We stayed at this Premier Inn for one night. This is a basic no-frills hotel where most everything is extra. It costs extra to use a credit card, but the breakfast and Wi-Fi are reasonably priced. We were given a king room, but it had a queen sized bed. A towel warmer in the bath was a nice touch and unexpected. Staff was friendly and helpful. We'd stay again when in Edinburgh. 3 stars for a good basic hotel, one extra for the reasonable price and friendly staff.

Leith Waterfront, 51-53 Newhaven Place

Rating: 4.5/5

Ranked #78 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,683

The fact that the Leith Waterfront Premier Inn is last place on this list with an average score of 4.5/5 should tell you something about their quality. While there are a few mediocre reviews, most TripAdvisor users agreed that the hotel was at least serviceable.

What one visitor said: "Very basic and needs a major upgrade. Narrow bath with shower curtain which sticks to you and the thermostat delivers hot and cold water intermittently. Could get scalded! Lights not working and drab decor does nothing to enhance your stay."

More information is available here .

Princes Street, 121-123 Princes Street

Ranked #71 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 3,768

For what is probably among the most visited hotels in Edinburgh — being right on Princes Street — you may expect this Premier Inn to be higher on the list on the basis of convenience alone. However, some TripAdvisor reviewers weren't happy after arriving to find they had been placed in a basement room.

What one visitor said: "The Premier Inn Princes St, is a reasonably priced hotel in a good location. My major issue with the hotel is that unless you book a specific room type you may be allocated a room which is below street level and does not have natural lighting from a window. Customers are not informed of this situation when they make their booking and this is very unsatisfactory. I found the experience very claustrophobic and would not recommend staying in one of these rooms."

Edinburgh East, 228 Willowbrae Road

Rating: 4/5

Ranked #70 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 887

All reviewers were in agreement that this Premier Inn couldn't be faulted on its location, particularly for those keen to head up Arthur's Seat. However, there were a few that took issue with the service — with one stating that the hotel was "quite poorly managed".

What one visitor said: "Nice clean hotel, helpful friendly staff. Only bad point for us was the most uncomfortable bed ever. If we had been staying longer would have asked for a room change. A beefeater connected so ideal for a meal. Perfect location for Arthur's seat."

hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Royal Mile, 37 East Market Street

Ranked #60 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,900

hub hotels are slightly different to the standard Premier Inn experiences, in that their rooms are more compact, modern, and affordable. The first of three on this list, the Royal Mile branch has mostly great reviews — but a few complaining about its "dirty" rooms and "unorganised" service brought it down slightly.

What one visitor said: "This was my 1st visit to Edinburgh and I couldn’t have been made more welcome than from the staff at the hub. They were friendly & couldn’t do enough to help you. The bedroom was very clean. The hotel is situated about 10mins from the old town & the same to the new town."

Waverley, 24 Rose Street

Ranked #54 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 209

What one visitor said: "Stayed at Waverly Premier Inn prior to going to a concert. The room was clean,comfortable and even had a view of the Castle. Staff friendly and helpful on reception and in the breakfast restaurant. Would recommend and visit again."

Another Premier Inn in a great location, the vast majority of reviewers gave the Rose Street branch a 5/5 rating. While there were a few minor complaints regarding "loud fans" and the lack of a fridge in the rooms, most TripAdvisor users were unanimous in their praise.

Edinburgh Central, 82 Lauriston Place

Ranked #53 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,454

With only 43 1/5 scores and 1,248 5/5 ones, it's safe to say the Edinburgh Central Premier Inn is popular among visitors. Within easy reach of all the major tourist attractions, and with "lovely" staff, it's not hard to see why it's so popular.

What one visitor said: "A spacious room with a fab view and the comfiest bed ever! The room was clean and tidy, safe for my baby to crawl around. The travel cot was set up ready to go with a blanket provided. Fabulous and friendly staff and the breakfast was yummy too!"

Edinburgh A1, 91 Newcraighall Road

Ranked #51 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 836

Here's one for the keen golfers. With world-class golf courses just up the road, the Newcraighall Premier Inn certainly has a lot going for it in terms of location. Luckily, there seems to be just as many positive things to say about the hotel itself — with TripAdvisor reviewers in particular praising the "quiet" surroundings.

