Market Street Hotel

Market Street Hotel occupies number 6 on Market Street, opposite the Waverley area. It describes itself as a design hotel and makes Nor' Loft, its seventh-floor bar with views towards the New Town, part of its identity. The rooms mix contemporary fittings with Edinburgh references, but categories differ in size and outlook. According to the official site, a Cozy room faces nearby buildings and closes, while Vista rooms sit higher and look across the city. That distinction matters more than a general picture of the building.

Guest comments often praise the location, design, staff and breakfast. Some also mention the size of particular rooms and the cost of extras, so read precisely what each rate includes. The website describes breakfast at Nor' Loft for residents, while its FAQs say truly separated twin beds are available only in a limited number of rooms on request. Travellers with accessibility needs can ask for a Cozy Accessible room with a roll-in shower and specified aids; requesting the exact category before paying is safer than assuming any room will fit.

Number 6 Market Street is steps from Waverley and the climb to the Royal Mile, though being beside the station does not remove Old Town's slopes. The site notes that the hotel and Waverley car park are inside Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone, relevant for drivers. The guest listing displays a customer score, while some search services call the property four-star: these are different measures, and the category is not inferred from the guest rating. This hotel suits travellers who want the accommodation itself to be part of their city experience rather than just a bed near the train.
