Solid stay near Haymarket
convenient location twin beds good restaurants
The location was convenient to Haymarket train station. Restaurants and cafes were within walking distance. I appreciated that the room had twin beds, which suited my preference (I move a lot when I sleep!).
The lack of on-site breakfast options was a minor drawback. I needed to walk a bit to find a suitable cafe in the morning.
