Premier Inn Edinburgh Leith Waterfront

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.

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.

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

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 -

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 :)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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

Katrina on the front desk went above and beyond to help us. We were very pleased with our stay and would return and recommend.
