Guest Reviews

• lindasK3504YD (10/5): Quiet and comfortable - Lovely peaceful stay here, for a night at Festival Theatre. Clean, cosy room with a fabulous bed, I paid for a bigger room and still a great price. Good continental breakfast for £6. Definitely will return.
• 845richardi (2/5): Disgusting hotel. Not recommended, poor cleanliness and maintenance - I am genuinely astonished that we were charged £158 per night for this hotel. The room was disgracefully dirty. The carpet was heavily stained, clearly un-hoovered, and still covered in debris from previous occupants. The tub chair was filthy, the bathroom floor tiles were loose and missing grout, and the shower had black mould throughout. The blind was broken, and the AC unit was so caked in dirt that it was frankly a health hazard. Every surface had visible dust, spills, or splashes. The overall level of neglect was shocking, and frankly an embarrassment for Scotland’s hospitality standards. A quick look at other reviews shows this is far from an isolated incident. Even the cheapest hotels manage basic cleanliness, but at £158 per night, this level of filth is unacceptable. Premier Inn should be deeply ashamed to put guests in rooms like this.
• soniamI6009LP (10/5): Lovely relaxing stay - Great location, lovely, friendly, welcoming atmosphere, room were very clean and comfortable, excellent value for money, no disturbances for noise. Over all I would definitely stay again and recommend
• annemariemF7441GC (4/5): did not rest easy - bedroom and corridors smelt musty like stale cigarette smoke. fire alarm at 1am - unsure how staff were sure all people outside - no obvious sign of head count or checks undertaken could not get back to sleep after this disruption -
• susanjW3091MG (8/5): great nights sleep and fab location - lovely quiet room, and very comfy bed. Great location for getting the bus in and out of Edinburgh. Breakfast was first class. will definitely return :)
• andyhK8493KC (8/5): Comfy room - Good location plenty of parking friendly staff , room ok few niggles, cold. No plant Milk who uses baby cow milk in 2025 only two tiny coffee's. rest ok Breakfast and dinner good friendly staff and informed.
• Hilbill26 (10/5): Great place for an overnight stay - Great location and perfect for a,stay over after a show have been a few times now friendly staff and great value breakfast lovely bar area so handy for the city centre and train
• Lisaloops13 (8/5): Fab stay. Get what you pay for - Just had a night at the Hub with my hubby. Got exactly what we paid for. Great location. Right next to the train station. Walking distance to everything else. Easy check in and out. We had a standard double. Compact but very clean. Apart from the overly stained chair. Lots of storage. Bathroom nice size. Comfy bed. We just wanted somewhere to lay our heads so this suited us perfectly. Only downside was no kettle. Only a free tea and coffee station down on the bottom floor. Which if you are on the fourth floor like we were was a bit of a pain going up and down. We would definitely the Hub again for short stays again if we knew we were going to be out and about all the time.
• W5947NFbrookeg (8/5): Great Hotel in an Even Greater Location - Overall, it was a very nice stay in a clean room in an excellent location. The hotel is located between City Center and Old Town Edinburgh so you have to option to choose your vibe for the day. Lots of great cafes and restaurants around to choose from. The room itself was very clean, had everything you could need and was very "high-tech". The bathroom walls and door are glass though, with only the bottom portion being frosted, so unless you are solo, things might get awkward. The food offered was minimal but decent. It was far too expensive for what you were getting however, a premade, reheated dish. I would definitely stay here again in the future and will probably recommend it to my friends and family who visit the area.
• Getaway49014819417 (6/5): Tired and unclean hotel. Friendly staff. - I had 2 rooms booked and arrived just after 3pm. Neither of the rooms had been hoovered. the common areas had clearly not been hoovered that day either. Thanks to Christine at reception for hoovering them. We had to moved as the sink plug was jammed. (That room had not been hoovered either). Went to bed and noticed an accumulation of dust hanging from the ceiling and on the wall. Its a shame housekeeping has let down the hotel as the staff in particular Christine and James went above and beyond helping my mum when she thought she had lost her bank card. If it hadn’t been for the friendly staff I would have given 2 stars.
