I would stay here again.  Excellent value when touring the city, especially when it’s raining.  You are close to everything.

Wonderful stay very close to everything.  Close to train station, bus station, and Royal Mile.  .

The room I was given smelled horrible.  Somewhere between a men's locker room and a dirty mop that has never been cleaned!!!  I asked to be switched to a different room and was told they would try and to check back.  When I checked again, I was told they were going to deep clean the room and didn't have any other rooms.  Luckily, I stopped by the store to buy a can of air refresher because I didn't trust them and for good reason.  The room still has the same odor but at least they changed out the stained comforter.  One of the kiosks at check is broke and the other one has a broken call button.  The employees don't seem too thrilled to have to help people.  If I could have found another hotel for close to the price I booked a year ago I would have left quickly.  I thought I would be safe booking a chain like Premier Inn but apparently, they do not have all the same standards.  Book somewhere else!!!

Beware!!!

Long queue at checkin in. Dirty, poorly maintained room with pubic hairs in bath, poor splattering by the side of the toilet, USB socket didn't work, no shavers point, filthy skirting board and floors, rotten wood between the bathroom and bedroom.  Staff were friendly but the hotel was one of the worse rooms I have ever stayed in. Took 40 minutes to check in.  Great location in central Edinburgh but not the standard I expect from Premier Inn. Tried to upload pictures but couldn't.

Dirty dysfunctional hotel, very poor service, poor amenities

Birthday treat with the GF Brilliant location for the Waverley train station and ergo for walking a large portion of the city 

Check in was a breeze and got in slightly early without the £10 fee they advertise

Paid for breakfast when I booked and that was decent and plentiful 

Loses a “star” for two/three reasons.

1. No towels (ok 1 titchy one) when we got it (that was quickly rectified on seeing a housekeeper 👍

2. Stayed two nights be told no housekeeping unless requested (fair enough could’ve done that but we didn’t 

3. The wifi 🛜 is poor 

Would I recommend ?

Defo

Central situation good for train station

I stayed for four nights. As I had needed to extend my stay in Edinburgh, and the East Market Street location was fully booked, I booked an additional two nights in the Premier Inn on Rose Street, so I was able to compare both. At each location, reception was often left unmanned, and although I understand a business needs to ensure staff are kept busy, it was frustrating having to buzz and wait for someone to help, wondering if they have heard the buzzer as they have taken a couple of minutes to appear. Checking in was meant to be done at a self service screen but it was impossible to format key cards and a member of staff said that part rarely worked. The location of the East Market Street hotel was great and very convenient. It was an easy five minute walk from Waverley Station and very close to the Royal Mile. I was pleasantly surprised to find I had a bath as well as a shower. The room was very clean, although there was a little mould in the bathroom which should have been easy to remove. I slept well as the location was quiet. However, it was usually impossible to connect to the free WiFi and I ended up paying an extra £5 for "premium" 24 hour access three times during my stay. The fact that there was a premium option suggests the hotel knew the free WiFi was problematic, and I resented paying extra for a connection. Would I stay here again? No. It ticked a lot of boxes, but my stay at the second Premier Inn was better, no mould, comparable rooms, still a good location and reliable fast and free WiFi.

Great location but free WIFI rarely worked!

This is our 3rd visit for the tattoo/fringe and it was yet another very  good stay in premier plus rooms.

The breakfast was as always excellent and it sets you up for the day.

The beds are comfortable and rooms cleaned if you ask.

Rooms had everything needed and will,probably be back here next year!

Another good stay

Superb location.  Really easy to find as we got the train into Waverley Station.  Close to the Royal Mile.  Beds and shower really good as expected, huge fluffy towels.  Really musty smell in room and as windows don't open was a bit unpleasant when first entering.  Rooms warm, aircon was adequate.

Fabulous location, great facilities in the room.

We enjoyed our stay at this Premier Inn. It is a block off the main road that leads to Palace of Holyrood House one way, and the Edinburgh Castle the other way. (The Royal Mile) It is only a 5 minute walk to Waverly train station. 
There is so much to see and do in the area. Plenty of places to eat and shop as well.

We really enjoyed the breakfast, so include that with your stay if you like  good breakfast. (Kids eat free!) The food is made fresh that day, and you can even watch them cooking it in the kitchen. It is all buffet style, with a good selection of teas, juices, and coffee. It was a great way to start each day. They also serve dinner there.

The room was great. I was travelling with my two granddaughter's, and they had a queen bed and a single. I wish the window could have opened up, but not a deal breaker. The pillows were a little flat for my liking, but the bed was very comfortable.

We were in room 116 on the first floor. It was at the end of the hall, nicely secluded, and had a great view across the train tracks. Check in and out was super easy. The staff was wonderful!

Would easily stay again

easy to get to from airport. clean and tidy. delicious breakfast. slept extremely well. hotel was nice and quiet, no doors banging, no kids running around, no loud patrons. great location for exploring city and near major transport links. evening meal was awful though. check in was pleasant. check out wasn't. would stay again if in Edinburgh

city break

Great stay in a quiet well located Premier Inn. Had internal facing, top floor room. Can’t fault the location: literally 1 minute from the Royal Mile.
