hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket

So, many years staying in Premier Inn and hubs in recent years. So disappointed with the Haymarket Hub, particularly housekeeping. As you have to now, we requested a room refresh, which they get away with post COVID, when we arrived back the room hadn’t been touched and the refresh consisted of a bag with towels and toilet roll left outside your room. Lazy, Lazy, Lazy.

Great location, easy check in/out process. Room was good, only (very minor) complaints: the lighting system was a bit complicated to figure out, and we weren’t a fan of the clear bathroom doors. Room was very clean. Breakfast was pretty good, we thought it was a tad bit expensive for what it was, but overall super convenient and there was always free coffee and tea. The best part was that we could leave our luggage at the hotel after we checked out for the day while we went out exploring. Overall, good option for a stay in Edinburgh.

This hotel was perfect for us, we enjoyed being slightly out of the city and certainly saved on cost because of it. If you don’t enjoy walking the bus service in Edinburgh is excellent, there is a bus stop right outside this hotel. We stayed here for five nights, my husband and I in one room, I booked a bigger room for us and pleased that I did. My sister had one of the standard rooms and she was perfectly happy too. We both had great views from our seventh floor rooms. I did hear someone complaining about the size of the room, I don’t understand this, if you took the time to read the information on the website it is explained that these Hub inns have smaller rooms. Our experience from arrival to leaving was absolutely perfect. We had the continental breakfast on a couple of occasions, lots of choice and perfectly adequate to start your day. They were a little short staffed on one day, but the person running that shift was on top of everything and could not do enough for you, even taking the time to have a little bit of banter and a giggle with us, “SHEILA” you know who you are 😉 😉 We would not hesitate to book here the next time we visit Edinburgh. Just wonderful 👏👏👏👏👏

Terrible room. Payed a good amount for the room for myself and wife, only to find the room was so small, the bed was only accessible from one side. Not sure it should have been sold as double occupancy, or if it was, there should have been a sub note to the booking.

The bed was tiny (more a single than double) and had walls on 3 sides so was very hard to get out of in the night if you were on the wall side. There was a narrow ledge in the wall, not really wide rough to put a glass of water on without fear of it being knocked off. There was a ticking noise that went on all night. The photograph of the room didn’t really show how small the bed was. The room was cramped for two people, but clean and there was a useful storage space under the the bed, the staff were friendly and helpful.
