It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

"Didn't love the order from your table and remember the number because when you're alone, your table is gone when you return."

Forth House by Supercity Aparthotels

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very conveniently located to the Royal Mile and was easy to get to from the airport via the Tram. The front desk employees were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and spacious. The kitchen was fully stocked (even if we never cooked!) The area has numerous places to eat. Would definitely recommend."

"Small room, no hot water in shower."

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 2 nights, reception was on 7th floor, our room was on floor 1 so we did not see reception after check in. The hotel is right across from the train station (Waverly) which is so nice when you are pulling several bags! The room was nice, had a sink separate from the shower/ toilet which I like. Our shower drain was poor and you had to keep turning the water off to let it drain, but using the handheld sprayer worked fine. It is so close to the Royal Mile, shops, restaurants and attractions. Would stay there again, but hopefully with better drainage!"
