Edinburgh City Centre Royal Mile hotel

This premier inn is very close to all the amenities and sights of Edinburgh. A short walk from Waverley bridge and station. The on site restaurant, Thyme, had a good selection of meals reasonably priced. We booked the meal deal of breakfast and evening meal, which is great value. Breakfast was plentiful and was kept well stocked up the whole time. Breakfast was busy as they usually are. Tables were cleaned quickly.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. The price (over €300 a night) versus the service was terrible. The breakfast was absolutely the worst I've ever had in a hotel: not even in an abandoned hostel have I seen such a miserable breakfast: there were just defrosted croissants, a yogurt, packaged jams, and that was it. The cleanliness was only average. I had paid for early check-in, but it was denied, and I had to insist on a refund. The list of amenities is nonexistent. They hide behind the claim that "it's a budget hotel," but if €300 a night is the standard for a budget hotel, something's wrong.

Hotel Location is good. There was no noise. Not too crowded, and within walking distance of railway and tourist sights. There is not much of a staff on the hotel, only rarely. And the bell for calling on them did not work. The sign said go to the bar and ask, but the bar was mostly empty.... Bath was damp and slightly smelly. There was not much ventilation going on. You get a place to stay, and its not very expensive. A lot in Edinburgh is mediocre and overpriced, you will see. I tried a lot of restaurants with rating above 4.5 on Google maps, and it was not worth it. Try getting out of city centre to get a different experience. I went to Botanical Garden and ended up in a tiny pub close by afterwards, (st bernards bar), that was nice. However, most Scots in Edinburgh are very friendly and easy to understand. And Edinburgh is surely much nicer than Glasgow or Aberdeen.

Just spent 3 great days in sunny Edinburgh at this hotel which we have stayed at many times previously. The location is excellent, being so close to Waverley Rail Station but also to the Royal Mile. The room was very clean and comfortable and the corridors were very quiet. We ate both breakfast and evening meals in the restaurant where the food was very good and service was excellent, in particular to mention Suzan who was always very cheerful and helpful.

Shocking experience. Tatty room. Asked for house keeping as was staying two night, didn't happen. Complained with bar staff (there's no one at reception), the guy just said write a complaint on the website! Very very bad for the price they are charging and very poor attitude of staff.
