Had a lovely time in Edinburgh and although we didn’t spend a lot of time at the hotel its functional and very central and within good walking distance of a lot of the major tourist spots. What we really liked was the service provided. I had a minor issue but I had a quick solution from the hotel team. It was my nephew’s birthday and it was casually mentioned to Shabana and when we later came back...

We’ve stayed in several Premier Inns this year – Berwick, York and Edinburgh – and every single one has been fantastic. The hotels are always spotless, clean and tidy, with everything just as you’d hope. The staff have been amazing everywhere we’ve stayed – so welcoming, friendly and helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble. Breakfast is simply outstanding. I always seem to eat more while on hol...

We asked for accommodation ahead of time because we had an issue at a previous Premier in,...

Small details are left undealt with in the rooms at times. If not mentioned then its not done due t...
