel
Set on Grosvenor Street in Edinburgh's tourist district, Edinburgh Grosvenor Hotel puts you within easy reach of the city's main draws.

The hotel's comfort-focused rooms include singles, twins, doubles, and family options, all with private bathrooms and heating.
Beyond the rooms, the hotel covers the practical side of a city break: a 24-hour reception, laundry and dry cleaning, currency exchange, and a business centre. After a day out, the bar and lounge area offers a relaxed spot to unwind, and the on-site restaurant serves a continental breakfast each morning.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rated lower on rooms and cleanliness — The 7.6 overall score reflects a category rating of 5 for rooms and cleanliness, well below the location's 8.
- Wi-Fi and parking may cost extra — Wi-Fi is paid, and while some guests mention an on-site car park, it's not listed as a free amenity.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
- Not ideal for light sleepers — Being in a busy tourist area, street noise could be a concern, though no specific reviews mention it.
