The Haymarket Hub Hotel by Accor is a compact, no-frills hotel near Haymarket Station offering good value accommodation with a central Edinburgh location. Rooms are small but functional and well-equipped. Ideal for travellers who want a private room on a tight budget.
Haymarket Hub Hotel Edinburgh is a compact budget hotel at 153 Morrison Street in Edinburgh's Haymarket district, operated by Hub by Premier Inn under the Whitbread group. The Hub by Premier Inn brand, launched in response to demand for high-quality private rooms at hostel-competitive prices, offers an efficient and well-specified budget hotel experience with a deliberately minimal footprint. The hotel's Haymarket location, approximately one mile west of Edinburgh city centre, places it within a five-minute walk of Haymarket Station — which provides direct ScotRail services to Glasgow Queen Street and connections throughout Scotland — and on the Edinburgh Tram route, which runs east to Waverley and the city centre and west to Edinburgh Airport. The hotel's rooms follow the Hub formula: compact (typically 11 to 15 square metres), but efficiently designed with a full-sized king or double bed fitted with the brand's Hypnos mattresses and quality bedding, an en-suite shower room with good water pressure, a wall-mounted television, in-room work space, and fast Wi-Fi. Every room includes blackout blinds and effective climate control. The compact footprint makes these rooms best suited to solo travellers or couples travelling light rather than guests with multiple large suitcases. There is no on-site restaurant at the Haymarket Hub, reflecting the brand's minimal-service model. However, the Morrison Street and Lothian Road corridor provides a good selection of independent cafes, convenience stores, and restaurants within a short walk in both directions. Several well-regarded Edinburgh pubs and casual dining options on Dalry Road and Haymarket Terrace are within easy reach. The Edinburgh Tram stop at Haymarket provides a fast and reliable 20-minute service to Edinburgh Airport, making the hotel a practical choice for early-morning or late-returning flight connections. The city centre is a 20-minute walk through the West End or a short tram or bus ride.
