Joivy Haymarket is appreciated for its superb location, right across from Haymarket Station, with tram and bus stops practically at the doorstep, making it convenient for getting around. Guests often comment on the clean and spacious rooms, some featuring lovely garden views, and the availability of amenities like a fridge, kettle, and complimentary tea and coffee. The communal area with its coffee machine and fresh fruit is a commonly enjoyed perk, though some guests have occasionally found the digital key system a bit slow to respond.

The room was clean. The location worked for getting to the city center.
I had trouble with the digital code system for entry. The door was difficult to open. I wish they had sent the door link before midnight. It was a hassle upon arrival.

the location near the train station was acceptable.
the room was quite basic, not matching the stylish photos online. the price felt inflated, especially given a rugby match occurred. i believe i overpaid substantially for what the room offered.
