"GOOD LOCATION - WIFI NOT THE BEST"
We travelled here by taxi from the airport so did not have the issue of car parking as it is not available at the hotel itself. This Premier Inn is in a great location near the opposite end of Princes Street to Waverley Station. There are many bus stops - and many buses - which stop outside of the hotel to take you down to Waverley if you do not wish to walk even though it is not that far. Elderly people might notice the distance though. Breakfast - as always at a Premier Inn - was fabulous and there was plenty of it. We booked a Plus room on this occasion which was quite roomy, certainly big enough for two people. This "upgrade" included a better version of WiFi. It was a bit hit and miss though - when it was good, it was great, however it dropped out a number of times which was quite frustrating. The need to log in each day with a different password also was frustrating. The bed was very comfortable with pillows to match. We were disappointed at the lack of towels - we were not given bathmat or hand towels when we first arrived and these were only provided after we had requested our room to be cleaned a couple of days after we had arrived. The "cleaning" process apparently did not include vacuuming the floor either as it was not done. Would I recommend - probably but only because of its location
"Great location, reasonable value."
Great location on Princes Street reasonably close to both Edinburgh railway stations and many attractions such as the National Gallery. Paid a couple of pounds extra for a spectacular view of tge Castle which was well worth it. Room was perfectly good and a reasonable rate (for central Edinburgh). Breakfast was OK but could have been better.
"Great Experience, Would Stay Again"
I was very satisfied with my stay. The room was clean and spacious, featuring extremely comfortable mattresses. Both check-in and check-out were efficient and straightforward.
"Castle view = no sleep."
Hotel is nice. Premier Plus rooms are as expected. If you want a room at the front with views of the castle, don’t expect a good night’s sleep. Constant traffic and footfall noise throughout the night, the windows may as well be made from clingfilm, no soundproofing whatsoever.
"Comfortable stay"
No complaints, just myself with daughter in 20’s in a twin room. Check in was friendly and quick. Room a twin set up (one double one twin- daughter walked in the door and said oh I see which bed I get) on third floor. Spacious and clean. Great location. Didn’t include breakfast as we aren’t big breakfast eaters and would just grab a croissant nearby. Beds very comfortable and room was quiet.
