Premier Inn Edinburgh Leith Waterfront

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We like our 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Çok güzel , kahvaltı da peynir yok. Konum süper. Odalar güzel ve temizdir.

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.

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...
