I had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful location near the waterfront and easy access to public transport. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, offering stunning views. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, particularly regarding breakfast quality. Overall, I appreciated the friendly and responsive staff but felt that aspects of the dining service could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The quayside location offered a peaceful atmosphere, and I enjoyed easy access to public transport and nearby shops. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, making my experience more enjoyable. However, I did notice some areas that could use a bit more attention, especially regarding cleanliness in the room and the breakfast options available.

Rooms

7.0

The room was mostly clean and spacious, equipped with the usual amenities, but I found that the carpet could have used better vacuuming as there seemed to be some dust in corners. The bed was comfortable, providing a nice place to rest after a long day.

Service

9.0

The service was exceptional; the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was satisfactory. They were always available to help and very accommodating with any requests I had.

Location

9.0

The location was a big plus—situated right on the waterfront with stunning views and convenient access to various transport options. I loved being close to the Royal Yacht Britannia and other attractions without being in the busy city center.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast options could be improved as I found the food to be lukewarm and there were some limited choices available for vegetarian options. However, the convenience of having the restaurant next door was a definite advantage.

Facilities

7.0

Facilities were adequate, with parking available and a small play area for kids in the pub next door. While useful, there wasn't anything particularly standout about the amenities offered at the hotel.

7.0/10

My stay at the hotel was quite a mix. The views from the room were simply stunning, overlooking the harbor, which added a lovely charm. Parking was free and the staff were genuinely accommodating and helpful, making my visit pleasant. However, the dining experience, particularly breakfast, fell short on some mornings due to a lack of replenished items, and I encountered a persistent noise issue during my stay that affected sleep quality.

Rooms

The Premier Inn at Edinburgh Leith Waterfront offers a pleasant stay with clean rooms and friendly staff who go the extra mile. The location is great for accessing Edinburgh city center and nearby attractions, but the dining experience could use some improvement. The breakfast options weren't up to par, and noise from the bins can be disruptive during morning hours. Overall, it was a good stay, but there are areas for enhancement.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were clean, but unfortunately, we didn't get a waterfront view as the hotel was fully booked. We had a view of the car park instead, which was a bit of a letdown.

Service

6.0

The service was decent, but there were moments where the reception staff seemed unhurried, and a warmer welcome would have enhanced the experience.

Location

8.0

The hotel is well positioned for exploring the city and nearby attractions like the Royal Yacht Britannia. While it’s a bit further from the city center, the quietness was a nice trade-off.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast at the adjacent Brewers Fayre was satisfactory, but wait times for table cleaning were frustrating. I recommend looking elsewhere for a better breakfast experience.

Facilities

The hotel offered good facilities, including free parking, which was a definite bonus, although some parts felt like they could use a touch-up.

The nearby public transport made exploring Edinburgh a breeze, but the dining experience left something to be desired. The combined restaurant lacked the hygiene I expected, which is a bit of a setback.
