Market Street Hotel, Edinburgh

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Next to Waverley train station, the Market Street Hotel offers city center convenience, modern suites with understated design touches and a rooftop Champagne lounge with views over the New Town, including Princes Street and its gardens.”

CN Traveler review:

“Literally moments away from the mainline trains, this comfortable, contemporary, stripped-back addition to Edinburgh’s Old Town comes with a rooftop reception and Champagne bar, with enviable views and a welcome glass of fizz at check-in.”

Telegraph review:

“This sleek hotel is a lesson in the uplifting effect of good design and brings both style and substance to a great city-centre location. The only drawback? The temptation to sip champagne all day while taking in the Nor’loft bar’s staggering views until it’s time to retreat to the sanctuary of your stylish oak and granite bedroom.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

Market Street Hotel in Edinburgh feels like a well-curated love letter to the city. It sits right in the heart of Old Town, blending contemporary design with local heritage in a way that feels both bold and cozy.

The architecture, by JM Architects and design studio FG Stijl, draws on traditional Scottish materials. Think sandstone and white oak, but updates them with clean lines, custom furniture, and soft wool accents.

The rooms themselves are quietly luxurious, with charming wooden shutters, marble bathrooms, rainfall showers, and all the thoughtful touches that make it more than just a place to crash.

What really steals the show, though, is the rooftop Champagne lounge (Nor’ Loft) perched on the 7th floor, where guests are greeted with a glass of fizz and panoramic views of Edinburgh’s skyline.

The everyday conveniences are spot-on too: there’s a café for coffee-on-the-go, a minibar stocked with local treats, and a truly welcoming staff who pride themselves on being your “local heroes.”

I always enjoy staying at Market street due to great location .

Good. The main thing was that the breakfast was hot, which maybe due to the fact that I was there at 7am.

Fit for a king, as long as you are a mountain goat

Hotel was beautifully appointed, staff was super. If you are coming or going by train, it is right next to Waverly Station, Super convenient.

The hotel is on the lower level of Edinburgh,and to reach the Royal mile you had o climb mucho steps,Wonderful hotel, but Oh the uphill walking hurt

Really lovely comfortable cool hotel. Would definitely stay there again.

Loved the style of the hotel - very contemporary. The setting for the breakfast was exceptional (fabulous views), and the staff were lovely. The level of allergy awareness was excellent in that every morning we were asked at breakfast if anyone had an allergy (one of us had), so that was great.

Would have liked a member of staff to be in the entrance foyer at all times, as sometimes we didn't feel fully safe there (twice a member of the public - not staying in the hotel - followed us into the foyer. Nothing happened, but felt it would be better if there was a member of staff there. Sometimes a staff member was there during the day, but mostly was not, during our stay)

Modern hotel in the old town

It is very near the train station. The room I stayed had complimentary drinks from the fridge as well as coffee, tea, snacks. Lovely bedroom slippers. We like that the sink is outside of the WC and shower area.

Price is a bit steep. They don’t have triple sharing room. Which makes travelling with an elderly or a teenager difficult.

Would like to be able to open the windows.

Lovely hotel perfectly situated to explore Edinburgh

The location on Market Street is perfect to quickly explore Old & New Town. The rooms are very modern & nicely decorated. The breakfast (coffee, pastries, ...) was really good compared to many other hotels in this category. The hotel rooms are equipped with a Dyson hairdryer and the shower is fantastic.

Maybe give the option for king size bed for couples but really just a detail to be improved.

Great place.when back in Edinburgh I will make sure to rebook with them

It was excellent in terms of location, space, services and food. The breakfast is excellent, I recommend to include it when making the reservation, you won’t be disappointed. The staff is first rate competent and very friendly. . Great place to stay in Edinburgh.

Just the taxi servicing the hotel. You cannot trust them as they would simply take anyone without respecting the rules. I recommend to request an Uber

Highly recommend Market Street Hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at Market Street Hotel. The rooms are clean, comfortable & tastefully appointed and the staff are great. The location is terrific on the border of Old & New Edinburgh...close to all of the sites, near the train & bus station (very convenient for catching day tours) and surrounded by lots of restaurants. We highly recommend.

This was our second annual visit to Edinburgh from Canada, and we might try another hotel next time. The 500+ night lef

Location is excellent especially if arriving by train or using train to visit other parts of Scotland. Rooms are good and breakfast is excellent

Being charged 500+GBP for Tuesday night compared with 300+ for Monday and Wednesday nights was a disappointment. A blended rate for each of the three days would attract less attention and angst.

Overall was well centered since it was close to the train station and to Edinburgh Castle.

Room was clean.

Room felt smaller than I thought. Never made it to have traditional breakfast since they end mid morning. The bathroom shower soap etc smelled to much for my liking. Felt it wasn’t a neutral scent but more of a manly scent.
