Positives-The Mercure is a modern hotel, the bedroom and en-suite were nicely decorated, comfortable bed and pillows Negatives-heating in room wasn’t working,I rang reception re same, male receptionist said he can control it from his desk. Waited an hour , room still cold…rang reception again spoke to female receptionist who said there was a problem with heating in the hotel and maintenance were working on it. She asked did we require electric heater..middle of winter , freezing outside and inside!!We got the heater which took a while to heat the room..no apology issued by staff. I felt that if it were known that there was a problem with heating in hotel , they should have informed all the guests and supplied heaters and extra duvets…not wait for guests to ask for heaters etc On the 3rd day of our stay , I asked again is heating fixed..they said no and offered an extra duvet!! Also there was a problem with water in the room..toilet wouldn’t flush and pressure in tap poor. Contacted reception, was informed there was a burst pipe. In fairness that was repaired in a few hours. Our stay began to feel like a stay in Faulty Towers😂 Wouldn’t stay in Mecure hotel again, it wasn’t good value for money..paid €680 for 3nights b&b , so it wasn’t t cheap.

I had a genuinely positive experience during my 3-night stay at the Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket. After reading a few negative reviews beforehand, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but my stay was excellent from start to finish. Clean, comfortable, accessible, and supported by a great team. I would happily stay here again. 🛏️ Room (Room 102) Clean, comfortable and well maintained Bed was very comfortable — slept well every night No noise issues at all, both inside and outside the hotel Accessibility in Room 102 was excellent Wi-Fi worked fine for everyday use Overall, a quiet and comfortable space to relax in 🚿 Bathroom Spotless on arrival and kept clean throughout Towels changed daily Good water pressure and temperature Exactly what you want from a hotel bathroom — simple, clean and functional 👩‍💼 Service & Staff Exceptional customer service — staff were consistently helpful and went above and beyond Check-in was smooth and efficient Check-out was seamless The hotel stored my suitcase after checkout, which made exploring the city much easier Staff created a welcoming and supportive environment from start to finish 🍽️ Breakfast Good selection of options Food was fresh, hot and regularly topped up Dining area was clean and well managed 📍 Location Perfect location for sightseeing and exploring the city Easy walking distance to key attractions, restaurants and transport links Ideal base for a city break 💷 Value for Money Great value for the quality of service, comfort and convenience Would definitely consider it again for future trips to Edinburgh ✔ Final Thoughts I highly recommend the Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket for solo travellers, families and work trips. The service, cleanliness, accessibility and comfort made it an excellent choice for my stay — and I genuinely don’t recognise the negative reviews I’d seen beforehand. My experience was extremely positive.

I am still disappointed to come to a hotel where we were not informed beforehand of the issue with the air con leading to being cold in the room. Staff was aware the day before our arrival. This is scotland and weather is pretty cold end of november. Unfortunately I was not the only one as we were 3 people queuing up to get portable heaters in our room.

Dear Jerome J. F. B., Thank you for sharing your experience. I apologize for the discomfort caused by the air conditioning issue during your stay, particularly given the chilly November weather. We understand that timely communication is essential, and I regret that you were not informed prior to your arrival. The use of portable heaters is an interim solution we provide when necessary, and I appreciate your understanding in this matter. Your feedback is valuable as we strive to enhance our guest experience. Goodbye and best regards, Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel

We stayed for 2 nights, pleasant enough. We came back the second day to find no house keeping had been done. Called down and they had said that house keeping had noted a do not disturb sign on the door, absolute rubbish. Bit inconvenient but not the end of the world. What was not acceptable was that I dont think they believed us

Dear Jonathan m., Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered regarding housekeeping services during your stay. It is our policy to respect the privacy of our guests, and I regret that this led to a misunderstanding. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will take it into consideration to enhance our service. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide a better experience in the future. Best regards, Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel

Stayed just around the corner from the conferance centre as was attending the event, room was nice & the bed comfy but breakfast was dissappointing, the orange juice looked old & tasted as such and the machine coffee was bad, not a good start to the day for me

Dear Irfanmr A., Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the location and comfort of your room. However, we regret that the breakfast experience did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the quality of the orange juice and coffee have been duly noted, as we strive to ensure all our offerings are of high standard. We appreciate your insights and hope to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel
