Location

Grove House Hotel is located in the west end of Edinburgh, just 0.6km from the iconic Edinburgh Castle. Guests can explore the Old Town, including the Royal Mile and Grassmarket, which are a ten-minute walk from the hotel. Princes Street, known for its shopping, is a fifteen-minute stroll away and features beautiful Georgian architecture.

Breakfast options include a full Scottish breakfast with award-winning haggis, boiled eggs, and artisan bread delivered fresh each morning. Guests can enjoy light refreshments at the honesty bar situated in the courtyard.

Grove House Hotel provides a charming courtyard that serves as a suntrap during the summer months, perfect for relaxing with a drink. In the colder seasons, guests can retreat to the lounge, equipped with a cozy fire and a selection of magazines. An underground car park is available, though spaces must be pre-booked and are charged at £15 per day.

The hotel emphasizes sustainability by using high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients for its breakfast menu.

the staff was friendly and helpful. i had great conversations with them. the big eating area with free juices, smoothies, waters, sparkling waters, and an auto espresso and coffee machine was wonderful. there was also a nice lounge area and outside patio.
the shower had an odd folding door. it made entering or exiting a bit awkward.
