Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre (Princes Street) hotel

We stayed four nights, in Premier room, with a meal deal..... Room clean and comfortable, although the windows could do with a clean.... However.... Top tip.... Eat early in the restaurant..... As service can be slow after seven!...... .... Also we found the menu more than limited....... ..... The staff were pleasant u0026 helpful u0026 worked hard.

Very approachable reception staff both on the phone beforehand and afterwards whilst staying. I have not stayed since the refurbishment..which has made a vast improvement to the entrance into the facility. My previous visit in 2016 I feel the bed was more comfortable, this visit in 2023 it was overly firm. The excellent pillows helped with this. Cleanliness everywhere on entry to the room was excellent. For the much higher cost per night I really to feel the tea/ coffee area needs an upgrade. Thank you to the staff who were so helpful. Sadly the WiFi although free is basic.

Lovely couple of nights at the hotel. Staff friendly, room was clean and had everything you need not to mention the comfortable bed. Very handy for everything in the city, would definitely stay again

Perfect location and family room. Very clean and quiet hotel. Good and rich breakfast. Very polite staff. Close to everything.

Had a lovely stay overnight, great room very comfy and quiet. Reception staff very friendly and helpful, in fact all the staff were nice. Good breakfast and great location for getting around to all the attractions.

Located on the main street that connects several tourist attractions, the hotel offers a wonderful view of Princes Street Gardens and Edinburgh Castle (it just depends on the room). 5 minutes from the train station and easy to reach any part of the city either by public transport or even on foot admiring the architectural and historical beauty of the city. Well cared for, clean and nicely decorated. The room has everything you need, including a hairdryer, iron and ironing board, coffee machine with capsules (a few capsules and something sweet) and a mini fridge. The staff is nice and friendly.

I can not fault the location of this hotel! Walking along the street to get to it the views are amazing u0026 we wondered if we’d get a room that overlooked the castle but assumed most rooms would have a view of the back, but how wrong we were! We had a front u0026 centre direct view of the castle which was quite honestly stunning, possibly even better than the views you’d find from rooms in The Balmoral. We stayed in a premier + room so has the added extras of a nicer bathroom + a mini fridge u0026 whilst we really liked the layout of the room the mini fridge didn’t work properly u0026 was far too warm meaning the stuff we put inside went off. The TV also wouldn’t turn on at all u0026 we did ask at reception if this could be looked at, but didn’t hear anything back. Luckily we’d brought our laptops so were able to use the wifi to watch something, but otherwise the tv situation would’ve been more frustrating. The rooms have air con but it only goes as low as 19c which is too hot (we stayed during the heatwave) u0026 needed to be cooler But we were very grateful For the fan that was already in the room. The bed was comfortable enough u0026 if you like a soft mattress would probably be perfect. There a choice of pillows which was great as I’m someone who doesn’t like a thick pillow. The duvet was far too heavy for this time of year so maybe it’s something for premier inn to think about changing. The room was clean but could do with having a bigger bin, especially if you’re not getting it cleaned every day. I can’t comment on the breakfast as we didn’t have it but there’s a Tesco close by if you want to pick something up quickly Or lots of cafes within walking distance. This hotel is located quite far down princes street as is a longish walk from the station or car parks in St James quarter, if you walking then I’d suggest walking through the park over the road or on the street behind u0026 then dropping down as it's a lot quieter, especially during the day. We didn’t eat in the restaurant next door, but you’ll find loads to eat along the street that’s no more than 5 mins away. Ask u0026 Wagamamas are close by u0026 both were good. The staff were lovely, all really chatty, helpful u0026 friendly . I can’t fault a single one of them u0026 even the staff on the desk at 3.30am when we left were lovely despite the early hour: Overall a really convenient place to stay, a few minor niggles but nothing that would put me off staying again.

I would like to say a massive thanks to the staff in the restaurant. They were absolutely brilliant, very attentiveu0026genuinely nice. The best burger I ever had. It was delicious. I was actually impressed it tasted soooo good. I can't remember the name of the burger but it was recommendation by the chef 👏 Rooms very spacious and smartly designed. My window view was not the best but I didn't mind at all. To compare with other places I actually think this hotel deserves 4*, not to sure why they only have 3*. I do recommend this place. All was superb. Never had a chance to taste breakfast as it was business trip therefore had to leave early for work.
