Great Hotels and Staff make for great vacations.
Pros:

Market Street Hotel was the perfect location to literally everything. Old Town. New Town. Royal Mile. The Waverly Train Station, Pubs, Restaurants and shops.

The atmosphere was so welcoming inside Market Street Hotel. The front desk staff, the staff in the lounge and housekeeping staff were incredibly warm, professional and personable.

My room was just delightful. Extremely comfortable bed and seating. The mini fridge was complete with a variety beverages. Coffee and tea were also available should you choose to make yourself a morning up of either.

Mirrors brought daylight and modern flare all around your room. Wonderful shower. Towels, robes slippers also provided. And a large enough umbrella for those famous Scottish Rains..

Clean and ever so quiet. Another plus I personally loved wss the ability to adjust the temperature of the room. The air- conditioning as very quiet.. not always a feature in many hotels.

I all most hate to share how much I loved this Hotel and it's staff.. because once you visit Edinburgh, you will want to go back. It's a city to fall in love with.

Excellent hotel! Very convenient location.
Pros:

My husband and I recently stayed at the Market Street hotel and had an excellent experience. The hotel is conveniently located near the Railway so if commuting to Edinburgh via train you are just a 5 minute walk away. I was worried that it might be loud due to its proximity, not at all! I didn’t hear any trains throughout our 3 night stay.

Additionally, it’s in a centralized location for walking! Every landmark, restaurant or point of interest was within a 10-minute walk from the hotel. We were so pleased by this.

The decor and room itself was lovely. Very fresh and clean. When we walked in we both said “oh wow.” Some fun retro decor mixed with elegant furniture and amenities. Truly beautiful.

The amenities were also great. We received welcome champagne, snacks and treats in the room (that were refilled daily by the housekeeping team), slippers, and cozy bathrobes.

This is a hotel I strongly recommend and will definitely return to during my next trip to Edinburgh.

Perfect Stay in Edinburgh
Pros:

This is a wonderful hotel. Rooms are clean and relatively spacious. Location is perfect. I've never been at a hotel before that provided a flat iron for your hair, such a nice touch. The free minibar was also great. Can't beat the location.

Loved!!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at Market Street Hotel. We spent two nights here at the beginning of our trip to Scotland, and it was the perfect place to start. Every member of the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming, and their hospitality set the tone for our entire visit. The rooms were spectacular. They strike that perfect balance of feeling modern, luxurious, and just the right amount of bougie chic without being over the top. The location is hard to beat. It's literally across the street from Waverley Station, which made arriving and departing incredibly easy, and it's only about a two minute walk to the Royal Mile with endless restaurants, pubs, and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would return without hesitation. If we're back in Edinburgh, this is where we'll stay.

Highly recommend, great location and great staff
Pros:

I absolutely loved my stay at Market Street Hotel..they made my 40th birthday trip special with some lovely cookies and birthday card in my room. In my opinion this is the best location right next to Waverley Station, central to all transit options and perfect to reach all of the city has to offer. Staff is so lovely…I had breakfast included which was such a great selection of items to choose from. The room category cozy was plenty of space and had some unique touches. Overall I highly recommend this hotel! Who doesn’t love a champagne offered at welcome and every day for breakfast!

Great location and value for the money
Pros:

Excellent location, perfectly situated between the Old Town and New Town, making all of Edinburgh’s major attractions easily walkable. We especially appreciated how quiet the room was, and the sliding wooden shade provided complete blackout conditions, helping us recover from jet lag after just one night. While the room (Artist’s Vista) was on the smaller side, it was thoughtfully appointed, and we enjoyed the complimentary minibar. Overall, it was an excellent stay.

Great Service and Perfect Location
Pros:

Lovely hotel with a great breakfast and a wonderful location. The breakfast room becomes a rooftop champagne bar with small plates at night. It features beautiful views, a stocked refrigerator in the room and you are welcomed with a glass of champagne. Good value for the service and location.

Wonderful stay at Market Street Hotel
Pros:

We have been travelling for 5 weeks now through Scandinavia and the UK. Market Street Hotel is hands down the best hotel we have stayed in on our trip. It was also the most expensive, but I understand why. Check in was efficient and friendly, we appreciated being able to access our room early after a morning of travelling. The level of finishes in our room was excellent, it really feels as though the layout of the room and the guests experience has been thoughtfully considered in the design process. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff either, they were at every interaction friendly and engaging. If I am ever lucky enough to find myself in Edinburgh I will happily stay here again.

Market Street Hotel Edinburgh Scotland is FANTASTIC
Pros:

Market Street Hotel in Edinburgh Scotland was the perfect place to stay. A newer hotel in a quiet area with elevator, air conditioning, and stairs. Nice rooftop restaurant. The smiling hotel staff were wonderful, friendly and went out of their way to provide any help necessary. (Loaner umbrellas, slippers, free mini-bar and fantastic room cleanliness were additional pluses.) About 1 1/2 blocks from the middle of the Royal Mile (makes it easier going up/down the mile to the castle, palace and other historic locations), across the street from the Waverly train station pedestrian entrance & around the corner from the tram and public bus stop for getting around town, as well as the A100 Airport bus. No rental car needed. We plan to stay there again on our next trip.

A surprise find
Pros:

A lovely hotel just steps from the train station (so you don't have to schlep your bags up the 75 steps of Fleschman's Close!). Well-appointed, quiet and modern rooms, exceptional service and lots of unexpected and amazing perks. If you're in Edinburgh, you'll want to stay here!

Superb property with a great vibe
Pros:

We stayed for one night at this property upon our arrival by train from London before heading out on a tour to Speyside. It is located just a few steps from the train station. We were greeted warmly upon check-in. Our room, although compact, was very well appointed. They have truly mastered the art of maximizing space. The room had all of the lovely touches you might expect from a 5 star property. The bed was extremely comfortable. The rooms do have a very hip vibe. We were quite pleased. We did enjoy drinks and dinner at the bar/restaurant Nor'Loft on the 7th floor. The drinks and food were excellent. And possibly made the best espresso martini we have ever had! We would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Perfect boutique hotel
Pros:

Our room was spacious and comfortable with everything we need. The free mini bar was generously stocked. The street the hotel is on is not glamorous or anything, but it's super convenient. The train station is pretty much across the street, and our rental car company is located inside, so it was easy for us to get a car for our road trip. My only complaint is that the soap dispensers were a bit faulty, making it nearly impossible to get shampoo or conditioner.

Superior Hotel Near Royal Mile
Pros:

We had a lovely time at Market Street Hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated and quite spacious with very modern amenities. A delicious breakfast was provided with hot items included and optional champagne. The free minibar was always well stocked. The common areas and individual rooms were spotless and well-maintained. The location of the hotel could not be better. We were close to the train station and the Royal Mile. It was an easy walk everywhere. All staff were extremely professional and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous modern hotel with everything you need and more in the room (Dyson hair drier, straighteners, coffee machine, milk frother and complimentary mini bar to name a few!).
