Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The location and staff at Garner Edinburgh Haymarket were the best! The staff at the front desk were so helpful, and the lobby was wonderful - warm beverages and a place to meet or take time to relax were very nice. This is just across from the Haymarket Station, which was super convenient because we took the tram from EDI airport, and then took the Scotrail to our next destination. We had a very "cozy" internal (no windows) room, which was tight for two siblings, but very clean and we were really just there to sleep. It actually really helped not to have windows since we flew in from the US and were trying to hit thr ground running with no jet lag."
