4-star Victorian town house hotel opposite Haymarket Railway Station in Edinburgh

Location & Transport

Joivy Haymarket sits directly opposite Haymarket Railway Station, placing travelers within a 15-minute train ride to the airport and a 20-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle. The hotel is also steps from tram and bus stops, giving guests direct access to Princes Street, the Royal Mile, and Regent Gardens. Haymarket station connects to all major rail routes, making JOIVY Haymarket a logical base for exploring Scotland's capital.

Self-Check-In & Digital Access

The hotel operates with a self-check-in system, using a phone-based app and door codes to enter the building and each room. This process gives guests flexibility to arrive and depart without waiting at a front desk, and the codes work offline after initial setup. JOIVY Haymarket provides clear WhatsApp instructions before arrival, so travelers can bypass reception entirely and go straight to their rooms.

Communal Spaces & Self-Catering

A shared lounge and kitchen on the ground floor offer a self-service coffee machine, tea, and a bowl of fresh fruit available every day. Guests can use the communal fridge, board games, and books, creating a space to relax or meet other travelers. There is no on-site restaurant, but the kitchen allows guests to prepare simple meals and store groceries.

JOIVY Haymarket offers Single, Standard Double, Deluxe Double, Studio, and Family rooms, each with a flat-screen TV and either an en suite or private external bathroom for the guest's exclusive use. The Deluxe Double room provides extra space and a seating area, while the Studio includes a mini kitchen and cutlery. All rooms have heating and are non-smoking, and most feature views of the surrounding Victorian neighborhood.

Safety & Guest Support

The property is monitored by CCTV outside the building and smoke alarms on every floor, with fire extinguishers positioned in common areas. A 24/7 phone support team handles questions about codes, TV issues, or maintenance requests, though no staff are on-site.
