Wilde Aparthotels, Edinburgh, Grassmarket
Antique boutiques, inviting whisky bars, and history etched into the very stones, Edinburgh's Grassmarket has gracefully evolved over the years into the stunning historic Old Town you see today. There is no finer way to explore this vibrant pocket of the city than by treading its time-worn cobblestones, where you can saunter to the evocative Greyfriars Kirkyard, meander Victoria Street's nooks and crannies, and, naturally, savour a hearty haggis amidst the bustling ambiance. Our prime position at the foot of Edinburgh Castle affords breath-taking views whilst being within walking distance of all the area’s top sights.

FAQS
Yes. We are superbly located. Grassmarket lies in the centre of Edinburgh's historic old town, and is one of the city's liveliest and most picturesque areas. Better yet, our prime position at the foot of Edinburgh Castle — which is not just the most popular tourist attraction in Scotland, but one of the most iconic historic sites in Western Europe — affords incredible views of this breath-taking monument. We’re also located within walking distance of the likes of The Real Mary King’s Close, the National Museum of Scotland, the Scott Monument and the Scotch Whisky Experience. Furthermore, you’re in easy reach of the city’s best places to shop, eat, drink and dance, including the famous Royal Mile with its many pubs and restaurants, as well as Edinburgh’s chief business districts and transport links.

Good to know
Please note that for bookings made on or after October 1st 2025, with arrivals from July 24th 2026 onwards, a 5% Tourist Tax will be included in the displayed rates but will need to be paid at check-in. This charge applies for stays of up to five consecutive nights. This new tax has been introduced by the City of Edinburgh Council to support local services and will be collected by accommodation providers on their behalf.
We want you to feel right at home with us, with the space and privacy to unwind. If you’re staying for a week or more, your apartment will be cleaned on the fourth day, and once a week thereafter. Your room has everything you need to keep your space spic and span, and of course additional cleans can be arranged for a small fee (£25 for studios, £35 for one-bedroom apartments, £45 for two-bedroom apartments). The team are also happy to provide extra towels and any essentials you need. If you’d like us to collect your rubbish, simply hang the rubbish collection hanger on your door.
If there’s anything we can do for you, just ask.
We don't like to wag our fingers, so we'll get this over quickly. No smoking in rooms or communal areas, and no events or parties. Double denim is, however, very much encouraged. We also now offer pet friendly stays – check out our pet policy here.
Flexibility is the spice of life, which is why we offer fully flexible rates that allow you to cancel for free anytime until 3pm the day before. We also offer semi-flexible rates that mean you can cancel for free up to 3 days before your arrive, and still stay in our good books.
We have accessible rooms available with extra space for wheelchair users and features such as lowered bathroom facilities and pull cord for emergencies.
Please note, some rooms are only accessible via stairs. If you require a room that is accessible without any stairs, please contact [email protected].
