This hotel was very quiet, which was wonderful. The location was decent as it was close to Portobello Beach and had a bus stop right in front of the hotel that took us directly to the Royal Mile. The price was good for what we got, would have loved if the staff was a lot more helpful rather than just pointing at their brochure board when asked questions.
They were renovating. But still good. The only real complaint is it’s pretty far away from the core. You have to take the bus instead of the tram which is less convenient. But great staff.
The staff was great. The room was clean. A confusing experience is the lack of signage for the hotel entrance and parking when driving onto the property.
Our stay at Premier Inn was enhanced by the staff. They were very helpful. We did not have enough outlets at the property.

This is a well-located hotel on several bus routes with a handy Tesco next door. The room was clean and comfortable despite showing its age in places, and both the bedroom and bathroom were spacious.
The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection of hot and cold food in unlimited supply.
However, the hotel needs a bit of an overhaul, which perhaps it's currently getting according to some posted signs. The restaurant is in a sad state overall, with carpets and furnishings very worn and stained, and badly in need of replacement. The 50-year-old steakhouse (where breakfast is also served) was hardly open outside of breakfast hours, and the bar closed at 10 on the rare nights it was actually open. Staff availability seems to be an issue, but we must say that the staff at breakfast worked hard and were very pleasant.
We would return for the location and the breakfast but hope to find a refreshed hotel next time.
Very close to mass transportation, bus stop only 2 minutes from property. Very convenient to walk to King Arthur’s Seat and Sheep Heid Inn as well as Duddington Kirk. Overall a very good experience.

We have a few complaints about our stay. The room was dirty, with lots of dust, cobwebs, and a dirty toilet. I ordered room service only once in four nights, and it wasn't very good. The positives include the comfortable bed and the friendly and helpful staff.

Staff was super friendly, and the location was in a nice quiet little area not too far from city center (by car)
Rooms are spacious, close to bus stop to city
Many lines available. The best is the breakfast, variety and quality. Good value

Staff was super nice and accommodating. The room just didn't feel that clean and it's not really within walking distance from where we were everyday. The price was convenient and I feel like we definitely got what we paid for.
We stayed at this property in Aug -2026 for around 3 days-Aug 2 to Aug 4. We reached the property and was disappointed to learn that our rooms were not even ready , the reception desk rushed to allocate a room which was way different than the the rooms booked although we were charged a early check in fee (we reached 3 hours before)(the room was smaller and the amenities were missing) When reported the variance in the rooms booked (as per the pics) then we were offered a new room upstairs which was again too uncomfortable and very unclean, there were cob webs at the corner of the ceilings , which was way disgusting and uncomfortable to sleep . The price of the property paid doesn't match our expectations, I also have pictures about the cob webs , my kid was scared to sleep in that room, and we didn't feel comfortable at all staying there, a very gloomy experience over all.
We have stayed in the family room with two children. They had two beds next to the 2 person bed. It was clean and basic but good. There is a good bus connection to the center or you can walk to it through the park. The staff was really nice and the food is good.
