"Fantastic customer service by Alina!"

I just have to give praise to the Edinburgh Hub Premier Inn Royal Mile Head girl Alina who works the morning shift. I had a problem with my room and she showed a keenness to make my stay truly exceptional with a room upgrade and complimentary drinks. Whilst her colleagues often show bias in their delivery of customer service and base whether they show basic service principles on race and creed, and who can be counted upon to be petty and catty at any given notice, Alina has continually provided a fair, unbiased, professional and friendly service consistently regardless of race and it is a testament to her good breeding, good work ethics and excellent leadership skills. She has certainly been a credit in meeting the expectations of the Hub Premier Inn brand and her polished customer care and professionalism is always missed when she is not on shift. I hope that her quality performance and conduct does not go unnoticed by her Managers and that she is fully rewarded. Unfortunately due to my four month stay, as this star staff member cannot be expected to work round the clock, I have asked my Company to upgrade me to another Hotel so that I can enjoy my nice long stay

"Perfect city trip"

You know exactly where you are with a premier inn Bare in mind the hubs are much smaller but have better room amenities, going downstairs for a coffee still bugs me! There is a standard premier inn door which I think I would book over this one Amazingly we paid £31 a night for a location 2 mins from the royal mile - Bargain!!

"Great city center hotel."

Having never stayed at a Premier Inn Hub before, we were uncertain as to what we would receive on arrival. We should never had been concerned as the hotel exceeded our expectations. Check in at the hotel was quick and very easy and we issued a room on the 3rd floor looking into Rose St(one of the bigger rooms). The room was a good size with space around the large king size bed, a desk and chair and a well equipped toilet/walk-in shower. All lights, heating are controlled from the panel on the bed head board. During the undoing Coronavirus pandemic, rooms are only serviced on request which was suitable for us during our stay. The hotel has a small bar area on the ground floor with floor to ceiling windows giving guests the opportunity to look into Rose St. all precautions have been taken for COVID with guest details taken prior to being allocated a table. Guests also have the facility of getting free coffee and tea in the bar area to either drink in the bar or take to your room. We had breakfast in the mornings at a cost of £5pppd which was great value providing a good continental breakfast that set us up for the day. This is a good hotel and would recommend this to all travellers.

"Comfortable stay "

This hotel is really beautiful & clean & a restaurant downstairs that serves sandwiches. The location was also conveniently located near most of the attractions & only about 3 minutes from the station.

"Pleasantly Suprised"

After staying in Premier Inn hotels for the previous 4 Nights i thought i would give the Hub by Premier Inn a try. When I arrived I had a problem with the Check In machine, but a member of staff was near and took me to the small desk to get checked in. I was pleasantly surprised with the room as my preconceived idea was that Hub was a cheap version of it's big brother Premier Inn. I was much more comfortable than in the Premier Inn Plus room. The Hub will not be everyone's ideal of a good hotel room. I was impressed with the bed and TV on the wall at the end of bed so very close, all the controls (Lights, heating, Do not Disturb sign button) on the bed "headboard". But most of all the fantastic small bathroom with a brilliant shower. Everything was spotlessly clean, free movies. The breakfast was small but as I only usually have a cuppa it was fine for me.
