Market Street Hotel, Edinburgh

The location is perfect for travelling by trains that right next to train station. Complimentary mini bar in the room is awesome! Room is modern and clean.

The aircon is noisy that has an annoying humming sound.

Staff went out of their way for us, shower was incredible, comfortable and great location.

Cleaners loud early in the morning and woke us up early my banging on the door, we had no do not disturb sign

This hotel was weird in the best way, I really liked it, it’s about 50m from the smaller back entrance to Waverley station on the Royal Mile side, staff were great without exception, Keeley in the bar was especially kind and helpful, they seemed to have the time and the social skills to chat and make conversation, great as a solo woman traveller, the room was tiny but had more than what I needed and expected. Fancy Dyson hair dryer and free snacks and slippers were great. When I’d adjusted my mindset I even enjoyed the bathroom in the hallway set up, it made the area lighter and brighter. Very good location for shopping and eating. It’s one of those hotels with no ground floor presence it’s all upstairs including reception, great views from the bar area. I preferred this to the Malmaison where I usually stay. The only improvement I can think of would be earplugs and flannels. I heard a bit of celebration noise from the street but Scotland qualified for the World Cup that night so it was understandable. The bed was very good and the shower was good.

The bacon was smoked, dry and overcooked but I was at the end of the breakfast service, everything else was so nice I didn’t mind.

Our room was so spacious and comfortable with everything we needed, including a Nespresso and a kettle and even milk in the refrigerator along with other snacks and drinks. We had fluffy robes and slippers and our room was so quiet. Really made our very busy days into restful nights. And the staff was lovely.

Next time I might opt for a room with more natural light!

Every detail has been thought through from the generous size of the closets to the lovely hardwood floors. I was particularly grateful for the sleep mask with warming properties, which helped me combat jet lag, and the variety of (free!) items in the mini bar. The room could be darkened completely, and the temperature was easily and effectively controlled. I selected a room with a bath and separate shower, and each was lovely and served its purpose well. The room was absolutely silent at all times of the day and night, despite facing a relatively high-traffic street. And Waverly Station could not be more conveniently located! Views are outstanding, especially as the Christmas markets open. While my room was on a lower floor (which was fine with me, as my priority was the bathtub), the views are always accessible through the windows on the 7th floor in the bar/dining room. Gary, the concierge, was so kind and helpful -- he made me feel welcomed and right at home from the moment I arrived.

It hardly seems worth mentioning but I appear to be the only person in the world who doesn't understand how to use espresso pods. I'm returning to the hotel in a few days, and I plan to ask for more detail on how to make the gadget work.

Location

Breakfast nothing special

Our stay was exceptional. Location was perfectly situated right across from the train station but we never heard the trains. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make sure our stay was absolutely amazing! If you are going to Edinburgh I highly recommend staying at this property.

Great location. Very nicely furnished and all you needed and more

Very convenient

Great location, incredibly kind and polite staff.

It was quite warm in the room despite AC being set to the lowest temperature.

Great location

Food choices.. a burger would have been great

I lived the room’s attention to detail and the solid materials used to build it. It was comfortable and offered lovely lighting. The mini bar was great with local beverages to try and fresh milk for tea.

The staff were not clear that we needed to go back to the reception to receive our welcome glass of bubbles. When we went to enjoy our complimentary glass of champagne, the maître’d was not very helpful or communicative . We walked in towards the bar, he stopped us abruptly. He and another person were deep in conversation so we didn’t notice that we needed to stop and be greeted before sitting down. I said that we would like to have our introductory glass of bubbles and they took us to a table and gave us the menu. The service was confusing. I had to explain to the waiter that we were after our complimentary glass and he sent us to the reception desk to claim it, with a quick ‘they’re not the full measure.’ I went to reception and there was a kerfuffle because they had run out of glasses. It was just very clunky service that lacked finesse of more experienced hospitality. I said that any glass will do. It doesn’t have to be the right size. In other words the bar manager could have made it a more seamless and charming experience by anticipating our needs and adapting to the situation.

Had a great time here. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Free drinks on arrival and bar fridge in room with snacks. Very comfy bed and great shower. Would highly recommend this wonderful accommodation Thanks team.

Great location and exceptional service!! The loft bar and restaurant was lovely and totally generous with the mini bar - all complimentary! Also the welcome champagne was just the ticket 😎

Nice modern hotel. Excellent sized rooms. Free snacks and drinks. Perfect location.

Lack of a true lobby

Location was great, decor was outstanding. Free mini bar was a bonus. Very comfortable rooms. Well worth the stay.

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

All lovely

Lovely hotel in a very convenient location, just across the road from Waverley station. Very clean, comfy modern room and, completely complimentary minibar which is unheard of. Also Nespresso coffee maker and kettle. Really friendly and helpful staff, you also get offered a glass of champagne at check-in. Would definitely stay here again :)

Great location across the road from train station, 5 mins walk from Royal Mile. Spotless, great room with soundproof windows, comfy bed. Plenty of choice for breakfast & amazing. Staff exceptional, very knowledgeable of the area.

Nothing can't not like this hotel

Staff were excellent. Helpful, friendly and courteous.

Excellent location, very well maintained and clean. Good design using the space available.

A little strange having to take a lift to the 7th floor to find reception.

Clean and modern easy location to the centre.

Too close to the train station.

The AC was great- rooms very clean, staff real helpful.

I have NO complaints.

Right across the street from the train station with a close to the Royal Mile at the side of the building! Heavy wood panels at windows closed out the noise perfectly!

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

Lighting in bathroom poor during the night. Couldn’t cool the room down.

Very handy to everything, everything you need for a few days in Edinburgh.

No issues

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)