What one visitor said: "I stayed here for a short trip and it was just perfect. Close to useful amenities and for getting where i needed to be. The staff on site were very lovely, kind and helpful which really makes a great start to the day. I worked from my room and the WiFi was good and I was able to ask for more complimentary tea/coffee supplies which was super. Breakfast was a great hit too."

Edinburgh Airport, 1 Lochside Court Edinburgh Park

Ranked #50 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,747

Given its important location by the airport, it would have been unfortunate if the Lochside Court Premier Inn wasn't up to standard — fortunately it has earned rave reviews from visitors. Obviously, reviewers singled out the "handy" location, but praise was also given to the "fabulous" beds and "good food" at the restaurant.

What one visitor said: "This is a very comfortable and quiet Premier Inn. It has a coffee shop open during the day, and a restaurant with bar for the evening. There is a railway and tram station directly out side, and after using the bridge to cross the tracks you are in a shopping centre. The staff are kind and supportive. However one lady stood out. Her name is Angeles and she is extremely efficient and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble for her."

Royal Mile, 33 East Market Street Old Town

Ranked #35 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,266

The "excellent" staff were praised in the majority if reviews on TripAdvisor, as well the "spotless" rooms and "excellent" breakfast. Combined with its terrific location on the Royal Mile, and this Premier Inn is among the very best hotels to stay at in Edinburgh.

What one visitor said: "As always, can’t fault. Superb value for money, room spotless, breakfast excellent & central to all the sights. Staff really polite and helpful. A great base to stay & everything within walking distance. Will always look to use Premier Inn’s when away."

hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre, Rose Street South Lane

Ranked #28 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

The second of the hub hotels on this list, the City Centre one earned its place in the top three for its "immaculately clean" rooms, "excellent" location, and "helpful and always friendly" staff.

What one visitor said: "Stayed here for a family reunion 10 of us in total and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were excellent so friendly and so efficient. Check in was faultless especially as we were a big party. The hub was immaculately clean, facilities were first class and the continental breakfast was delicious and great value at £5 per person. This hub is City centre convenient to everything Edinburgh has to offer. We will be back and would not dream of staying anywhere else. Thank you for making our visit extra special."

Number of reviews: 1,178

hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket, Torphichen Street

Ranked #19 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

The Haymarket hub just edged out the City Centre one to be the highest-rated hub hotel in the city. Considering its slightly less optimal location, that says a lot. If you don't need to stay smack-bang in the centre of Edinburgh, then this could be perfect for you.

What one visitor said: "This place was safe and in a good location for what I needed. The rooms are small but comfortable. The staff was friendly. I would recommend this place to friends and family and I would feel comfortable staying here again."

Number of reviews: 661

York Place, 44 York Place

Ranked #18 of 165 hotels in Edinburgh

Number of reviews: 2,078

Here it is, the best Premier Inn in Edinburgh according to TripAdvisor. Despite only having an average score of 4/5, the York Place Premier Inn ranked above all others in the city. Taking a look at the reviews, it's not hard to see why. Reviews singled out the "comfortable" beds, "wonderful" staff, and "spotless" rooms.

What one visitor said: "This hotel has a fantastic location just off the city centre and very close to the amenities. It is also right next to the tram line and bus services. Our room was fantastic and well kept as are all Premier Inn places. The manager went out of his way to put us up in a lovely room with a view. The staff are wonderful and very friendly and helpful. Would definitely book with them again."

Budget hotel review: hub by premier inn, rose street, edinburgh.

ARE YOU THINKING OF STAYING AT THE HUB BY PREMIER INN, ROSE STREET, EDINBURGH?

Then you’ve come to the right place. I have stayed there and have written this  first-hand hub by Premier Inn Rose Street, Edinburgh review.

I’m a flashpacking type of gal, favouring boutique hotels over hostels. But one of my favourite ways to travel better for less is to sprinkle up-market accommodation choices with comfortable budget hotels.

