“Eliza House has a distinct, nostalgic charm; stepping inside felt like a trip back to the 1970s with its decor and quirks. The location is superb, just moments from Haymarket train station, making it easy to get around, and the staff are very accommodating, quickly resolving any issues that arose during my stay. For travelers who value location and a unique, budget-friendly experience, this could be just the ticket, as long as one appreciates the building's heritage.”

a decent stay near haymarket station

great locationearly check-injanky showersteep stairs
the location is great near transport lines. staff let me check in early after my early morning flight. it was really appreciated. tea and coffee were available in the lobby. i did not use these, but the option was nice.
the shower was not good and easily fixed. i had to give the key to them every time i left. i have not seen this before. the stairs were a climb. i had small luggage so it was not a big deal.

musty smellunhygienic towels
The room i had was disappointing. it smelled musty, a strong air freshener didn't help. plus, i found that the towels i left on the floor weren't changed. They were just folded and put back. it felt a bit unhygienic and not what i expected.

convenient locationlight snacksbaggage service
the location proved convenient for navigating the city while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere. light snacks and drinks were available each morning. the staff accommodated early baggage drop-off and late pick-up until 4 pm. i had to carry my luggage up a few flights of stairs.
the bathroom was very small. the shower setup felt somewhat awkward.

Pastries and coffee were available. I saw these set out in the morning. there was no formal breakfast service available, however, the snacks provided sufficed. many pubs and cafes are a short walk away.
