The heating in the hotel was broken, no advance warning they clearly knew about it before hand and where using stall tactics insisting it will be fixed, and is just an issue in your room but over heard several other customers make the same complaint. We had to mention it 7 times and nothing was done we moved rooms and the heating was broken there too, I should have been suspicious the heating was out in the whole hotel with how slow they where to over a different room. Also in the first room the lights stopped working and it still took two complaints to get moved rooms, I understand things can go wrong but lying and being unhelpful is not good, so would avoid staying here.

Privilege room

Was a lovely clean hotel & quiet. The only thing that was frustrating was the heating / AC didn’t work but when informing reception they delivered a heater as it was cold.

Clean and Comfortable

The Mercure in Edinburgh was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and attentive. We didn’t use the bar or restaurant, so I’m unable to comment. The beds were comfortable. My only complaint would be that the wifi didn’t work, especially in the rooms. My colleague had the same issue in his room, which was on a different floor.

Heating and sleep

Heating system in the room was not working properly, booked two rooms and was the same in each room, beds very hard and not too comfortable resulting in a restless night.

Like being trapped in a basement

Ever wondered what it would feel like to be buried alive and are you prepared to pay to find out? Then check in to Mercury Edinburgh Haymarket Hotel. My room was two floors below ground, with a tiny window where I could see a sliver of the sky if I angled my head steeply. There was no 4G connection to speak of this deep underground. To make it worse the WiFi was not working properly, because they had stupidly scheduled an upgrade just before the NYE holiday, when BT engineers were guaranteed to be on holiday and not able to come and fix it. I lost three days of work time. Finally the window wouldn’t close on the night that temperatures dropped below freezing and I was moved to a different room. This one was above ground, but at this stage I just wanted to check out and leave. I wouldn’t want to be back here even if I was dead. Avoid if you can.
