Reviews of Hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh (Royal Mile)
Kyra McCready
It was cosy. I loved the touch control panel for the lighting and everything near the bed. Felt really safe and secure staying there. The room lacked cleanliness. The air conditioner did not operate correctly. I couldn't open a window either. There was also a strong flashing fire alarm light throughout the night.

I've used the Premier inn Hub before and I love them. The rooms are small but if all you need in a room is a place to sleep and a place to wash with a TV to chill with at night then that's fine.

Rooms were fine, AC works on and off but cools the room nicely, which is a necessity since the window doesn’t open. Bathroom could use some better cleaning / maintenance but it does what it should. Overall a decent option if you’re in the inner city for a few days.

Cool little hotel. The room I stayed in was small (one double bed) but in a good way. It was cosy and enjoyable. Loved the touch control panel for the lights, AC, and heat, all by the bed. And of course you cannot beat the lovely rainfall shower. Highly recommend the hotel!

The bed is tucked in on 3 sides so you have to climb over your mate to get out. Mattress was comfortable. Pillows were too flat. The room was clean, except for the carpet. That was very stained, dirty, outdated. The bathroom is not private. It has...
