Excellent service
Pros:

Not our first visit to Newcraighall and, hopefully, not our last. As always, service was great. The hotel is in a great position, just across the road from a park and ride, making a trip into Edinburgh very easy. On our first morning, the breakfast room was incredibly busy as it was a Scottish Bank holiday. The two ladies working in there were brilliant. They were completely calm, friendly, cheerful and totally unflappable, providing an excellent, freshly cooked breakfast in a very clean and tidy environment for everyone. Well done to them.

A great location, the train station for Edinburgh city centre is a short walk away and only a 10 minute train.
The atmosphere is friendly and pleasant.
The rooms are clean and comfortable.
The value for money is really good- breakfast is also great with lots of choice available for anyone.
There is limited noise as it is a quiet location.
The service for breakfast and reception was exceptional- really helpful, polite and friendly making it a really pleasant stay.

Would stay again
Pros:

Arrived and were greeted with a friendly welcome from Wendy at reception. We were checked in quickly , she was full of lots of helpful transport information and local knowledge about great restaurants in Musselburgh. We ate at Parrilla Argentinian for dinner it was 10/10. The room was basic but comfortable and clean, nice bedding and fluffy towels.
We decided to have breakfast in the morning and for £10.99 it’s a bargain, considering a Starbucks and a croissant would cost £7. The breakfast ladies were very attentive and the food was fresh and piping hot, lots of choice. Lisa I think her name was made us feel very welcome and was so chatty.

Great breakfast cooked by a lovely lady.
Pros:

Clean comfortable hotel. Very friendly staff, especially the lady who cooks the breakfast. Managed to stay calm under pressure and cheery despite customers waiting for certain breakfast items to be cooked. The breakfast was really nice. The breakfast room could probably be a bit bigger.

Pros:

Quarto impecável, lençóis limpos e macios, toalhas limpas, a equipe muito gentil, o hotel é pequeno, mas muito limpo e organizado! Ao lado do hotel tem um pub que serve uma comida deliciosa! Em frente ao hotel tem parada de ônibus que vai direto ao centro de Edimburgo. O café da manhã é delicioso! Eu amei tudo!

Business Stay
Pros:

Same as most Premiere Inn hotels. good reception, great nights sleep and food was also good. The attached pub does great food but it does get very busy with the locals due to it's popularity so I would suggest booking ahead if you plan to have an evening meal.

mediocre experience
Pros:

great location for visiting edinburgh, across the road from the park and ride(only 4.20 return on the train). rooms were small and dated. asked for the room to be cleaned one day(we stayed 4 days), bed wasnt made, bin was emptied, but rubbish was left on the floor, pretty much a half arsed attempt at cleaning. my wife cut her finger on one of the breakfast chairs, and we were told we would recieve a refund for 2 days breakfast( but havent)

A hotel going down hill.
Pros:

Since covid, this hotel has gone down hill. We had to ask for a change of room due to noisy guests in the room above us. Yes, the staff did speak to them but there was no improvement. When we complained again,we were told by the reception that the guests were not breaking the law however, they would move us. Neither room had a bedside cabinet on one side of the bed and they placed a stool by the bed. There was no settee in the second room and the skirting in the bathroom was unfinished and unpainted. We have stayed at the Craig Hall premier inn on several occasions and each time,it gets worse.

A peaceful overnight and so handy for Edinburgh
Pros:

The receptionist was very welcoming and helpful, the room was comfortable and quiet, on the back of the hotel. It's great to get free parking and be a couple of minutes walk to a station for the train to Edinburgh which takes 10 minutes.

Great Location for Edinburgh Travel
Pros:

Premier Inn Newcraighall is a great place to stay if you are visiting Edinburgh. It may seem far from the city centre, but the Newcraighall train station across the street will get you downtown in 15 minutes for about $7 USD round trip. Shopping, coffee shops, and restaurants are close by, and the Cuddie Brae is connected to the hotel. The hotel staff is always friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Amazing
Pros:

This Premier Inn is by far the best one we have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff went above and beyond and were so kind. I would like to give a special mention in particular to two members of staff. Firstly, Lisa the chef; she is simply amazing and so easy to talk to. Secondly, Mikayla, she was so warm and bubbly and put us at ease from the moment we walked in.

Ideal base for travelling into Edinburgh centre and lovely staff.
Pros:

We enjoyed a one night stay at this premier inn as we were attending a wedding in Edinburgh. This is an ideal place to stay if you are planning a trip into Edinburgh, it’s walking distance from the train and is certainly very reasonable priced compared to those hotels in the centre of Edinburgh.
The room we stayed in was spacious and ideal for our stay, did notice it could do with a freshen up but that did not affect our stay.
Staff were all lovely.
The buffet breakfast was very good and plenty of choice, our only criticism would be that the breakfast room is quite small. The lady who was working on her own was absolutely lovely and did a great job seeing to all guests, very professional and friendly,
We would definitely recommend this premier inn and would return.
