charming stay near haymarket

train station coffee machine comfortable sitting room
i found the location convenient. it was just a short walk to the train station (making travel easy). the communal kitchen had a wonderful coffee machine. the free fruit was a lovely touch. i also liked having access to the comfortable sitting room with a large tv.
the self check-in system felt a little impersonal. i missed having the option for luggage storage before check-in. this was a minor inconvenience considering the overall positive experience.

Excellent stay, close to station

excellent location easy access clear access codes
I found the location excellent. It provided easy access to transportation. The pre-registration process was good, access codes were clear. Coffee in the lobby was a nice touch. Cable television and wifi worked well.
The digital key system relies on internet access. If your phone dies or lacks data, entry becomes problematic.

The provision of complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits was beneficial. Shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom were a welcome addition. The bed was also comfortable after a long day of travel.

great amenities and convenient location

train station easy check-in communal facilities
The location was excellent. It was close to haymarket train station, shops, and restaurants. the area was also quiet. i found the check-in and check-out process super easy because i only needed a code. communal facilities such as the lounge and coffee machine were a bonus. I especially appreciated the coffee machine.
i found the room dusty. it triggered my dust mite allergy immediately! even the bathroom fan was clogged with dust.
