    Our room was in the building to the right of the main building: The Wifi connected, but with no internet access. We mentioned this at reception and the Wifi was reset. But later it didn’t have access to the internet again. I didn’t bother asking about it again.

    Clean, very convenient to Haymarket Station, comfortable. Good breakfast.

    I got room in the basement, so I had to go thru some narrow stairs. I firstly didn't believed that this passage is for guests

    breakfast and service were great. Maybe continental breakfast is enough. Stuff was super helpful and nice. Best part for me was the location. Next to the tram station with direct connection to airport.

    We left our bags there as we couldn’t check in. When we returned later, had bags were just left in the bar and they had to search to find them.

    Beds are not the most confortables and the hotel is not as close as we thought to the old town.

    Beautiful spacious room with a nice breakfast although we had to wait as not as much space to fit everyone.

    Our room had windows on the street side and there was some noise from the cars during the night.

    Very good location, close to train station and tram stop. 15minute walk to city center. Room very spacious and clean, but not luxurious. Breakfast good in both quality and quantity, however not a big variety.

    I rented two rooms, one for me and my bf, and one for my parents . Ours was very cosy, their, however, felt excessively big. So, their feedback: brown headboards were a bit overpowering in the whiteness of the room, there was no rug under the cute round table with chairs to bring cosiness which also led to scratched floors. My parents loved our room with the statement wallpaper and art over the headboard, but disliked theirs as it felt big, white, empty. Just feedback, nothing major to complain about. Personally, I would recommend putting a silicone thing on the shower cabin floor, it was slippery. And the breakfast utensils downstairs could be handled in a more undisturbing hour, like after 8am or before 10pm. We could hear the cling-clang noises.

    I wanted to stay at a little more traditionally-decorated place, and the Haymarket Hotel totally had the vibes - high ceilings, high windows, chandeliers, big bed headboards, etc. Tea, instant coffee in the room, iron, hair-dryer, everything needed. The location was convenient - close to the train station and tram, and bus stops. Overall, I would stay there again. I liked my stay.

    The bed pillows were not that comfortable as they were not fluffy enough.

    Near tne city centre yet the hotel's location is very quiet that made us sleep soundly at night.

    Room size: I booked a single room and it is smaller than expectation. Opening the window takes some effort. Noise insulation: Within the room I can hear doorbell for guests going through front desk, and the conversations.

    Staff: Very friendly and attentive Location: Very convenient location, easily accessible and close to public transportation including trams, buses, and national rail services. Tesco market nearby. Room cleanliness Room is very well illuminated with a very high ceiling.