• Sandracmacl (2/5): Hotel fine Bar and Restaurant dirty - Hotel fine, standard you would expect from Premier Inn. Good location, excellent for Tram. Bar and restaurant awful. Stayed for long weekend and cleanliness of bar and restaurant not good. Same Food debris on floors under tables all weekend. Had been a roof issue debris from roof on floor for entire stay and a bed sheet hung up to disguise it! Chose not to eat there our first night when saw some of the food being served. Breakfast pretty poor quality less of a selection than I’ve experienced at previous Premier Inns. Can recommend Starbank Inn nearby for lunch or dinner.
• Trailadvisor (4/5): Poor breakfast service. - Great location for getting into Edinburgh. Refurbished rooms clean and tidy and at value for money prices. Superb sleep in comfortable bed. Checked in on their app but still had to go through the process on arrival so don’t see the point. Entering my details outside on a cold, wet and wintry day to pay for parking is not a great way to start my stay. Maybe locate machine indoors? Breakfast had empty hot food trays (no black pudding or fried eggs) and when I mentioned it I was made to feel it was my fault. No supervision and breakfast staff have a couldn’t care less attitude. Very poor customer service.
• 485shahrzadh (10/5): Thank you Sharon - We stayed at the Premier Inn Edinburgh Leith Waterfront Hotel. It had incredibly beautiful views. The hotel was clean and quiet, and the staff were very friendly — especially Sharon, who was helpful and kind 🥰. If I come back, I’ll definitely choose this hotel again.
• 377nasreena (8/5): Great location! - I stayed here for a couple of nights. You always know what to expect from them. Everything in clean room was as expected Great location just a few mins walk from waverley station and the royal mile. I had breakfast on my 1st day..for £6 it was good. Porriage, fruits, cereal and toast with various spreads. Tea and coffee available 24hrs day in dining area, though not even a kettle in the rooms Overall i would stay here again mainly for the location, and a decent hotel.
• andreasD8603YZ (2/5): Awful hotel stay anywhere but here - We stayed here in October for part of my husbands 50th birthday trip. Location was great but that is the only positive thing I can say about this hotel. worst hotel I have ever stayed in !! Sheets were stained and dirty, asked for these to be changed but weren't. During the night the lights and aircon kept coming on. We would turn them off an after half hour or so they would be back on again. As most people know Scotland isn't a tropical sunny place. We both ended up with colds ! I also have rheumatoid arthritis which was impacted by the air con and put a dampener on our stay as I was in pain. We tried to complain while we were there but there was 1 member of staff covering reception, check ins, restaurant and bar and the member of staff kept leaving our conversation to attend to other guests. We told him we would contact Head Office. Contacted Whitbread (Premier Inn) head office who said they couldn't help as it was a Hub so nothing to do with Premier Inn and we would need to contact the hotel directly. After several calls, emails, feedback forms we are still waiting for a response nearly a month after our trip. Awful customer service ! Terrible DIRTY hotel ! Avoid at all costs unless you don't mind being treated like an animal !
• J9459QPpetern (10/5): I keep coming back - I always stop at South Queensferry when travelling to Aberdeen, it's a very handy halfway point. I did prefer it when the old bridge was the one to use but at least the new bridge isn't too far away. My only complaint would be is the amount of coffee etc in the room, 3 coffee sachets for 2 people and no decaff option, a bit tight.
• 851bernadettet (8/5): Overnight stay - Premier inn in good location and close to public transport. Rooms clean and warm. Breakfast in the Brewers Fayre was poor and the restaurant needed a good clean and dusted.
• Jodieness93 (10/5): Premier Plus - Booked premier inn plus with a view and wow what a view we got. Right on the waterfront and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Tram is a 10min walk from the Newhaven stop and there is also a bus stop directly opposite the hotel that will take you to the main heart of the city.
