Good Location

The Haymarket hotel is in a good location as it is close to the Haymarket Train Station and it’s walkable to Princess Street and the Royal Mile. The staff are kind and helpful. Our room was not very nice. It was below ground and the window didn’t open so it was very stuffy. It was a very noisy room as we heard every door slam, luggage rolling above us. We even heard hair dryers and coughing from nearby rooms. Our room was beside the exit which was occasionally left ajar. It felt a bit unsafe. The bed was lumpy The bathroom looked relatively new but due to the lack of airflow, had black mould in the grout. I feel like we may have had the worst room. We didn’t ask for a new room so I am not sure if we would have been moved. The pictures on their website were much nicer than what we experienced. They also advertise laundry facilities but when we asked where it was, we were told that it cost 20 pounds and it was sent away to a laundry service. That was disappointing.
This was where our room was situated.  It was next to the exit which had a loud banging sound when it closed. It didn’t feel very safe.

The hotel is super convenient. It is a 5 minute walk to the Haymarket station to get a train or the tram to the airport. The checkin and checkout are easy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in old townhouses with separate entrances. The bedroom is somewhat antiquated, but the bathroom is modern and clean. There are only stairs so if you have trouble with stairs or alot of luggage request a low floor. Overall I recommend it for the location, price, and staff.

This place is great. I would have given it 5 stars except for the bed. Mattress was absolutely awful. Buchan Room 12 dearly needs a new one. To say it 'sags' is an understatement. Everything else was lovely. Staff are all really great.

This hotel staff was nice, the property was cute however it needed a good dusting and the beds were horribly uncomfortable. There were garbage bins right outside our window that were emptied at 2 am everynight which woke us up as well.

Very nicely furnished and clean. Fantastic bakery/cafe across the street. While it wasn't super close to attractiions there was a Tesco, a fantastic bakery and some small businesses nearby to walk to. The hospitality was very good, some very nice younger stafffers made us feel very welcome. Just be aware there's no lift so if you have a lot of luggage it's something to consider.

A nice hotel with great staff

We really enjoyed our stay at the Haymarket. The staff were excellent and their breakfast was cooked to order. Location was very close to the Haymarket train station so very convenient. The only drawback was the hotel did not have an elevator. The hotel manager offered to move us to another one of their buildings but we elected to stay with our original room. At the end of the day, despite being on the top floor, the stairs were doable. Recommend staying.

Had a nice stay at the Haymarket. Older buildings that have been updated. Be aware that there is no off street parking available. We ended up booking a parking spot for our car up the street. They do have an app which is helpful to see what all is in the area. Basically a block away from the Haymarket Train Station and tram stop, making it super walkable and accessible to downtown and all of the tourist areas. The tram is super affordable and an easy way to get around, although be prepared to hike to Old Town either way. We did not partake in the hotel's bar or breakfast. There is lots of food options within just a few blocks, including a lovely cafe right next door. All in all, a nice stay here. Rooms were pretty clean and the one we booked was large which was nice.
