hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket

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.

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.

The rooms are updated and facility is nice and clean the main issue is the beds. The beds are so hard it actually hurt me every morning and my husband who like a very firm bed. Do something about the mattresses. Everything else was wonderful.

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.
