The Spotlight on Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel

Stylish Comfort Steps from the Edinburgh Music Scene

Modern and convenient, the Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel is a sleek city-center stay with a contemporary vibe. Located just a short walk from both the Edinburgh International Conference Centre and Haymarket train station, this hotel puts you right in the heart of the action without sacrificing comfort. Rooms feature USB charging ports, free high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a mini-bar, making it easy to recharge—your phone and yourself—after a night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans love how close the hotel is to major venues—just a 3-minute walk to one of Edinburgh’s busiest event spaces and under 10 minutes to Haymarket station for late-night connections. The 24-hour front desk means no stress getting in after a show, and soundproofed rooms offer a quiet space to recover from the excitement. Fast Wi-Fi and in-room seating areas also provide the perfect setup for streaming post-show videos or sharing the night on social.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a modern base near the action
- Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
- Couples making a weekend of it in Edinburgh
- Fans needing a quiet place to decompress after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want style without splurging

Food and Drink Options

There's a 24-hour bar on-site for nightcaps when the encore ends late. While the hotel doesn't offer full-service dining, it’s surrounded by walkable restaurants and cafés, ideal for grabbing a bite before or after the show. In-room tea and coffee facilities are a big plus for morning-after caffeine needs, and local breakfast spots are just around the corner.

Nightlife Options

You’re within easy reach of some of Edinburgh’s best pubs and bars, many offering live music and late hours. Prefer to stay in? The hotel’s own bar is a calm, comfortable place to sip a local whisky or craft beer while reliving your favorite concert moments.

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean and modern rooms, and especially the location—ideal for both sightseeing and event-going. Many reviewers mention how easy it is to get to concerts and back without fuss, and how surprisingly quiet the rooms are despite the central setting.

Areas for Improvement

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, most guests don’t mind thanks to the great local dining nearby. A few reviewers noted that the rooms can feel compact, but they’re well-designed and have everything you need for a short stay.

The Bottom Line

The Mercure Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel is a smart, central pick for concert-goers wanting a stylish, no-hassle stay just steps from the city's top music venues.

Liked: The location is good.
Disliked: Not too keen on sharing my bed with bugs. Chat gpt believe this IS a bed bug that has just eaten (the manager said pest control told him it wasn’t but didn’t share the report with me)! I asked for a refund for the night but was told I was lucky they agreed to dry clean our pyjamas! Additionally, the room is pretty pokey and the Wi-Fi is very poor. I have video footage of the bug as well.