• StuartW2192 (2/5): Avoid - The room was tiny. The ventilation was really noisy. No hot breakfast which I cancelled for the second morning as the selection was shocking. I was starving and had to go elsewhere to get some breakfast. Why would ypu have this type of hotel. I booked this one by mistake. I meant to book the one next door which I have previously stayed in
• jodU4599HV (10/5): very friendly and helpful - Katrina on the front desk went above and beyond to help us. We were very pleased with our stay and would return and recommend.
• 635DanielM (4/5): Wouldnt recommened, due to service and cleanliness - Stayed for 3 nights st the end of october. On arrival the room wasnt prepared correctly as the childs bed had no bedding. Enquired at the desk and around 2hours later somebody turned up with a pack and said they would sort this when we left for tea. The room itself wasnt very clean either, dusty and still had dirt marks and cup rings on the table. We enquirrd about a plug for the bath but had no joy getting one. We walked past the same piece of rubbish in the corridor for the duration of our stay. There was a fire alarm at 6am, we was left outside in the freezing cold without and information or updates. After around 20 mins and the alarm being off for 5 mins, i went inside to ask. I told them there was around 20 people still outside cold and without any information. They saod yeah its all fine you can come back in. Quite poor service in my opinion. The breakfast area was aagin unclean, the plates could do with washing better also. I found hair in the food, includong in the closed pot of tomatoes on the hot buffet.
• laurensC2513WK (2/5): Poor standard of cleanliness - First room we were given was obviously not cleaned properly or at all. The bed was not made correctly and the bathroom was visibly used and dirty. The second room was an accessible room on the 1st floor. At first the lady at the front desk said they had no other rooms but she managed to find this one. We went in and this wasn’t much better. We took 17 hairs off the bedding and there were stains on the bedding too. The bathroom was also grotty but cleaner than the last one. There was black mould all around the shower head and the hand soap dispenser. Oh and over the carpet were bits that looked like mouse poo. We will definitely never stay here again. Which is sad as we usually find premier inns to have better standard than this.
• 962coreyf (8/5): Great location, comfortable room. - This hotel was very much central to all the fun things to do in Edinburgh. The room was clean and the staff attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, the WiFi was out and being 8000 miles from home without WiFi to contact family and friends was a bit painful. The room controls for lights and such were also kinda confusing, albeit, very sleek and modern. It didn’t seem like there was a way to turn on a light in the bathroom without lighting the entire room and disturbing those sleeping. Overall, a very nice hotel and would recommend (assuming the fix the WiFi).
• GordonA312 (2/5): Dirty, noisy & unwelcoming - If you like a friendly clean value for money hotel this isn’t for you. Despite booking and paying for an early check in the process took about 20 minutes due to only have one staff member of duty who seemed to be having to juggle all the front of house jobs himself. As you’ll see from my pictures the room was pretty dirty. I’d go as far as say it’s the dirtiest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in!!! The mural of the wall is literally covered in dust and has clearly never been dusted. The carpet is covered in marks and stains and the bathroom is exactly the same marks dust and questionable stains everywhere. If we didn’t absolutely need to stay here we’d have packed up and gone home. The noise level in room overnight was also terrible there a fan that runs blowing constant air into the room and everyone you open the bathroom door a noisy extractor fan tickets in a runs for 10 minutes. You don’t even need to put the light on for this to start. After we came back from the theatre we wanted to grab a quick drink in the hotel bar before heading to bed however staff advised there was a problem with the till. He sought a supervisor who came but couldn’t get the till working either so rudely said it wasn’t possible to purchase any drinks or snack. We asked if these could be added to our room and he replied “ no we don’t do that”. So much for customer service. I’ve stayed at many Premier Inn hotels including the Hub brands over recent years and I’ve never had as poor experience as this. £175 for a night is an absolute joke and we will never stay here again.
