Top Vennel Steps Hotel Reviews

Novotel Edinburgh Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Good location"

Market Street Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable room in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. We loved our stay overall and thought the staff at reception and throughout the hotel were great. The only thing I’d say is that the minibar replenishment was intermittent. While it was supposed to be refilled every day, we found that wasn’t the case, and finding a solution wasn’t straightforward when flagged with reception."
