What guests think

Across countless reviews, Market Street hotel is praised for its central, walkable location by Waverley Station, welcoming staff with thoughtful touches like champagne on arrival, and modern, quiet rooms packed with useful amenities such as complimentary minibars.

Many appreciate the Nor' Loft rooftop lounge and an enjoyable breakfast with city views. Common drawbacks include compact or occasionally windowless rooms, some design quirks or odors, and off-site parking plus hills or stairs to reach parts of the Old Town; check-in on the 7th floor can also feel awkward when busy. Expect a stylish, centrally located stay with standout service and thoughtful perks.

Great stay. Staff were lovely. Enjoyed Nor Loft-staff were friendly and welcoming. Perfect location and very modern. Only downfall is there was a sewage smell at times in the hotel but I’ve seen other comments that it’s to do with the old systems which is understandable

Amazing location being in Edinburgh, would def stay again. The room was perfect for what I needed as well as breakfast being included was a plus. The only and biggest downfall is the parking is a NIGHTMARE. I was driving a Hyundai Kona and the parking garage they suggested the entrance was so skinny I couldn’t get my car in without risking damaging it. While I understand that is a “me issue” I wish the property would communicate beforehand multiple parking options for their guests. I only knew about the one because after driving around for an hour looking I finally called them. I ended up parking in another garage connected to another hotel. If I didn’t have such a great experience in every other aspect I would consider staying elsewhere but I HIGHLY recommend this property.

Everything from arrival to check-out was great. Rooms were spacious and very clean, staff was super friendly, champagne on arrival (which we were allowed to check in very early), bar on the 7th floor was very nice, and in a very good spot in the city. Market Street Hotel is a fantastic place to stay.

The room was spotless and spacious, super comfy bed, complimentary mini bar and champagne on reception. The rooms had a Nespresso machine and milk frother, Dyson hair dryer, GHD straighteners, steamer, toothbrush, robes, slippers, it had it all. The champagne lounge on the 7th floor is a great spot for a drink with stunning views of the city. Kayleigh was amazing and very welcoming. I cannot wait to return, we’ll be back soon.

Check in was great, and the hotel took our bags a few days early and had them ready in our room. The main issue was a strong smell of sewage coming from the bathroom. When I raised this issue with the front desk, they said they would get maintenance to look into it. When we returned later in the day, the smell was worse and we received no further communication from the hotel.

The bedding needed to be changed it was covered in small hairs. When we asked for new bedding the receptionist and person bringing new bedding were not friendly and seemed put out. In addition, in the loft we had one bartender who was very dismissive when he learned we wouldn’t be eating or getting more than one drink. Other than that our stay was decent. We loved location and most staff were friendly.

This hotel over exceeded our expectations. Not only it was in a an amazing location, across from the train station (it was super quiet and couldn’t hear any street noises), the staff was super friendly greeting us with champagne and the rooms mini bar is complimentary. Yes, you can have whatever you want from the mini fridge and snacks at no additional cost. The hotel restaurant was amazing with a great view of the city and the staff was friendly and so pleasant. I recommend this hotel 100%. I swear I never leave reviews because I hate being that person and I’m super picky, but this one deserved a glowing review. Oh, I can’t fail to mention that the blow dryer is a Dyson dryer and the floor on the shower/toilet section was heated. The bed was super comfortable too. I will be looking for hotels of this chain going forward.

This hotel is a little different. You take the lift to the top where reception is, and the rooms are below:) The rooms are not so big, but we absolutely like the design. Our room was a little dark, but so nice. If we go to Edinburgh again, we will for sure visit Market Street Hotel again.

The best part about this property is the man at the concierge and the convenience to old town, Edinburgh sites, restaurants, train station, etc. The room itself was not a 4-star experience. The set up was our biggest complaint. Very very small. The shower didn’t have a curtain or door and got the entire bathroom soaking wet, including sink, floor and toilet, which was also unsafe. Small inconveniences like location of plugs, comfort of bed, no nightstand on one side of bed, no washcloths, etc. were a bit annoying and unexpected for a hotel rated 4 stars. Also the check in process was frustrating as we were supposed to be greeted with champagne but they didn’t have glasses and the room was about 20 minutes past check in time.

Great location next to Edinburgh Waverley station, and most attractions a walkable distance or transport links nearby if needed. Room was spacious with all the necessities and the complimentary mini bar and snacks available at the time was a nice touch. Due to the design of the building, the windows were a bit on the small side in our room, so natural light was a bit restricted. However, still a nice place to be overall. The bar upstairs is a nice place to have a drink if you fancy it, but there’s loads of restaurants, pubs and bars nearby.

Very tiny rooms! However, they were very nice & clean. The bar did not want to even let us in for a drink without a booking - even though we were guests of the hotel. The location of this hotel is on the very lowest level of the city center. If you have problems walking MANY stairs, you may want to find a hotel further up the hillside. All said and done, this is an upscale hotel so it is very nice. Just maybe a little more upscale than we are accustomed to.

Great location. Right next to the train station and amazing views of the city from the lounge. Great place to stay in Edinburgh. Our Room had A/C which was really needed in August. Only negative is that the room was extremely small. I had to walk sideways to get around the bed. I’m a small person so it didn’t bother me that much, but for my husband it was a little cramped.

Very poor serivice. My wife arrived ahead of me at midnight but they would not allow her to check in as they said it had to be the person who booked even though we had the same surname. When I eventuall arrived I had to wait outside until the staff member came to buzz me in even thoigh it was freezing and wet outside. When questioned the receptionist about check in he literally ignored my questions. When we eventually got checked in we were told we could not order a drink even to our room and only the mini bar was available which had a selection of over thought drinks that were not appealing. We also booked a room with a view but were on the first floor overlooking the main road

Overall, Market Street Hotel is in a wonderful location and has great, comfortable rooms at a reasonable price. The only thing that didn’t give it five stars was the check in process. They require you to go to the top floor, luggage in hand, to check in. When the line is long, it’s an extremely cramped space that is shared with their rooftop lounge.

We had a great stay at Market Street Hotel. The location, directly across the street from the Edinburgh Waverly train station made transportation to and from the airport easy while also being in the middle of the action, but still quiet. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the rooms were clean, quiet and lovely. There were complimentary drinks and treats in the room, with a great coffee maker and electric kettle for tea. We can't wait to return!

Great hotel and has an amazing bar over looking city. The hair dryer and straightener in room! So amazing !!! The bed is very very cozy! Sate place ! Coffee shop next door and the restaurant to the left is very good and great drinks! Everything is great except: beds are SMALL (full at best. Here is the main negative... the stairs!!! Anytime you go to the main areas at all to eat or tour it is a LONG LONG staircase up every time! Seriously it is a deal breaker! Inwould stay in a hotel up higher much higher. We are in shape but geez these are the most stairs ever! BE WARNED the stairs are a lot!!!!! Brings my review done from 5 star to 3 star LOCATION!
