"Late review due to mix up of name of hotel"

Visit for marathon Review of hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Royal Mile hotel Reviewed 28 May 2019 Have just returned from a two night stay at this Premier Inn hotel. We had two rooms, 204 and 205. Travelling was myself and wife, my daughter and her husband and nine year old grand daughter. First impressions were very good, we were very early due to early flight, but were able to put our luggage in a safe room. On return, quick trouble free check in. We had our evening meal at the hotel restraurant which was very good, service and food very good. My wife slept with her grand daughter in the double bed and I had the single bed. Unfortunately the bedroom was not up to the standard I expect from Premier Inn. The room was very basic and the single bed very uncomfortable, there was not the choice of pillows either. Breakfast on the two mornings were at the most ok, first morning food wasn't particularly hot, and items were slow to be replaced when they had run out. Staff were excellent and I can't fault of them. So overal I have awarded three stars. Due to the Edinburgh Marathon taking place, and it being Bank Holiday, I paid over £500 for the two night stay and that was without payment for the breakfasts. I keep getting emails from the company offering stays at £35 a night, I certainly didn't get that offer in Edinburgh.Show less Date of stay: May 2019

"Perfectly Placed Premier Inn"

We’ve just returned from a wonderful three night stay at this premier inn. It’s very well situated close to Edinburgh Waverley train station and the Royal Mile with its restaurants, pubs and shops. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and good sized bathroom. We both got a great night’s sleep. There’s free wi-fi too. The breakfast was excellent and we had a good meal in the restaurant too. We would definitely stay here again next time we’re in Edinburgh.

"Not on the Royal Mile"

Nice Premier Inn, however, it is not on the Royal Mile. I found this out the hard way having to negotiate the steepest of hills in my wheelchair with two suitcases. When I did eventually find the hotel, I was less than friendly. For this I sincerely apologise. When leaving Edinburgh train station. Go right not left.

"Very good hotel"

Stayed here for one night due to it's proximity to the train station and an early train. Could not be disappointed with this. It was only a 5 minute walk from the station. The rooms were quiet, clean and cheap. Did not use attached restaurant for breakfast, but it was reasonable for dinner. The only thing I didn't like was the self automated check in system - much prefer talking to a real person!!

"Lovely Room - Few hiccups."

Premier Inns are my first port of call for an overnight stay anywhere. This was easy to find and in a nice quiet area. Our room was of a good premier inn standard. Good quality bed, clean furnishing and fittings. Reception was not having the best of days upon or arrival with there system blocking out check ins for periods of time. Thankfully we were in a group of 2 rooms so when we were told we had to wait roughly 10mins to try checking in again we chose to just go to the other room with friends. The receptionist actually ended up at their door to hand us our key which was a nice touch. Cannot fault such service. We went to see a show and upon coming back wanted to use the vending machines. Both broken....turns out this is not premier inns problem as the machines are not theirs. Resulting in buying drinks at a much more inflated cost from the bar. No shops nearby at that hour afterall. Maybe they should look into possibly having vending machines they can manage. Even if it meant taking items out so there still available to buy for customers.
