Best stay
Pros:

What a lovely stay, the staff were so friendly and helpful they made me feel at ease. Probably the best Premier Inn staff I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with

They were having a refurbishment at the time, you could not tell work was going ok. The site manager for Novus was very nice and polite

New rooms look amazing I’ll definitely stay again, very clean and stylish

Premier Inn, Dalkeith
Pros:

A business/work weekend away with the partner, we were both doing VIP/Green Room security at a couple of darts events in Scotland and based ourselves at The Premier Inn, Dalkeith, Edinburgh.

A double bedroom booked, we had room 21 and a couple of unlimited breakfasts.

Hotel was ok, a typical Premier Inn, customer service pleasant and helpful, room clean and comfortable albeit a tad chilly, the en-suite fine.

Breakfast at the restaurant was good, give your name and room number and your unlimited breakfast is cooked to specification, all in all a steady good, happy enough to recommend.

Overall a very pleasant stay for one night and I would stay here again.
Pros:

Room was clean and had everything I needed. It was also very quiet given that it was near a main road. Check-in and out was straightforward with no issues. Staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was a bit limited in terms of choice and the space is quite small so it could get a bit crowded around the food when it was busy. Overall a very pleasant stay for one night and I would stay here again.

Needs more work
Pros:

Hotel scheduled for iminent refurb....it needs it. Blinking lights evident lots of areas. 1 key given which made transit in and out more difficult.
Food OK but no better. Appears packaged for the limit menu scope currently.
Single sheet toilet paper.....a bit like a motorway service station! Time to upgrade

Take disinfectant wipes
Pros:

The room was filthy. Cups not washed, door handles and skirting boards that hadn’t been cleaned in months and pubes in the bed.

Great transport links into the City
Pros:

I’ve stayed here a few times and it’s worth paying the extra from the plus rooms. They now charge for parking which used to be free but 4.50 for 24 hours is much cheaper than parking in the city. It’s a 9 min train journey into the city from right outside the door of the hotel, or you have a choice of the tram or bus.
If you’re not bothered about a view I would definitely stay here for a city break.

A lovely friendly and clean hotel
Pros:

A lovely friendly hotel, staff are helpful and the hotel and room were clean. Could have done with more tea and sugar in the room and some biscuits.

Well done Sandra, at Edinburgh Park Premier Inn
Pros:

My wife and I have just returned from two 1-night stays at this hotel and found it brilliant.
We've stayed a few times at the Edinburgh Premier Inn Hub hotel at Haymarket, which was great, but we fancied a little more room this time, so opted for Edinburgh Park P.I.
I had made a bit of a mix-up with regards my two bookings, but Sandra, on reception, sorted everything out and was most helpful. We saw her again when we returned for our second visit and she even remembered our names. She is a credit to the Premier Inn brand.
The hotel is easy to get to .. bus, train and tram stops are all nearby (less than 50m) and there's even a large retail park less than 100m away.
We shall certainly return to this hotel in the future

No reason to go back
Pros:

Used to use Premier Inn a lot but haven't for a while

Needed and overnight stay.
On the positive, room was a reasonable size, clean, bright, warm
Staff were friendly

But ...
extra charge for parking - this isn't a city centre hotel
Were told that restaurant was fully booked at our preferred time - it wasn't
TV was very difficult to control - not sure if this was the handset or the TV
"Hot" water was lukewarm
Old fashioned shower over bath - needs updating for safety
Meal menu was very poor - very limited choices especially for veggies. Bowl of nachos to share were lukewarm; slopped over with a minimal salsa, overloaded with jalapenos

Disappointed and will book elsewhere next time

Great stay near Edinburgh airport
Pros:

Premier Inn Edinburgh Park is just minutes from the Edinburgh airport, and I had a very early morning flight out. Turns out it was easy to get into town on the train (15 min.) and tram, both of which are right next to the hotel. Room was super clean, well serviced. Had everything I needed. Hotel and bar was hopping in the evening. Staff was friendly. Mini fridge was a nice touch, super market (Aldi) is across the street. It was a great stay.