I’m a sucker for Premier Inn hotels and have stayed in their hotels a number of times, including Premier Inn Heathrow T4 , a convenient base in Fort William and an affordable overnight stay in Leeds. This UK budget hotel chain has scooped up a number of awards for business and leisure travel and the brand offers reliable, if unexciting, budget accommodation in central locations.

I had been itching to try out their newer product, hub by Premier Inn , and was able to scratch that itch on a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland.

But is this a good choice of budget hotel in Edinburgh and what is it like to stay in a hub by Premier Inn? I spill the beans in this hotel review.

hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street, Edinburgh in a Nutshell

In a hurry? Let’s cut to the chase. This is why I think you should consider booking a room at this hub by Premier Inn in Edinburgh.

bed with white linen with large map above bed

What is the Difference Between hub by Premier Inn and Premier Inn?

Contemporary style and technology are at the forefront of the design of the hub by the Premier Inn brand. Their rooms are smaller and cheaper than those at a Premier Inn hotel.

In the words of Premier Inn, they are for those “who value price, location and design over space.”

Where is the hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street, Edinburgh Located?

This hub by Premier Inn is conveniently located on Rose Street in Edinburgh’s New Town , a ten-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station and a stone’s throw from many bars and restaurants.

hub by Premier Inn Review: Rose Street, Edinburgh

This hub by Premier Inn had two self-service check-in terminals. In keeping with the brand’s high-tech approach, you can scan the QR code on your booking confirmation email to check-in.

However, their friendly staff offered to do the business in the good old-fashioned way.

check in kiosks in hotel lobby

My room was on the top (5th) floor. Unfortunately, one of the two lifts was out of action for my entire 5-night stay, placing considerable pressure on the sole functioning lift (quizzing a staff member I was told that they were “waiting for a bit”).

What is the check-in time at the hub by Premier Inn?

The earliest check-in time is 2 pm. Check out by 12 noon on your departure date.

I stayed in a Bigger Room. As its name suggests, this is larger than the Standard Room and has a king-size bed.

As I was staying on the highest floor, I had a good view over Edinburgh’s Georgian rooftops. By night, blackout blinds kept out unwelcome light. Sound insulation was also excellent.

view of rooftops

Decorated in the hub by Premier Inn palette of acid green with splashes of purple and beige, the room was compact but well designed.

It had  good lighting  throughout, including downlighters which were controlled from an illuminated bed panel. More about that later.

Storage space  was adequate for a short stay. There was a large drawer under the bed plus a space to store small luggage. There were also hangers, concealed behind a mirrored panel, and two deep chest drawers.

As expected, the king-size Hypnos  bed  was very comfortable with decent linen and plump pillows. There were cubby holes at each side of the bed and a shelf running its width above.

bed with white linen with large map above bed

Facing the bed was a desk and chair .

Unlike standard Premier Inn hotels, there is no provision for making hot drinks in your room. Instead, free tea and coffee and orange juice are available 24/7 from the bar on the ground floor.

Power points  were plentiful and included one for European 2-pin plugs and one at either side of the bed. Whilst there was a hairdryer , there was no safe , fridge , iron  or  ironing board  in the room (the latter two were available from reception on request).

The room had thermostatically controlled air-conditioning and heating .

Featuring a useful night light, the  bathroom  was clean and cleverly designed with good lighting.

The powerful shower , enclosed within a perspex cubicle – none of the Premier Inn’s standard nylon shower curtains here – had both a rainfall showerhead and an adjustable one. I also liked the generous shelf within the shower cubicle.

Hand soap and body wash were supplied in wall-mounted dispensers and were of better quality than those you expect in a Premier Inn hotel.

Don’t expect to sink into the towels but they were reasonable quality. My one quibble is that there is only one small rail on which to hang wet towels. Whilst this isn’t too problematic for a single traveller, it could be challenging if two of you are sharing the room.

hub by Premier Inn smart controls

One design feature that distinguishes the hub by Premier Inn from Premier Inn is its use of smart technology to ensure a comfortable stay. An illuminated bedside touchscreen panel allows you to change your room’s lighting and temperature, as well as activate the exterior ‘Do Not Disturb’ and ‘Make up my Room’ signs.