• Pioneer186157 (4/5): Budget version of Premiere Inn - Hotel is well situated just off the royal Mile with shop close by for essentials The downstairs is nicely laid out with free tea/Coffee available. Rooms are small but adequate. Only downside is room service as in cleaning! Didn’t see anyone near our room for 4 nights 5days. Beds small but comfortable.
• Q762LBmarkh (10/5): Lovely stay - We had a lovely break at Edinburgh. Our room was lovely, comfortable and quiet. Very good sleep and nice food from the restaurant both breakfast and dinner.The tram was easy and efficient at a reasonable price.
• andypratt40 (8/5): A Five Night Break - Recently stayed at the Hub. Checking in and out was simple. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and tidy. Had a good range of food and drink for breakfast and throughout the day.
• Maharg2255 (6/5): Everythings not Premier, good night sleep not guaranteed! - Room 202 was okay, however it does not have a conventional window. Rather it has a Velux / roof window. This caused some concerns. To open it I had to stand on a chair and then on the table to reach the opening latch. Likewise to close the blind I had to do the very same. I'm not short (5ft 10) but this I feel was an unsafe practice. Also the blind did not close correctly, it sagged out of the frame and also failed to stay shut. It was mentioned to a member of the team on the day, but nothing could be done. We also mentioned it on checking out and was told 'thats a shame' If I was to stay again then I would ask for another room.
• 50JayneS (6/5): Comfy room - Entered reception , two people behind counter , neither said hello ,as were on their computers . After a short while one did say I’ll be with you in a minute . Once dealing with our booking , the other lady started to question her about her days off - I thought this wasn’t very professional - she was busy with our booking/ meal deal. Rooms very comfy and clean . Next morning when a refill toilet roll was needed I had to wait a while - 4 mins maybe and pressed reception button twice before anyone came - maybe a staff shortage and not the staffs fault ?
• Passport62464513941 (8/5): Premier Queensferry stay. - The hotel is in a prime location for my visit. 15 mins walk down to the banks of the Firth of Forth. And a few minutes from the Dual carriageway. The Brewers Fayre next door was very comfortable & and very good tasty meals i enjoyed in a quiet surrounding. Also there is an M&S shop and petrol station 2 minutes walk and a Macdonalds restaurant in between.
• Carperdiem (8/5): Ok hotel option - Our room was fine, although it was a long, long way away from check-in and entry to the building. The hotel itself is very near Leith waterfront shops, which includes a great fish and chip shop plus some other good restaurants and an ok local pub. It's also very close to local buses and trams, so it's a reasonable, cost-effective option for Edinborough given the prices in UK. It's at least 25 minutes walk to the attractive area of Leith itself, which is worth the walk.
• lyndseym853 (10/5): Excellent - Great experience. Would definitely use this hotel again.Great service, clean and comfortable. Enjoyed this stay from start to finish.
• V791JAanns (2/5): Claustrophobic and shabby - The rooms at The Hub are WAY BELOW the normal standards I expect from the Premier Inn. The carpet was very stained, the duvet cover didn’t fit, the lack of a window made the room claustrophobic, and the noisy air con made sleeping a challenge. I certainly won’t be staying at a Hub like this ever again, as it wasn’t good value for money
• 968johnw (10/5): Premier Inn - Gold Standard - We have stayed at Premier Inns as we generally receive a good standard of service which lives up to expectations. This Premier Inn was one of the best with exceptional customer service where nothing was too much trouble. Great room, clean, modern and exactly as we would have hoped for.
• kickinaboot (8/5): Good - Good value for money in general. Room could’ve been doing with aircon and sleep was disturbed as the hotel is quite noisy but the family room was a good size and if you’re not sensitive to the noise you’ll be fine. As with all Premier Inns, it’s clean, staff are helpful and the breakfast is good value in these days of everything costing a fortune. Plenty of parking but is £5 for the night, which isn’t bad for the location.
