This was a good location for our stay in Edinburgh. A bit of a long walk to the Royal Mile but close by Haymarket Train Station and a handy tram stop to get you to the center of town. The room was large but the bathroom tiny, especially for three of us. But it was fine and although the hotel offers continental and menu breakfast it’s also near a few cafes and coffee stops.

Quaint neighborhood close to tram

The location was excellent! Quaint neighborhood and close to the tram and busses. Our rooms were smaller than expected, but we just slept there one night so it was fine. We were on the lower level and our room was a little musty and damp at first. The staff was very friendly and cooperative and brought us a fan which helped for sleeping. We could not find a vent for the bathroom so everything was damp in the bathroom from the shower, which added to the humidity of the room. I would guess the higher temps added to the warmer rooms so probably not always an issue. Overall, for the location, was a good stay and we would stay there again, just not the lower level.

Poor quality-price ratio

The hotel is not too bad but way overpriced for what it is. They have us one face towel for two people. The bath towels are nice but the shower had some mould. The hotel has rooms across 6 buildings (one next to each other). I booked 2 rooms several months ago and the rooms were in separate buildings and both in the basement (which wasn't clear when I booked). One of the rooms was by the front of the building so you could hear people getting in and cars driving by. Overall, very expensive for what it is.

We stayed here for one night in our spacious room for a convenient walk over to the Oasis concert at Murrayfield stadium. Staff excellent, kind and courteous... they gave us welcome gifts (branded Oasis items) which was such a nice touch and allowed us to keep our bags with them for the majority of the day whilst we went around Edinburgh. Really fantastic location.

Ok hotel, poor service

We stayed here on a weekend with 2 big events in town, so prices were understandably high. But for well over £300 the hotel felt dated and the service was extremely poor. One guy was dealing with check ins and the bar. He had to take people out the hotel and up the street to other buildings. We waited 20 mins for a drink. The room itself looked like it was once nice, but in need of decoration. Our room was on the bottom floor of a building 6 doors up. We were woken up every time someone came in the front door.

The Haymarket Hotel and surrounding properties are located in a quiet suburb of Edinburgh. Easy to transport links and if you like a to walk about 40 minutes from the Centre of Edinburgh The town houses are of traditional design with original features and neutral colour schemes. Staff were lovely and helpful however they do have their work cut out in respect to the failing conditions of this hotel and its other sister buildings. My room was okay , however a little tatty around the seems , sad because the heart of the hotel is amazing. I was sad to find bed bug activity as I had been bitten and have had to ensure I hadn’t had any uninvited guests in my luggage as I didn’t want those little beasts in my home . I did suffer noise disturbance due to noise from above which with vibration turned my chandelier into some kind of singing instrument. I feel that the staff work hard at keeping visitors happy but this aging building is letting them all down . Need a through refurb , however it was the cheapest hotel to stay in during the fringe , so good value for the price . I wish this hotel well but it does needs some investment or unfortunately it is going to be left behind , shame as it is a wonderful building and deserves to do well .

The hotel is a series of Georgian mansions that line the street. The room was spacious and lovely. There were breakfast options (not included) and a nice bar for a nightcap. Staff members were friendly and helpful. It is just a few blocks from Haymarket Station several busses, and the tram.

In this survey we just realised we had booked this hotel room through Expedia, and we didn't receive this VIP access room when we checked in as this was not honoured by Haymarket Hotel. Our room had 1 window that didn't open much. We will follow up with Expedia. We were placed in the Stuart building on the top floor, with no AC or a fan during a heat wave in Edinburgh. On request we were given a fan on the second day. We believe we were bitten on night 1 by bed bugs and this showed up 2 days later when we were checking out, not knowing what this was, we went to the chemist when we got to Belfast and they confirmed this. We notified the hotel of being bitten by bed bugs (attached picture) but they denied this upon investigation. We requested a refund for the poor stay and was not given anything to this day. Guest beware and do your own checks so you don't end up like us with over 200 bites. These bites caused us concern and embarrassment as we just started our vacation and had to manage ourselves with online chat to a doctor, chemists and medication to see us through. We also took all our clothes to the laundry at Belfast to make sure we were free of the bugs. Take photos of any proof you may need later as we didn't take the photos of the black spots on the sheets and the squashed bed bug blood. We have travelled a lot and never knew/experienced this until the Haymarket Hotel. Now back home we are still getting over the nightmare we went through.

Lovely, but noisy.

The rooms are beautiful, however, there was no noise insulation. Our room was lower ground floor at the front. We could hear traffic outside (no double glazing), as well as hearing every person who passed by our window and came in to the building. Some guests were inconsiderate with the noise, especially late at night (midnight and 2am), but even with those guests who weren't being loud, you still heard them. The breakfast was excellent, and the setvice was quick. The dining room it was served in was lovely - in fact the whole place was lovely, just wished they had better noise insulation.
