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.

On a positive the "all you can eat " breakfast in the "BAR AND BLOCK" was superb , our evenin...

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

It was a very pleasant one week stay. The staff are helpful & accommodating. Their rooms are reasonable with their size. The beds are very comfy. A better work though can be done with the cleaning & room arranging. The place clearly lacks the staff for room service & cleaning despite their efforts. Small details are left undealt with in the rooms at times. If not mentioned then its not done due t...
