Everything you needed. The only concern was the placement of the microwave, we had to use a stool at first to be able to work out how to use it as it was high up. The owners were very accommodating and couldn't fault. Will return if we visit Edinburgh again."

Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket

Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket

📍 24-26 Eglinton Cres, Edinburgh
★★★ 6.9 (46 reviews)

"The room was not properly clean when we arrived; there were hairs in the bathtub and dust on the surfaces. The room was not cleaned on any day during our stay. We arrived on a Wednesday and, even after informing them that we needed the trash to be emptied, they didn’t do it until Saturday, and they gave us towels with an unpleasant smell. I asked for toilet paper and the reception staff gave me no explanation; I had to buy it at the supermarket. It’s shameful — this is not an apartment or an aparthotel, and they don’t provide any cleaning tools either. The floor is extremely noisy. Breakfast is far too basic. There is no wardrobe in the room.The mattress on the large bed was very sunken in the middle.It’s a very basic hotel just for sleeping, but with absolutely no room cleaning, which becomes extremely uncomfortable if you stay for several days.I chose the room in advance and paid an extra fee, basing my decision only on the size, the floor and the location. The room was spacious, but it didn’t make up for the complete lack of cleanliness.The renovation of the rooms is very basic; it’s not a real refurbishment, just a superficial ‘makeover’: wallpaper on the walls (slightly peeling in some areas), doors painted white, and not much else.."

"The location was very good but I am not satisfied with the services. You have to pay for the lock pads. I booked it through trip.com and got a very high price. I requested to cancel my booking but the hotel didn't agree."

Beaverhall Holiday Apartments ★★★
"Great apartment with all you could need for a weekend away. Felt like a little home away from home. Easy walking to Botanic Gardens. Tesco and Lidl close by. Nice ice cream cafe nearby too. We stayed in Flat 1. Perfect for a couple, but did have pull out beds for the kids. The rest of our group stayed in flat 3. It’s a lovely big space with nice kitchen and dining table. Would definitely recommend and will be back!"

Britannia Edinburgh Hotel ★★★
"This hotel is close to the National Gallery of Scotland and 2 km from Edinburgh Castle. It's affordable, sometimes even cheaper than a youth hostel, so I would recommend it considering the overall price."

Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket ★★★
"Reception was fuss-free, typical travelodge and easy to do. I was allocated my room (LG-03) in the lower ground, which sounded ok. I headed down and the corridors seem to just get smaller and smaller. After following the rat run, I ended up at my room at the end of the corridor between the lift and stairs. It was huge, however only had one heater. It turns out (after realising), the room is directly below the cafe-bar which means constant scraping of chairs and moving of feet above. The room was cold, loud and unfortunately not a great nights sleep."

"This is a good option in the summer season. In other seasons hotels in Edinburgh are not that expensive so those will be better options than this student dorm."
