hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket

The hub is just a short walk from the train station so I got there quickly and without the need for further transport. Check in was simple and handled by a lovely, friendly man. The lobby had a friendly vibe and comfortable seating. Beverages were in constant, self-serve supply and could be drunk in the lobby or taken to the room. Information about breakfast and drinks was straightforward. Breakfast itself was good, essentially continental but with lots of choice. The whole place was spotlessly clean - I’d anticipated a small room space but it was more than adequate. I had an accessible room as that was all that was available when I booked, the bathroom room - a wet room - was enormous! Hand wash and shower cream were provided, the towels were lovely and thick. The sleeping area had a gigantic and very comfortable bed; there was a small, pull down desk with sockets and charging points and there were more sockets by the bed. There was a stylish chair which could be used at the desk or as an “easy” chair. The wall-mounted TV was facing the bed. The only thing that I was a little flustered by was the control panel for lighting, heat, etc., but that’s just me! I wish my stay had been for more than one night!

Great location, well connected by public transport. Very clean rooms. Small, as expected from a Hub; but had tons of storage, which was very useful. The water pressure in the shower is pretty low, which can get a bit annoying but not a show stopper by any means. Great facilities and good value for money.

You always know what you're getting with Premier Inn. Clean, comfortable, and lovely staff. The location of this hotel was really handy for our short trip to Edinburgh.

Friendly & helpful staff at check-in and at breakfast. Room 'compact' (or 'smaller' as Hub hotels say in their advertising) but quite adequate for a short city stay where we wanted to spend most of the time not in the room. Bed firm but comfy. Shower excellent. Continental breakfast [@ £6 - we had to book the night before] was ample for an early start. Location ideal - 5 mins walk to Haymarket for station & trams - and a bus-stop (No.2 to Old Town) across the road from the hotel. Would stay again.

They must have told their designers, provide every amenity a modern hotel room should have, in half the space of even a European hotel room. They delivered. I imagine the room might feel cramped for a couple, with the bed accessible from just one side, but as I was along this past week, not a problem. You can slide out the thin surface at the foot of the bed to make a desk, but it was easier for me to take my laptop down to the common area, where there is free coffee, outlets and tables. Great location, 5 mins walk to Haymarket station and bus stops, and a pleasant walk to Princes St and Old Town. The continental breakfast is excellent and just $8 with limitless coffee, not a given in a Scottish cafe. Minor complaint: the two members of staff I asked were unable to tell me where to catch an airport bus and similarly without answer when it came to a wake-up call. Just not offered; the wake-up button on the smart TV is disabled, and no alarm clock in the room. If you are deaf like me, you cannot trust your phone alarm. They should provide an alarm clock on request to guests. But really, this is a great choice for Edinburgh, good rate, good location, modern facilities.