• C0c0andc0 (10/5): Gluten Free Gold - I stayed with a family group, all adults. Two of us need gluten free. The restaurant cooked our hot breakfast separate from the buffet. It is so rare to find a reasonably priced hotel restaurant that understands cross contamination of gluten. I felt they took real care, so much better than my usual experience when I am offered a slice of gluten free bread to toast in the shared toaster and a buffet. The breakfast was delicious. The restaurant staff were charming, especially the chap and lady (who he, jesting, described as his sister) running the restaurant, they were lovely. Thank you, you made my stay special!
• valw586 (4/5): Cold and disappointing for the amount of money I paid. Never again. - I had to ask for the TV to be connected. I tried to get some heat in my room but failed. Had to go downstairs again for help - by this time feeling very cold and disappointed. Was provided with a portable electric heater. Bathroom was freezing! At 84 years old - not a pleasant stay!!
• V7686EXnataliat (4/5): No room cleaning, loud AC - I can’t rate this hotel very highly—the only real pro was the location, as it was great for getting places. However on the first night our room had very loud bubbling and hissing pipes. We spoke to the manager about this and he tried a few things but honestly didn’t seem to know what he was doing, as he kept blaming it on the air con when it seemed clear to me it was unrelated since turning the air con to our room completely off didn’t stop the noise. They didn’t move us to another room as it was full apparently, didn’t give us any kind of money back, only gave us breakfast in the morning free which was better than nothing. The next day they were able to move us into a new room, which thankfully had no noise. But after sleeping there a night we needed the room cleaned. they don’t do this automatically and you have to ask at the desk, which we did, but when we came back to the hotel they clearly had not been in the room and had only left fresh towels outside the door, which is not something we needed—we needed bins emptying and fresh sheets but were forced to sleep on ones with a stain.
• OscilateWildly (6/5): A bit 50-50 - Lovely, friendly, helpful staff. Great location. The room's carpet and chair were both really badly stained. Heating was not easy to adjust, and air con was noisy, so I had a choice - no sleep because I was too hot or because the air-con was too loud. Bedding didn't fit and mattress topper had a hole in it. Not cheap, so Premier Inn really should do better. My first stay in a Premier Inn, not entirely sure I will stay in one again.
• 163mrst (10/5): Amazing stay - I will give this the W0W factor Room very clean All staff very accommodating and friendly I like the system with the Tea coffee sugar and milk it was all available at the reception Wish I could of stayed a bit longer Mrs T
• matt2612 (8/5): Pillows were …. - …very hard! Room was clean and adequate for our one night stay. Brewers Fayre next door provided breakfast and dinner. Staff were very friendly.
• Isabelle (10/5): - We like our stay
• GeorgieBillie (4/5): Not very good really!! - Really gone down hill! Stayed here many times and always a pleasant and easy place to stay for a reasonable price Now expensive and hotel dirty and in need of a huge revamp Not sure why it’s looking so tired so quickly
• madison5 (8/5): Great location and food - Location, check in, staff, food, unlimited tea and coffee - could not fault. Bed was comfy with clean bedding. However, the room was not clean. Carpet heavily stained, thick dust on all skirting boards, door hinges and mould spores in shower cubicle.
• Scenic60404291018 (10/5): Thanks James ☺️ - I visited south queensferry for a friends wedding. I checked in late on the Sunday after a delay meant a missed connection so had dinner (and then breakfast the following morning) in the hotel. Having a dairy intolerance can sometimes make you feel a bit of a pain in the bum, and travelling solo can feel a bit awkward, but not with James. I was so well looked after! Thank you James for all the extra care and the friendly chatter, I felt relaxed and safe straight away. Shout out aswell for Ann at breakfast, and the blonde lady on reception (I missed your name) who were equally as welcoming and accommodating.
