"Dreadful hotel"

From the outside it looked like a normal Premier Inn. On check in it was apparent that they were very short staffed as it took ages for anybody to respond to the buzzer (all the self serve check in desks were out of order). The room - it was awful. Filthy threadbare carpet, marked walls, black mould in corners of room and in the windows. I had to make several trips to reception as the 2nd key card wasn’t working, the third bed hadn’t even been made so I made it myself but the sheets had blood on so I had to request a clean set. There was no toilet roll and only one towel between three of us for two nights. Some of the electric sockets didn’t work and all the housing had come away from the wall so it wouldn’t have been safe for children. I paid extra for a ‘room with a view’. The view consisted of the Edinburgh Council offices and a row of homeless people living in tents. It cost around £550 for two nights which was robbery. I think joining the homeless in a tent would have been no worse. Never again will I use Premier Inn.

"Not the best by a long way."

The check-in was poor. We were eventually served by duty manager, who was very mumbled and couldn't wait to pass us our room key and move on. Our room was very poor as we'd paid for Premier plus room. It wasn't clean, there were marks on desk area where a spill hadn't been cleaned up. The fridge and kettle were dirty. The headboard has a piece missing. The bed was lumpy and squeaked every time I moved. I went down to reception to see if we could have a better room. Eventually after a long wait someone came to reception and I was told we could move rooms the following day as they were fully booked. Not a lot we could do but spend the night in the allocated room. Something in roof space was noisy all through the night. In the morning the young lady on reception was very helpful and assured us she would sort another room for when we returned. On returning we were given a new room. Much cleaner but still a lumpy bed!! Stopped 3 nights in total for our Ruby wedding anniversary. At breakfast the food was ok but service was poor with one member of staff behind counter more interested in his mobile phone. Question mark over hygiene practices. We had stopped at this hotel 2 years previously and had a wonderful stay. What has happened? We have stopped at many Premier inns over many years but this has been the worst experience ever and I question whether we will ever stay at a Premier Inn ever again. Really spoilt what should have been a wonderful time. Maybe AIRBNB next time.
