Premier Inn Edinburgh Central

Stayed here for 4 days on the end of our 2 week Europe trip. Perfect location to walk anywhere. Lots of great restaurants. The real highlight was one of the front desk staff. His name was Will. I adore him. I went shopping for new boots, which are fabulous, and when I told him what I was going out to buy he asked me to come show him when I got back. He was adorable and very helpful when I asked where I should go shopping. He drew me a map and told me cool stores to visit. Everyone at premier were super nice and helpful and their buffet breakfast was awesome too. Much love from Canada!

Wir waren echt zufrieden. Das Zimmer sowie Bad waren sauber und die Einrichtung gut. Es war nicht verwohnt, wie bei so manch anderen Hotels. Ja, die Fenster lassen sich nicht richtig öffnen, aber zum Lüften reichts. Das Personal ist freundlich, die Lage gut und das interkontinentale Frühstück war OK. Bin da aber auch vielleicht nicht der Maßstab, denn Würstchen gehören für mich wenn überhaupt auf den Grill und haben auf dem Frühstücksteller nix zu suchen.

Well located for exploring central Edinburgh on foot. This is the third Premier Inn I have stayed at (the others are in Durham UK) and they have all been very similar. Rooms are basic, clean and modern. Staff are very positive, competent and helpful. The restaurants are considerably above average for a mid-​priced chain hotel, with imaginative menus and people in the kitchen who clearly know what they are doing. The breakfasts included with our rooms were excellent. Wifi is extra. Overall a very good experience, particularly at these price levels.

This hotel is about a 15 minute walk from the centre of Edinburgh. The reception area is fairly small with the bar just off to the side. Reception can get a little crowded if several people are checking in at the same time and it does result in having to dodge people going in and out of the bar. The rooms are very spacious, clean and tidy and the bathrooms are also quite large and very clean. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided in the room. The staff are all very friendly, including the housekeeping staff who are very understanding when confronted with grumpy, tired girls with hangovers. I’m sure they’ve seen far worse. If you don’t mind the short walk into the centre, I would recommend staying at this hotel. That said, there is no parking at the hotel, you will need to use one of the nearby long stay car parks but I think it can work out quite expensive — I would speak to the hotel first if you’re intending to drive

nice enough. value for money

ein klassisches Ketten-​Hotel, dessen Zimmertüren alle krachend ins Schloss fallen. Die Zimmer sind OK, die Wände dazwischen kaum vorhanden und kein Fenster läßt sich wirklich öffnen. Aus Sicherheitsgründen — und das wird auch täglich kontrolliert.
Wenn das Hotel voll ist, kann man das Frühstück ganz vergessen: Chaos im Restaurant, kein Platz frei, weinende Kinder, sich lauthals beschwerende Väter, hilfloses Personal.
Aber auch wenn nur wenige Gäste kommen, dauert die Bestellung eines englischen Früstücks gut 15 min. Und was dann kommt ist blass, weich und geschmackslos.
Der Rest des Personals ist damit beschäftigt, täglich neue Varianten des Fahrstuhl kaputt-​Zettels zu dichten und in den Stockwerken zu verteilen.
Ununterbrochen, Tag und Nacht, schreckliche Musik aus der Foyerdecke

Standard Premier Inn stuff, bed fine, TV fine, shower fine, no complaints for a one night stay. Improved by the proximity of The Brauhaus (qv). Close enough to the centre of the city for easy access, a bit too far to walk from the airport bus route if you have many bags. I suspect the restaurant will be OK, but why would eat in a hotel restaurant in central Edinburgh?
