Hugh H 06/10/2020 TripAdvisor review
Mercure, Gardeners Crescent is a very nice hotel and still fresh despite having been opened for about five years. The extensive roadworks in Edinburgh do affect access to the Thistle car park which is the preferred one by the hotel and can be used at a good discount. Room 002 is comfortable and clean. The only negative was the breakfast. The scrambled eggs are barely scrambled and the potato scones were awful. Nevertheless we would recommend the Mercure as there are alternatives for breakfast nearby.
Pleasant room

I stayed during a weekend in February. The price was a little higher than normal due to the rugby match at Murrayfield, but the room was pleasant, clean, well-appointed and quiet. All the staff were helpful and friendly.
Best night's sleep- Very comfortable and relaxing

We had possibly the best night's sleep we've ever had at a hotel. The room was not super-flashy, but it had attention to detail in the right places to make it a very pleasant and comfortable stay. The hotel is a modern stone-effect building which is situated on the edge of the old town in the new Haymarket developments. It is a bit out of the way, but is an easy 10 minute walk from Haymarket train station and tram. We didn't want our hotel to be in the centre of the main tourist area anyway, because we wanted a bit of peace and quiet, and to be able to keep away from people, so this was really ideal. All main attractions were within easy walking distance, it's about a 15 minute walk to Grassmarket and a view of the Castle, and the beautiful Meadows park. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, especially with handling the Covid-19 restrictions, everything seemed very clean, and the Accor cleaning policies gave us confidence we were safe. The room seemed very soundproofed, we hardly heard any noises, either inside or out, and the curtains didn't let any daylight in, so I had the best nights sleep in ages. The bed was also extremely comfy and the choice of pillows was welcome. We were able to leave our bags at the hotel after we checked out so we could walk around, which was very useful. The area has some nice bars and eateries, especially around Fountainbridge and Lothian Road. Will definitely be revisiting again sometime.
