adequate stay near haymarket
bus connections city centre train station sound isolation narrow stairs luggage carrying
i found the bus connections to be very convenient. there are frequent buses to the city centre. the proximity to haymarket train station was also a plus for me. it's about a 10-minute walk with various bars and restaurants nearby.
the sound isolation wasn't great. i could hear other guests quite clearly, especially when doors were being closed. also, there wasn't an elevator, so i had to carry my luggage up the narrow stairs. this made things a bit difficult.

The location is great for accessing public transport. A bus stop nearby offers frequent service to the city center. I was allowed to leave my bags before check-in and after check-out. The staff were helpful. I noted the provision of information on halal food delivery, a considerate touch.
I found that the shower wasn't always providing hot water consistently, although the sink had hot water readily available.

Basic Stay with Noticeable Issues
bar noise weak shower pressure
The noise was a problem. I could hear everything from the bar downstairs. It made sleeping difficult. The room needed better soundproofing. I found the bathroom quite cramped and the shower pressure was weak. These issues impacted my overall stay negatively.
