Edinburgh Hotels with balcony

Market Street Hotel is absolutely incredible! From the staff who are warm and welcoming, with a wealth of knowledge of the local area, to the room with the amazing shower, dressing robes and slippers, the stocked fridge and comfiest bed I have slept in, the hotel is perfect. I can’t wait to come back to Edinburgh and stay here again.

The hotel was lovely and in a convenient location. We only stayed for one night but managed to make use of the wonderful spa and gorgeous breakfast. The spa staff were unbelievably friendly and accommodating to all our needs. It is easy to get into Edinburgh City Centre either by use of the Park and Ride (10 mins away) or drive in (30 mins). If you book, make sure you add on the breakfast, you will not be disappointed!

The hotel is perfectly situated right on the Royal Mile – the location is absolutely superb! It's just an 8-minute walk from the train station. Be aware that there are some steps along the route, which might be a bit of a workout if you're carrying heavy suitcases. It's a very family-friendly hotel. The bedroom has a large bed, and the living room sofa converts into a double bed, comfortably accommodating two adults and two children. Our room was incredibly clean, newly renovated, and surprisingly quiet. Even though the Royal Mile is bustling with street performers and activities, we couldn't hear any noise from our room at all. Having amenities like a washing machine and oven in the room was a huge plus. Just a note: toothpaste, toothbrushes, and slippers aren't provided as standard. We brought our own dental kit, so we only needed to ask the front desk for slippers. Breakfast is served à la carte; you order what you like, and top-ups are available if you're still hungry. Edinburgh Castle is a mere 5-minute walk to the right from the hotel's entrance, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby – incredibly convenient!

The apartment is half an hour's drive from the city center, but there is a bus downstairs to the city center, which is quite convenient. The apartment is fully equipped, there are cooking tools, and the room is large. However, the water pressure in the toilet of the high-rise unit (5th floor) is insufficient. The unit is old and uses a water storage hot water stove. If many people take a shower, you need to wait for a while. Self check in, check out, hand in information and £100 deposit will be provided after the mailbox password lock key. Pay the deposit with credit card, the money will be returned 5 to 10 days after check out, but if you do not use the Bank of England account, you do not know that the bank will not charge a handling fee.

The location is fantastic! It's just a 4-minute walk from the train station, and there's a large shopping mall right downstairs, making one-stop shopping super convenient. Victoria, the manager at the front desk, was incredibly warm and helpful. When she learned we weren't happy with our room's orientation, she specially reserved a room for us on our next booking, giving us a wonderful view that really lifted our spirits. The downsides are that the bathroom is really tiny; there's no space for toiletries. Also, housekeeping response time is extremely slow, over half an hour. Plus, the pillows are very high and uncomfortable, giving me a stiff neck!

I really enjoyed my four days. Wonderful hotel the team was very friendly and helpful at all times of the day. Great location easy to get to from the Station/airport. Good trams service along Princes Street. Plenty of buses along South Bridge which is a short walk. Enjoyed the spa facilities especially the swimming pool. The lounge near the reception area is a little chilly but a nice spot to relax with a warm drink. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would recommend. Rooms Good size room, fantastic shower and products. Bed was very comfortable. It was a tad cold so I requested a blanket which was very snug. Bonus having a fridge and complimentary water nice touch. Tea/coffee try was good but would be great to have some hot chocolate. Nearby activities Holyrood Palace and gardens on your doorstep along with great views of Arthur Seat. Five minutes walk to the Royal Mile. Food and drinks There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel. I found the food a bit hit and miss to be honest. Breakfast is great with a great choice in food for all palettes. Warm friendly service.

Hygiene: Excellent. Housekeeping came to clean every day and asked for feedback. The bathroom with separate wet and dry areas was very clean. Location: Situated on Victoria Street, making it convenient to get to nearby attractions. Facilities: The TV supported screen mirroring, and everything felt quite new. It was a comfortable stay.

Everything was great except for the price. I happened to check the price on the day of my stay when I was looking for service, and it was 50% cheaper than when I booked it. Over 500, my heart aches. International hotels usually have a strict no-cancellation policy a few days before arrival. Well, you win some, you lose some.

Wonderful location with an adorable room. I also bought a some food for a pack lunch for a tour the next day but there wasn’t a fridge and the staff was super helpful by keeping the food in a fridge until the morning for me.

Room was very small and didn't feature in the photos. Bathroom good. Kitchen including fridge could do with a good scrub. People didn't clean up after themselves. Good location.