There were three intensity settings for the room’s lighting. The only slight irritation was that I couldn’t see a way to operate the bathroom light independently of the main room’s lights.

The Premier Inn hub’s hotel room had a fabulous 40″ Samsung Smart TV. Much like citizenM hotels (one of my favourite mid-range chains), its library of more than 30 movies on-demand was completely free. The television also supported Apple AirPlay and Microcast for Android devices.

In a welcome departure from the basic Wi-Fi provided by its sister brand, the hub by Premier Inn’s complimentary Wi-Fi is fast enough to stream video and audio.

Eating and drinking at hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street, Edinburgh

Food and drink were available from the stylish lounge area on the hotel’s ground floor.

Continental Breakfast was available for £5 and comprised cereal, yoghurt, bakery item and unlimited drinks. A cooked breakfast is not available.

hub by Premier Inn FAQs

Do all rooms at the hub by premier inn have windows.

Claustrophobics be aware.

Some of the rooms at the hub by Premier Inn don’t have any natural light. As a friend once reported, it’s a little like staying in a cupboard.

Their booking engine does not state whether your room will have a window. If this is important to you, call Premier Inn with your booking reference number and ask them to allocate you a room with a window.

Is Car Parking available at hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street, Edinburgh?

hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre (Rose Street) does not have a car park.

How Much Does It Cost to Stay at the Premier Inn hub, Rose Street, Edinburgh?

Room rates depend on cancellation terms and season. In 2023, non-refundable rates for the bigger room start from as little as £41.

hub by Premier Inn offers three room rates:

  • hub Flex: Pay upfront. Fully refundable with free cancellation up to 1 pm on the day of arrival
  • hub Advance : Pay upfront. Fully refundable with free cancellation up to 28 days before arrival
  • hub Standard: Pay at the time of booking. Although this rate is non-refundable, you can change the check-in date at the same hotel up to 1 pm on the day of arrival.

Where are the other hub by Premier Inn hotels located?

As of August 2023, the 14 Premier Inn hub hotels are located in Edinburgh and London.

Is hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street a Good Budget Hotel Choice in Edinburgh?

In my experience, hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street is an excellent Edinburgh budget hotel choice.

It is keenly priced for the quality of accommodation, customer service was efficient and friendly and it’s a few steps from the bars and restaurants of the New Town. And if you are planning to take day trips from Edinburgh by train , Waverley Station is a ten-minute walk.

hub by Premier Inn vs Premier Inn: Which is Better?

This is a tough one to call but let’s look at the pros and cons of these two brands:

hub by Premier Inn is slick by design but small in space. Whilst the square footage of the room should not present a problem for solo travellers, it may be another story if you are sharing.

As a solo traveller, safety is extremely important and the location of this hotel was perfect in that it was a buzzy area and I could walk out of the door and find a great place to eat within a five or ten-minute walk.

But, as a true Brit, I love my morning cuppa and not being able to wake up with a cup of tea was a huge drawback. Let’s face it; I wasn’t about to throw on clothes and scamper down five floors for this caffeine hit.

When it comes to natural light it is a case of caveat emptor . However, on a subsequent stay at a Premier Inn in Liverpool , I discovered that some of their rooms also did not have windows.

I enjoyed my stay at the Edinburgh hub by Premier Inn and would book another stay with this brand. However, on balance, if faced with a choice and the costs were similar, I would probably opt for a Premier Inn hotel.

  15. PREMIER TRAVEL INN EDINBURGH

    1 review of Premier Travel Inn Edinburgh "We stayed at this Premier Inn for one night. This is a basic no-frills hotel where most everything is extra. It costs extra to use a credit card, but the breakfast and Wi-Fi are reasonably priced. We were given a king room, but it had a queen sized bed. A towel warmer in the bath was a nice touch and unexpected.

    In my experience, hub by Premier Inn, Rose Street is an excellent Edinburgh budget hotel choice. It is keenly priced for the quality of accommodation, customer service was efficient and friendly and it's a few steps from the bars and restaurants of the New Town.
