Bring your dog if
- You're happy with a standard hotel-room stay where the property explicitly welcomes dogs
- You're basing yourself in Edinburgh / the Scotland and want a pet-friendly anchor for day trips
Worth knowing
- Paw rating sits on a single confirmed pet review - expect movement as more data arrives
- Pet fee: £25 per pet (max 2 pets) - research-verified; confirm at booking
- Shared corridors and common areas mean nervous or vocal dogs may find it harder to settle
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 367 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 7.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Travelodge Edinburgh Haymarket is a genuinely handy dog-friendly base in the west end of the city, and it comes recommended by a guest who keeps coming back with their dog. Sitting on Eglinton Crescent just off Haymarket, it puts you within easy reach of the station, Murrayfield and the Water of Leith walkway, so there is proper walking on the doorstep.
The feedback from dog owners is warm. A repeat guest describes the rooms as spotlessly clean and nicely furnished, and the kind of place they are happy to bring their dog on holiday. Staff get a mention for being welcoming to dogs, and water bowls are kept on hand - the small touches that make arriving with a dog feel easy rather than merely tolerated.
As a Travelodge it is a straightforward, budget-friendly stay rather than a luxury one, and dogs are welcomed through the chain's standard pet policy. The west-end setting is quieter and more residential than the city-centre Travelodges, which suits a calmer dog, and the Water of Leith gives you a green route for morning and evening walks without needing to drive.
The main thing to keep in mind is that the strongest praise here comes from a small number of dog-owning guests rather than a large pile of reviews, so treat the welcome as promising rather than guaranteed and confirm the current pet arrangements when you book. For a budget west-end Edinburgh base where your dog is genuinely part of the plan, it is a solid choice and earns a 4.4/5 paw rating.
