Haymarket Budget Hotel, Dorm Beds

Budget hotel at 1-5 Osborne Terrace in Edinburgh's Haymarket and West End, with dorm beds from £13 a night.

Overview

MEININGER Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket sits on Osborne Terrace in the Murrayfield side of the Haymarket and West End area, with Edinburgh International Conference Center under 0.6 mi away and Edinburgh Castle about 1 mi. The airport is 8.1 mi out, and the property puts guests near Murrayfield Stadium and Edinburgh Zoo. It is a budget hotel rather than a hostel, yet it sells dorm beds alongside conventional rooms, which is unusual and useful at this price level.

The room mix ranges from singles and twins up to family rooms, all with private bathrooms, and the dorm options cover 4-bed mixed, 4-bed female and 6-bed mixed configurations. Rooms come with a work desk, TV, free WiFi, city views and soundproofing. Shared extras include a guest kitchen, a lounge, a coffee shop, a terrace and a bar, plus a continental buffet breakfast with local items, pastries, cheese and fruit. Reception runs around the clock and there is a lift, laundry and breakfast available.

Who It Suits

A solo traveller on a tight budget gets the dorm bed option with a female-only 4-bed choice if preferred, while the 24-hour desk suits anyone landing late or leaving early. Families fit too, since family rooms with private bathrooms are on the list and pets are allowed on request. Small groups can share a quad. Anyone who wants to step out the door into the Old Town may find the Murrayfield position less convenient, since the walk to Waverley station is estimated at roughly 39 minutes.
