“The Haymarket Hotel's location, near the train station and Haymarket area, makes it an easy base for exploring Edinburgh. While the building has charm with its Victorian architecture, potential guests should consider that some past guest experiences mention issues with noise and cleanliness. I think it mainly suits travelers prioritizing location and transport links over a pristine, quiet environment.”

The room was very spacious. Good beds were available. The staff packed breakfast for us in advance because we were leaving early. That was VERY kind. The location is convenient, near the train station and tram stop.
The room was very basic. It also seemed very tired. The bathroom was particularly bad. The electric shower did not work properly on our last day.
