Edinburgh Hotel Guide - 2 star hotels in Haymarket, Edinburgh

The Hostel was a great experience. This was the first time I've stayed in a hostel and I'm extremely glad that I chose this one. I met some great people, and felt accepted from the moment we stepped into the room. The cleanliness of the place was great considering the amount of people staying in the room. (I think there were 16 altogether) The staff were helpful and the hostel was in an easy to find location. As a geek who only stayed in the hostel for one night so as to catch The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy at the Edinburgh Playhouse, I was dreading staying at the hostel, but the night was great all in all. In fact, The Hostel was one of the best parts of the night. I really would recommend this hostel. It truly was an experience and a half and I'd love to do the hostel thing for real.

The hotel isreally handy for Haymarket station. The staff were relaxed, pleasant and helpful

I was a bit concerned about the hotel as most places were booked for the golf weekend. However, the bed & breakfast was very warm and accommodative. We stayed 3 nights - 2 on the ground floor (1st post) and 1 in the Windsor Castle. Stephen, the manager is a super guy. The cook Harry makes an excellent breakfast and wouldn't stop brewing hot tea for us! Very nice to to the city by the gardens and other shops and stores. A pity that Edinburgh seems to be in construction due to the tramway . Guards is also right next to the Haymarket rail station. That was really convenient to hop on a train for Glasgow. Feel free to ask the hotel about any special requests and they can find a solution - we got ourselves an iphone charger, baggage storage when we went to the Highlands for a few days.
