"Highly Recommend"
Excellent central location just behind the St James centre. Room was lovely, spotlessly clean, food was good & friendly staff. Would definitely stay here again.
"Premier inn York Place Edinburgh"
Great value for money, excellent location, very quiet and comfortable beds for our 2 night stay. Tram line outside hotel, 10 min walk into the old town and 5 min walk from the train station.
"Great location!"
The room looked quite tired and dated - perhaps time for a refurb. Some of the surfaces were peeling off the vanity unity and side tables, the bath panel was swollen from water damage and the air con panel was cracked and made awful crackling noises when the fans were on. However, the staff are very friendly, cheerful and helpful. Better choice of food for different dietary requirements. Location! A short walk from the train station and sightseeing buses. Tram and other bus stops almost outside the door. It’s also really not far to walk to the shops, cafes/restaurants and the landmarks of Edinburgh.
"Great value in a convenient location."
Conveniently located walking distance from the train station, and just a few blocks from a bus station. Clean room, comfortable bed, enough space to unpack, and store our belongings. Continental breakfast was a good value, and high quality. Friendly and helpful staff.
"A poor experience"
We paid a premium £174 for one night ( due to our circumstances we couldn’t book more than 2 weeks in advance). We were allocated Room 1 - floor-1. On opening the door the stale, musty smell which hit us was awful. We returned to check in and were offered a room on the first floor. The positive was the room was in a quiet location with no road noise. We had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned properly- especially the sink and toilet. There is mould on the bath edging. In the bedroom the laminate surface on the unit is falling off and the bedside table looks as if it is about to fall off the wall. On a more positive note, the staff were friendly and did their best to address our issues. As a tip for future travellers- try elsewhere first and definitely avoid floor -1 Rooms 1 to 15.
