"Disappointing stay."

Great location. However the hotel was not very clean in the main areas, arriving at 3pm the breakfast and bar area floors very unclean. The room had no ventilation, smelled damp and after a shower the walls ran with condensation. A/C ineffective. Breakfast was poorly prepared, fairly lacklustre approach all round, not what we normally expect from a Premier inn. I suspect poor daily team management.

"Poorly maintained"

Poorly maintained short staffed After paying £15 of my hard earned cash for early check in I was kept waiting a short time until my room was ready. I had paid for a premier plus room with a view. The first room bed headboard was worn so I asked to change rooms, it was exactly the same. The manager agreed that the rooms coukd do with a refresh and offered a 20% reduction in price plus 3x free breakfasts 1 for each day of my stay. The mattress is worn out as when you get into bed it doesn't offer support and you hit the bed stead. In addition to the worn out headboard the chairs were all worn which didn't look great and there was a light out in my bathroom which didn't get fixed despite being told by the manager it would be. The restaurant was rebooting only I went down at 1730 and was told it was fully booked, there was no one in. At 1800 after ordering in food there was one family of four seated in the restaurant. The guy on reception said there was only one cheif and they limited the numbers and he was only doing what he was told. The good - not too far to walk to the railway station. IN DESPERATE NEED OF RENOVATION.

"Great location"

Great location , basic rooms but clean and comfortable could do with a little more hanging and drawer space. Breakfast prices good and good selection. Gonzarlo the young man on reception was very helpful and gave us a great recommendation on an Italian restaurant, Gordon's. Very helpful young slim lady with long hair on reception .

"Look elsewhere"

Awful experience from check in to departure. Paid for early check in to be told there isnt any rooms available... (after a 10 minute wait to check in) also hasn't been refunded. Room was dirty and in severe need of a freshen up, bed sheets were like bin liners, pillows were thinner than my palm, good luck drying your hair... and asthmatic blowing on your hair would be quicker. Locked changed while we were there and unable to get into the room.

"Great stay in Edinburgh Premier Inn"

Brilliant location, 5 minutes walk from train station. Easy access to all sights and transport links. Staff at the hotel are all brilliant and very helpful with any need or requirement that you may have. It is a family hotel with a breakfast and dinner menu fit for all. If any special requirements you can speak direct to the chefs or the waiting staff. The family room we had was an exceptional size with plenty of space on the top floor. There was no noise from other rooms or from the street outside. The only downside was that the room was a bit tired and in need of a little TLC but that was outweighed by the space in the room and the view over Edinburgh from the window. Overall it was a fantastic stay at this hotel and will return without second thoughts.