• TheCityBreakers (8/5): Great for the old town and station - This hotel is very convenient for Waverley Station and the old town. It is within easy walking distance of Holyrood Palace, Princes Street, the national gallery and the castle. The rooms are quite ingeniously designed and the bed was very comfortable, but it must be a bit cramped when there are two people in it. The only downsides were the soundproofing between the rooms which should have been better in a modern hotel and the carpet was stained. The bar area was really nice and welcoming and the all you can eat continental breakfast was good value for £6. The staff were all helpful and friendly.
• 346louised (8/5): 3 nights stay - Good location, but the bed and pillows were not as good as other Premier inns znd we stay at them regularly all over the country. Room was clean and warm we didn't have breakfast because the Brewers Fayre next door was vile. Reception staff very friendly and accommodating.
• S2197BUdavidc (4/5): Scout your room out before arrival - Reception staff very friendly. First room had a missing latch on the dorma window that had been replaced with a cup hook. I presume the cup hook was for the broken blind to latch onto when you pulled it down at night!!! We brought it to receptions attention and were moved to room 29. Avoid at all costs. Right on top of entrance/exit 2 which is also labeled a fire exit. Clashing from early morning to late at night. We'd already unpacked and decided to sleep on it but we're woken by an insomniac with lead slippers pacing around. Reception told us there were no more rooms available and that they could see about moving us to another hotel. Can't fault the staff. They were just doing their job but looking on the reviews after our visit,the first room had been highlighted with the window and blind two weeks previously. I'm presuming Henny Lenry hasn't had the pleasure of staying here.
• FarAway52961167426 (2/5): A tired rundown hotel - It was really dirty, tired, scruffy as we drove up to it. Got into reception and receptionist Sandra said Trip.com had not paid them so technically she couldn’t book me in, so after lengthy calls to Trip.com she agreed to let us book in and I have to say she turned out to be a gem. Next the room we had been assigned the bathroom was dirty needed some deep cleaning which was dreadful as it was a room normally used for disabled, bed was a lot lower to ground etc. the carpets all needed a good clean both in our room and all the hallways, restaurant etc. if you went to resteraunt which we did you had to go past all the smokers outside door of reception & restaurant it was dreadful. They ran out of food both nights we ate there, The saving grace was Sandra in reception and manager of restaurant Francesca who went over and above to be helpful.
• F8355ZXstephenm (4/5): Sadly a poor experience - We had used this hotel on a previous occasion very satisfactorily. The location is very good and interesting. However, on this occasion - possibly due to the fact that the hotel was VERY busy over that weekend, it was not satisfactory. The level of cleanliness was below par. The food at breakfast was also below par. As ever, the WiFi provided was dreadful! In this day and age that level of internet access is not acceptable.
• lei11 (6/5): Stay spoilt by parking charges. - Nice hotel but parking is a rip off. They say it’s £5 for 24 hours but we arrived 3pm Monday, left 10 am Wednesday and were charged £15. £5 for each day. You then get charged 20 p for the receipt for the parking. Last time we came here parking was free.
• Simondix49 (10/5): A good place to stay in Edinburgh - Excellent all round experience. Lovely walks by the waters edge. Good pub fare At Brewers Fayre, part of the complex. Discount available if you follow the QR code on the menu. The only downside is the requirement to pay £5 per day for parking, everything else was excellent
• BarbaraRiekwel (8/5): Pleasant stay - I was a bit concerned when reading the reviews but we only wanted a bed for a night before our flight and Premier Inn is usually our first choice due to the locations and we know what to expect. Room was large, clean and so was the bathroom (bath and shower). We were on the first floor and could see the bridges. Car park does get busy and it can get a bit of a squeeze but when we arrived there was still plenty of space. Friendly staff, so it was an overall pleasant stay for us.
