Market Street Hotel

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The reception for this hotel is up on the 7th floor, to make the most of it’s fabulous views & balcony space, which is a little strange when you first arrive, as it doesn’t look all that inviting from ground level! That said, the views up on the 7th are great & with the glass balconied terrace, as well as lofty mirrored seating areas around the bar (also breakfast area in the mornings), you can soak up the great views with a drink & very comfortable seating spaces. A glass of complimentary champagne on arrival as a nice touch ! All staff were so welcoming & friendly & made you feel very relaxed & cared for. Our room, whilst not overly large, was so well sound proofed & quiet & had all you could wish for …. slippers, bath robes, brolly, hair dryer, super comfy bed, the rain shower was sublime, we appreciated our steamer for creased clothes, rather than an iron & were very impressed with the varied selection of complimentary drinks in our mini bar. Also liked the shutter/door that closed over our window & blocked out all daylight. Breakfast selection was good/varied with continental & cooked options. Just by Waverley station it has a great location, with most sights right on your doorstep, albeit with quite a few steep hills & stairs to climb!!! Would highly recommend & thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
