Joivy Haymarket - A Victorian townhouse EDI hotel with shared kitchen and central West End location

Located in Edinburgh's West End, this 4-star guesthouse occupies a Victorian townhouse 0.5 miles from Edinburgh International Conference Centre. The Joivy Haymarket provides rooms with flat-screen TVs, seating areas, and private bathrooms equipped with walk-in showers and free toiletries. A shared kitchen allows guests to prepare their own meals, while a common area features a television and WiFi access. The property includes luggage storage, laundry facilities, and dry cleaning services. Tour and ticket assistance is available at the front desk. Positioned 15 minutes' walk from Princes Street, this EDI hotel stands 1 mile from Edinburgh Castle and Royal Mile, 1.5 miles from BT Murrayfield Stadium, and 1 mile from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Eight restaurants operate within 0.3 miles of the property, including Vietnam House Gallery Cafe and Ryrie's Bar.

Pros

Victorian architectural features preserved in the townhouse structure

Eight diverse dining options within 984.3 ft

Common area with television for guest socializing

Front desk provides tour booking assistance

Cons

Attic room requires climbing a 10-foot ladder to reach the bed

WiFi only available in public areas, not in rooms

“The Haymarket's Victorian charm certainly stands out. Its location is a genuine advantage, especially with transport links right outside, making airport trips a breeze. While some may find the self-check-in modern, the overall experience balances convenience with a touch of Edinburgh's history.”

mixed feelings about this stay

convenient locationelectronic accessunreliable system
the location near public transport was convenient for getting around.
the electronic access system was a real hassle. i didn't have my passport to complete the online form and this meant calling a number upon arrival. it took about 45 minutes to sort out, very unpleasant and unreliable

the location proved very convenient. the haymarket train station was a short walk away. i found quick responses via the chat when i had questions. i appreciated the two living room areas with a coffee machine.
my room was not thoroughly cleaned. i found dust in the room. i also saw small insects in the bathroom. opening the doors with the digital key took time.
