    "Adequate."
    Location of hotel was great once you got your bearings. Room felt and smelt damp. Limited clothes hanging space. No drawer space. Breakfast was chaotic due to area layout. Only one coffee/tea machine. Guests were left waiting for food/dishes. Limited fruit and yogurts choice. Hotel needs decorating. Areas were not very clean. Requested a room clean as advertised, they only emptied the bins. When challenged staff I was informed this is all they do. My expectations of a clean would have at least included a bathroom clean.
    "Chaos!"
    Bedrooms very clean and tidy. Reception desk on the first night, full of youths milling about and no security, next morning for breakfast, Chaos! No cups, coffee machine not working, cutlery missing, tables not cleared and 2 men seeming to look busy!
    "Pretty average stay for the price. Decent location"
    Low value for money. Breakfast was pretty bad, food was cold, service was slow, pancakes were dry and cold and my egg had an egg shell in it!!
    "Seen better days"
    Location excellent but P I seem to be cutting back on staff and maintenance. Air con in room cut off after 30 minutes; fan in bathroom when the light switch was on appallingly loud; USB socket broken. When we asked for room to be cleaned, we returned to find it not done because housekeeping was ‘busy’. Staff, when available, were helpful and pleasant, but after 15 years of using PI, we will look for alternatives.
    "Probably the most failing branch of Premier Inn in UK"
    Unfortunately the worst Premier Inn we have stayed at, the standard was way off what we expected. Not enough staff to cover reception, bar & restaurant, with one member covering all 3 bases on two days out of the 3. Maintenance technician was behind reception on last day to cover - in his work overalls. The hotel itself needs a proper clean up & refurb - Nothing like the two others we stayed at this summer.

    Hotel description

    Premier Inn Hotel Edinburgh City Centre (Lauriston Place) is the perfect place to stay if you're coming to visit Edinburgh or Edinburgh Castle. You'll be within easy reach of all the tourist attractions, plus great transport links to the whole region. Spend the morning doing some window-shopping along the Royal Mile. For lunch, why not venture out to Leith, Edinburgh's 'port', and discover some glorious restaurants. If you're visiting during the Edinburgh Festival or the International Film Festival, there's plenty to distract during the afternoon. Then it's time to come back to the hotel for a meal in our tasty restaurant, and a well-earned rest in our new, modern rooms with extra-comfy kingsize beds.
