Edinburgh East hotel

Perfect stay at edimburgh, full of buses took us there from Princess Street in 15/17 minutes, we never waited more than 3 minutes for a bus. The beds and bathrooms we súper clean and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding!!

Stayed overnight as we were at Tattoo. Hotel only 5 -10 min taxi ride away from centre. Room spotless and roomy. Corridors etc very clean too. What really made it for us was the staff! Every one was amazing! Night porter couldn’t have been nicer and he gave us bottles of chilled water and shortbread! Thank you, young man! So appreciated! Breakfast was superb - spot on! Eggs cooked exactly as we asked. Lots to choose from. It didn’t disappoint! The two ladies attending us were great and couldn’t do enough for us. I know things are pretty tough as Brewers Fayre no longer here but those women worked their hearts out in spite of their upcoming unemployment! We can’t thank you enough. Good luck with impending refurbishment! We’ll be back!

A last minute need need for a hotel. Incredibly expensive for a Premier Inn, certainly the time of year in which all hotels are profiteering. No doubt they will change their minds later in the year. Cost aside the attached pub was closed the evening of check in. As others have said the hotel is rather tired. Parking was difficult due to vans and lorries parked everywhere blocking parking bays. My room was immediately above an extractor fan which did not stop making noise all day and all night. Hardly a goods night sleep.

Overall The hotel was dated and dark, and the overall service and quality was not what you would expect from a Premier Inn. The Good 1. The positives were the the usual Premier Inn characteristiccs- good value and a comfortable bed with breakfast and food available. 2. The location is a bit far out from the centre but on bus routes. It was handy to Holyrood. 3. Breakfast was standard, and the range of food was good. The service was pretty good there, and efficient. The Bad. 1. The hotel was obviously converted and was very dated and dark. The respection area was pretty depressing, and check-in took a while. Getting a response from reception was not helped by a broken buzzer. 2. The rooms were also dark and not as good as manu other Premier Inns. 3. Some of the breakfast items were not great- especially the bacon. The bar was also very dated.

The hotel is clearly one of the older in the estate. It is fine but the attached restaurant is tired and fine for breakfast but distinctly average for dinner.
