"OK - But For One Thing Which Ruined It"

Overall this Premier Inn is OK. It's a budget hotel and is of course, without frills. For example there is no minibar or fridge in the room. The wardrobe has no doors - it's just an open space with hangers. However it was clean and the bathroom was OK and the shower over the bath was powerful and easy to use. We asked for a room with a view over the water and got one. The receptionist was extremely helpful and kind when we checked in. I noticed the sink in the bathroom was blocked - the water drained away very slowly and was off putting to use. But I didn't tell anyone at the hotel as I made the assumption it wouldn't be fixed any time soon, and that I'd just put up with it. But after two days I mentioned it to the cleaner and she immediately arranged for a guy to come and unblock it. I wished I'd told them earlier. When it comes to customer service you can't fault the individuals who work here. They were personable, helpful in general and delivered an extra table for us and an extra chair and an iron and ironing board when we asked. So what's not to like? Maybe it would have been OK for one night, but we were in the hotel for 6 nights. 6 unbearable nights. The daytime temperature during our stay in Leith was consistently above 20 degrees C. The room has no air conditioning - but that's fine because air-conditioning sucks. Better than air conditioning are windows. The rooms have actual windows. You know windows that open. Except that this particular Premier Inn, in order to save us from launching ourselves out of said windows to the gravel below, has implemented an ingenious system of safety catches that meant the window would only open to an aperture of approximately 1.5 inches. So instead of a nice cool breeze we got the sun's rays magnified God knows how many times through double glazing while we suffocated within. The temperature in the room was unbearable during the day and during the night. They provide a standalone fan which we had to use constantly. I basically sat on the bed and pointed it at myself until it was time to leave. So after 6 sleepless, airless, suffocating nights, I can't recommend this hotel when the weather is warm. I imagine it'd be perfect if it's snowing or howling a gale outside. Or if breathing isn't something you like doing.

"Leisure Trip"

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay it was handy for our visits to Brittania, Kitchins etc which we had been given presents of.. Situated on the waterfront so lovely for a nice walk, and only 5 Minutes walk to the Ocean Terminal.

"Airbnb Gltich Resolved with a Nice Hotel Stay"

My Airbnb host uses more than one system to rent rooms, they didn't talk to each other, so I was told I had a room for two nights, but I didn't. My host's family uses this hotel when they come to visit him as the stairs to his flat overwhelm them. The hotel had a nice location near the water, it was clean, and the check-in went well.

"Caring and helpful staff"

Great location and value for money. Rooms good size and clean and had everything we required. The staff in reception and the restaurant were very helpful and understanding in dealing with one of our party. Top marks for that.

"Excellent food and service"

Stayed 5 nights at the Premier Inn Newhaven Quay while in Edinburgh for a funeral. The room was clean and spacious. Double bed and single bed and still room to move around. We opted for the Premier breakfast at close to 9 GBP per day. It was excellent. Lots of variety and the buffet was plentiful. Choice of buffet or cooked to order. Great location, near buses and right at Newhaven harbour. Try to get a room facing the water, Parking was good, no issues with getting a space.

Close Review

Hotel description Slumber by the sea at the Premier Inn Hotel Edinburgh Leith Waterfront. In a prime harbour location, you're still within easy reach of all the attractions of the historic city centre. And if you're here to work, we're close to key business destinations like the Scottish Parliament, too. Get regal with a visit to Royal Yacht Britannia or Holyrood Palace. Head for the city and storm the walls at Edinburgh Castle. Then indulge in some world-class retail therapy on Princes Street, or enjoy a relaxing stroll around the Royal Botanic Gardens. After a busy day, kick back and relax in our tasty restaurant, spacious rooms and extra-comfy beds.
