Market Street hotel, hotel in Edinburgh

Located in the center of Edinburgh, just a few minutes’ walk from the Royal Mile and 650 yards of The Real Mary King's Close, Market Street forms part of Edinburgh’s historic skyline.

The bed was extraordinarily comfortable. The shower was great with strong water pressure and shower heads in the ceiling. There were also big plush bathrobes which I appreciated. The complimentary mini bar was a real treat with a variety of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages and sweet treats restocked everyday.

St. Giles Cathedral

During the 16th-century Protestant Reformation, the fiery sermons of John Knox echoed around this imposing Gothic church. As a result, it's seen as the center of Presbyterianism in Scotland. But you don'€™t have to be religious to feel moved by the stained-glass Scottish Saints window or the Thistle Chapel's intricate heraldic carvings.
