I recently stayed at Eliza House and it was a bit of a mixed bag. The location near Haymarket Station can't be beaten, making it super easy to explore the city. My room, while cozy with its charming decor, did smell a bit funky, and the breakfast options were mainly pastries, which left something to be desired. Still, I appreciated the friendly staff, though they could've smiled a bit more during my visit.

My stay at Eliza House had its ups and downs. The central location near Haymarket Station made it super convenient for exploring Edinburgh on foot. However, the bathroom issues I faced, especially with inconsistent hot water, were frustrating. The staff were mostly friendly and the room was quite spacious, but some parts of the hotel felt a bit shabby which detracted from the overall experience.

Rooms

5.0

The first room I had was quite small and unfortunately had issues with cold water. I was later moved to a bigger room that was cleaner, but I still ran into problems with the hot water. The room was spacious with high ceilings but felt warm since there was no air conditioning. Overall, the cleanliness was decent, though I did find some hairs on the mugs and old coffee spots.

Service

5.0

While I encountered some friendly staff, my interactions weren't always positive. I faced a lack of support when reporting issues, with one receptionist dismissively saying he wouldn't speak to anyone responsible. However, the check-in staff, especially on Monday, were quite helpful and accommodating.

My stay at Eliza House was a mixed bag. While I loved the prime location near Haymarket Station and the friendly service, the room itself definitely showed signs of wear and could have used some updates. It was great to have a spacious room, but the cleanliness was inconsistent, especially in the bathroom. Overall, it’s affordable for what you get, though there are some areas that need attention.