• WDbxl (10/5): Delightful option for solo travel in central Edinburgh - As a first-time Hub user, I loved the concept of this hotel. The location was perfect for my work needs, just across from the council and U.K. government complex and around the corner from Holyrood. The room is compact, but clean and comfortable. The mattress is especially great and the furnishings feel more “premium” than in other budget/pod concepts where I’ve stayed previously. The reception team was great, the early check in was readily available for a reasonable additional £15, and the cool aircon and big TV (with easy plugin for my fire stick) made it easy to relax in the evenings after work. If you are not travelling solo, then the main room will be too tight for you and you should get the “big” one (which even then, be aware is quite compact!). The breakfast is quite light - which I honestly prefer - and consists only of a croissant, pain au chocolates, yogurt with granola and berries, and coffee/juice. On the other hand, it’s cheap (£6)! I could imagine a few details in the new-build hotel will need to be refreshed soon (my window shade was a bit deteriorated and the TV wouldn’t turn off without using the switch at the mains, for example) but as long as the operator keeps on top of this, the hotel should remain my go-to choice for business in Edinburgh.
• tandcpaine (4/5): Poor value - Very poor value for money: minimal tea facilities, confusing shower system (no instructions), over sensitive fire alarm (false alarm at midnight), room charge far too high. All a pity, as we have found other PIs very good.
• Cavit (10/5): Aile seyahati - Çok güzel , kahvaltı da peynir yok. Konum süper. Odalar güzel ve temizdir.
• 79grantr (6/5): Comfortable stay but let down by same old internet issues - Comfortable stay, but even the premium WiFi was throttled to 2010 speeds. When are premier in going to address this problem and provide free high speed internet as standard like every other hotel chain in the world.
• juliem303 (10/5): thank you Christina - we arrived very late due to very late flight to Edinburgh from Portugal. I had phoned head office to let them know .We where meet by a lovely lady call Christina who was on night reception she gave us all the information we needed about parking and hotel room and check out . She had been informed that we would be later than first thought.
• jonteepierre (6/5): A roof over our heads - but wouldn't choose again. - This is a tired Premier Inn - less Premier and more second division. To compete against the EASY style Hotels it needs to up its game. £200 for the night was expensive. The car park, however, is large and good value at £5 and the breakfast and the neighbouring and associated Brewers Fayre was of the usual high quality. Having checked in online - both check in machines were out of order - so it had to be done manually. The "Exceptional" wifi cost extra but was unobtainable and only had one bar in our attic room - so we used our 4G phones instead and the velux window blind was held in place with a small cup hook as the mechanism had broken - while the sheets although washed were stained. Had it been £120 a night I would have shrugged and let these things go...
• Scenic792728 (10/5): Wedding anniversary 20 years - We came and stayed for 3 nights at Leith very nice, the staff were very friendly and helpful we were staying for our anniversary
• nimik2024 (6/5): Early check-in not early - We stayed at the Leith Waterfront Premier Inn with an early check-in option, however this was not honoured and we still await a refund. The Brewer's Fayre restaurant could do with an overhaul as we noted the carpet was full of the previous night's dinner/crumbs on the carpet and seats! In addition Premier Inn could do well from investing in a 'Henry' hoover as the carpet in the bedroom was very dusty and smelled musty! However, the parking facility was good but we didn't have to pay for parking at this hotel before but did this time! Location wise the hotel was perfect and the nearby harbour restaurant fish and chips were to die for! Yum!! :)
• John (8/5): - Was exactly what we expected. One room had no antislip mats.
• julieta Berta Mitnik (2/5): - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
• nancy (6/5): Needs more attention to grounds--Rooms were fine - The room itself was clean and fine.. Since it was a hot stretch, it was essential that they provided a fan. The lack of air conditioning is, I guess to be expected, but the thermostat in the room did appear broken. My major concern was with the lack of upkeep of the parking lots and grounds of the hotel. Twice there were broken bottles by the building, and the tables frequently needed more cleaning at the restaurant. The outside tables sat with glasses on them for hours at a time. An ice machine would be a nice touch somewhere in the hotel too. But the bed was comfortable and the room was clean
• Murray (2/5): - Our bike got stolen there overnight, very bad experience.