Ideal location for me
Pros:

Location was ideal for me, just across the road from Edinburgh Park railway station. This was my first visit to a Premier Inn in years and I was unfamiliar with the QR check-in process. However, two members of staff offered to help immediately and made the process very simple. I'll know next time! My room was on the ground floor facing the car park, but very quiet. Room temperature was controllable easily. The en suite facilities were good, with a large shower. The bed was comfortable and the pillow ideal for me. Check-out was as easy as it gets, just dropping the room card in a box. I'd definitely use this hotel again.

Poor Sleep
Pros:

Was going well until 21:30 when upstairs came into their room. On and off all night stamping on the floor. Have no idea why grown adults would spend hours jumping and stamping! Finally stopped at about 0400. In the night I went to reception twice to complain but they could do nothing as they have to witness it. Spoke to manager in the morning and advised to speak to guest services on the phone as they can’t deal with complaints in house anymore. Luckily guest services apologised and offered a full refund. Would never stay here again. Breakfast not great either compared to other Premier Inn ones we have had.

Dalkieth premiere inn good and bad.
Pros:

The hotel facilities were fine and reasonably priced for a fairly good bedroom, however the bar is appalling, i paid £4.90 for a 330ml bottle of beer, (never again) and the evening food although palatable was short on chips, i got about 8 chips, not really a portion.

Absolutely awful.
Pros:

The quick check in machine doesn't work. Book a table for dinner only to be told it will actually not be available, in my mind im fine with that, a few refreshments eases the pain . . . . Nope, pretty much ignored by the bar staff and actually took another guest to say that i was next.

I enjoy Premier Inn hospitality generally which is why i use the Premier Inn at Edinburgh Park.

Currently wandering across the rail line to enjoy KFC.
Pretty sure they will feed me on time.

You need more staff in the restaurant and a shef that can cook
Pros:

Nothing the two day was a total disaster from the time we when for the evening meal on the Friday to the breakfast on the Sunday. We will start with the check-in which was good then we went for hour evening meal which costs £10.99 each the chicken was not very hot and the pasta was about £3 worth the waiter was run off his feet. Saturday morning breakfast one waiter on his own not a good idea. Sunday morning breakfast one young lady on her own no bread no plates no hot water. The breakfast itself was not cooked properly the ashbrouns inedible pork sausages not cooked a lot of trouble in the restaurant. Breakfast was £10.99 each the chef has no idea what he or she was doing. More staff needed as soon as possible.
HOPE I GET A REPLY FROM PREMIER INN

Pros:

Parking parfait, réception ouverte 24h-24h, chambre plutôt confortable, propre, petit déjeuner parfait avec du chaud et du froid. Un accueil chaleureux surtout au petit déjeuner qu'on prend dans un autre bâtiment. Bon rapport qualité prix

Would recommend
Pros:

I stayed the night recently when I was travelling by plane the next day. Easy to get to from Edinburgh airport and not too far from city centre.

The room was fine. I was a bit apprehensive about the window not opening and relying on air con but it did seem to work.

The bathroom was clean, everything seemed new.

I left something behind in the room and while it took a bit of investigating to find an email I did eventually find one, they were helpful and they kindly posted my item to me in a prepaid envelope.

The worst Premier Inn we've stayed in. Not recommended
Pros:

We've used Premier Inn many times over the years, for single night visits, because we've previously enjoyed a clean comfortable room and they're convenient. Dalkeith was absolutely the worst Premier Inn we've stayed in. The bathroom was dirty - hairball in the plug hole of the bath, hair in the basin, dirty hand marks on the door frame, mildew around the bath and pipes. Rotting skirtings. The on-site catering establishment has such poor reviews, we had to go to the nearest town for breakfast and dinner. It wasn't at all appealing.
