“What struck me is the hotel's location near Haymarket Railway Station-ideal for getting around-and its dog-friendly approach, a real plus if you're traveling with a pet; I also noted the Victorian architecture, which adds character, though some rooms could use an update. Despite some inconsistencies reported with room maintenance and Wi-Fi, the friendly staff and Scottish breakfast stand out. It's a solid base for exploring Edinburgh if those factors align with your priorities.”

solid stay near haymarket

decent room size useful location luxurious decor helpful staff
The room size was decent. I liked the presence of a hairdryer, iron, and ironing board. decor in the reception and breakfast area felt luxurious. the hotel's location near the train station and tram stop was really useful. the staff were friendly and helpful. I found this aspect particularly strong.
My room faced the street and i noticed some noise from the trams passing by. It was slight but noticeable.

decent stay near transportation

convenient location bag storage tasty breakfast worn carpet insecure lock lack of double lock
the location is great. it is only two minutes from the haymarket station and the tram stop. i left my bags at the hotel before check in so i could explore without them. breakfast was good with tasty options.
the stair carpet was worn. i noticed the lock on the main front door could be opened by the same key to my room. travelling alone, this concerned me. there was no way to double lock the door from the inside.
