Can't take credit for picking this hotel, but we loved it. Our travel agent picked this place, and she chose wisely.||First, location. Directly across the street from the main train station in Edinburgh. Can't beat that. …

A beautiful hotel. The rooms are modern yet comfortable and very well appointed. Everything about our time in this hotel has been pleasant. We've enjoyed every minute. The coffee bar in the room has everything needed and the soaps and shampoos are uniquely scented... both woody and floral. The champagne bar up top is a treat.

The location ,personel and the room. All were perfect. The old city and the museums are all easily accessible. The mini bar was quite adequate. This is the first time we get slippers in a European hotel. The staff at the reception was quite helpful. especially Bora the supervisor was quite kind and helpful.

Starting out with a complimentary glass of champagne after a long day of train travel was most welcome. The location is perfect to explore the area by foot, the accommodations were outstanding. It had a spa like feeling. They also packed us a beautiful breakfast as we had to leave very early in the morning

The room was very small, but clean and tidy. Loved the lighting. The breakfast was decently laid out and had a fair selection of hot meal options. Not a big fan of the pulpy OJ, but that’s just nitpicking.

The hotel was clean and comfortable with exceptional staff service. The restaurant is very good with great views from its seventh floor location. The hotel location is ideal for visiting many of the most interesting sites in Edinburgh, both in Old Town and New Town. This hotel provides quality at an appropriate price point.

The location and staff of Market Street Hotel are superb. After 30hrs of travel and arriving at 10am, we were hoping for an early check in. Thankfully our room was available and we were able to check in at no extra charge and have a welcomed shower. Peter, the Concierge is a gem and his knowledge, manner and helpfulness is above excellent. The Reception and wait staff are friendly and very helpful. The cleaner on our floor was excellent and the room was always clean and stocked with snacks. My only gripe was the bed pillows were lumpy - a minor issue. I would highly recommend staying here and I surely would again without hesitation. Should be 5 star ⭐️
