Good value
Got an early check in and a better room than I booked. Free WiFi but the signal was weak. Apart from that everything else was great

Like being trapped in a basement
Ever wondered what it would feel like to be buried alive and are you prepared to pay to find out? Then check in to Mercury Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel. My room was two floors below ground, with a tiny window where I could see a sliver of the sky if I angled my head steeply. There was no 4G connection to speak of this deep underground. To make it worse the WiFi was not working properly, because they had stupidly scheduled an upgrade just before the NYE holiday, when BT engineers were guaranteed to be on holiday and not able to come and fix it. I lost three days of work time. Finally the window wouldn’t close on the night that temperatures dropped below freezing and I was moved to a different room. This one was above ground, but at this stage I just wanted to check out and leave. I wouldn’t want to be back here even if I was dead. Avoid if you can.

Lovely, convinient stay
Lovely stay and lovely hotel, great, quiet location but still close to everything.
Wish there was a smart TV though for when we needed to chill in the room.

Great clean comfy hotel
Everything was excellent except the fact their door lock system was down and we needed concierge to open the door every single time. However, they were always available and fast on that: I see that issue in predictable and that does not effect how good the stay was.

Very good and convenient location
Comfy twin room, well designed and furnished. Very convenient for Haymarket side of town.
Minor things stopping it from getting 5 stars in my review -
The room keys weren’t being programmed properly so had to be escorted to the room each time (friendly and polite staff though!).
The refillable bottles of shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom were both empty.
My room was above the main entrance and there was an extremely noisy lorry outside delivering something at 7am in Saturday morning.
I used a herbal teabag (as I drink uncaffeinated) but the next day was replenished only with regular caffeinated tea bags.

No Guinness!!
A very modest, clean and fairly contemporary hotel, approximately 10 minutes walk from Haymarket station. A little off the beaten track and you have to walk for about 10 minutes before you find a few bars and restaurants. The room was comfortable and had a very contemporary en-suite with walk in shower. I only had 2x gripes: the AC was a bit hit n miss and I couldnt regulate the temperature. The other issue was there was no Guinness on tap in the bar!! Small mercies!
