Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
Great location, restaurants nearby are pretty good, close enough to the touristy spots a nice walk can get you there but removed enough to not be in the middle of it all. The rooms are updated, bathrooms might need an update but i was surprised with the hotel overall.

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Room and washrooms were clean! Staff were friendly and the events were great. Could use a common room as the restaurant/lobby got crowded easily, but I know common room is coming soon!
