Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel 4 stars

The rooms are lovely and the hotel well located The only downside is that the restaurant and bar area is quite limited Given the location this is not a problem

All positive

The hotel is very pleasant, the staff professional, polite and friendly. The breakfast was really good, fried breakfast, cereals, fruit, bread and pastries. The hotel is in a very quiet setting. The only slight problem was I found the hotel a bit too far from the centre of Edinburgh. If staying there for a few days it's not too much of an issue. I did discover a bus that would take you into the centre but on a Sunday runs every 20-30 minutes.

Friendly staff, good location.

The hotel is very handily located nearby the likes of Princes Street and the museum. It's brilliant for any kind of stays.

Clean, well-appointed room. Room was below ground level and so dull, and even though I turned off the system in the room, the noise from the heating system around the room was annoying. Breakfast very good.

The hotel is very nicely located. The rooms are very pleasant, clean, comfy and warm. It was an overall good experience. The handwritten welcome note and the small gifts were a really nice touch. Parking is a bit problematical. Also, it seems that the staff is still not used with online check as the precharge from the online check in was never used and it's still stuck with the bank, while a new charge was added, even after this was explained to the reception.

Lovely staff, comfortable room

We loved the room we had been assigned and were looking forward to sleeping on the very comfy bed but we had a bit of a nightmare trying to figure out how to leave a little bit of light on so we could find our way to the bathroom during the night (and also so we wouldn't step on our dog, who had come with us). With the bathroom light on, the room was too bright (as light shines through the opaque bathroom door), but with no lights on, it was too dark. We ended up sleeping with the radio on on the TV as it was the least disruptive way we could think of of having some light. The other issue which kept us awake or woke us up was the heating. The room was quite comfortable, if not slightly cool, before we went to bed but we were both overheating a great deal after about an hour in bed and had to get up and fiddle about with the air con which we then had on the rest of the night. So, unfortunately, we had quite a disrupted night. There should really be some way of having the bathroom mirror light on and nothing else - just so that you can find your way to the bathroom without too much light flooding the bedroom. Otherwise, the room was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful though it was difficult to reach a member of staff the next morning when we phoned down to ask for a slightly later check-out time due to lack of sleep!

As expected with minor comments - I found one of the receptionists English a bit hard to follow. There was no stool chair in the room to allow me to work at the 'desk' - I managed on the sofa. Disappointed to discover that there was no dinner service but the room service was fine albeit I waited perhaps longer than expected. That might be something you consider as hgaving travelled for some 3 hours, I had hoped to have dinner in the restaurant.

This one night stay was originally booked for 23rd Feb 2020, but due to a concert cancellation your staff at the hotel changed my reservation, without quibble, for 25th Feb. The hotel was ideally situated for my needs, the room welcoming and clean, and the breakfast selection was extremely good. On top of this, all of the staff that I encountered were charming, friendly and very helpful.

Impersonal and lacking any personality. Reception staff snooty and aloof. Only friendly staff member was room cleaner. Double room tiny. No bath. No storage space. Too far from centre to walk. Character less and void of atmosphere. Breakfast ok. About the best thing. Would not recommend.

Have stayed here many times and the last time I said I wouldn’t come back, so glad I did as there is new reception staff and they couldn’t do enough for you

Great

excellent room & facilities, very clean, staff very attentive and an enjoyable experience to stay, the only downside was the buffet breakfast which was perfect in its choices and availability, but the food had obviously been kept warm for some time. I know this is difficult to anticipate when the guests will be arriving for breakfast and it would be difficult to 'Time' the cooking of the food however it was a little disappointing, other than that we would certainly recommend the hotel and enjoy a return visit
