"Downhill since last stay."
Stayed here a quite a few times over the years but this stay was the most disappointing. Breakfast sitting was under staffed so tables weren’t being cleared being cleared quick enough and food items not replenished in a timely manner. Fried egg were ‘rubbery’ and coffee machines achingly slow. The room was fine but the bathroom had mould in one corner. The chairs in the reception area should be skipped due to the seat cover being ripped, as were some in the dining area. Staff tried their hardest and were friendly. I’m guessing that budget’s are being cut and it’s beginning to show.
"It would turn you off future Premier Inns!"
One of the poorest Premier Inns we have stayed at. Hotel was in a great location , room was clean, and we slept very well. However staff were disengaged, rude and didn't care about their customers. Except for one man who i believe was the manager. Breakfast was awful, hot food ran out, no fruit for yogurts, no milk in coffee machine. And it wasn't even busy! Breakfast staff were asleep.
"Hotel can not be contacted"
I made a reservation for mid August 2025. I tried to contact the hotel to reserve some additional services. No e-mail address available. 5 attempts to reach the hotel reception. Nobody is picking-up the phone. Is this hotel still open?
"Great location. Rude staff"
Location is great. Premiere plus room was quiet and comfortable. However, most interactions with staff were not super friendly or helpful. Especially a staff member named John, who was especially rude to us a few times. Glad I didn’t interact with him more than I had to.
"Great location"
This was our second visit to this premier inn due to the great location in Edinburgh. Room was clean and as expected. Check in fast. AC was a godsend on the week we went in the heatwave. Breakfast lacking as most items needed replenishing and not enough staff to keep on top of this. Second night awful as the Indian restaurant next door that’s connected in part to the hotel decided to do renovations at 1am! Woke up may people on all floors. Contacted guest relations to see if we can get a refund. Hope that Premier inn recoup this form the business owner who has no social awareness to working hours
