"Location perfect for a first time visit to Edinburgh as so close to many historical sites and lots of restaurants and shops. We stayed at beginning and end of our trip.our 4th floor room more spacious than the room we had on the 3rd floor.Both were clean. We did not eat but did enjoy a drink at the bar one evening with a friendly crowd."

Hub By Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were all very friendly, and helpful. I enjoyed my room, it was clean and well maintained. The air conditioning and blackout curtains were wonderful to have. Additionally, controls for the lights and temperature at the head of the bed next to a wee nook to charge phones was very convenient. The lounge on the ground floor was also excellent, serving beer, wine, and other drinks as well as having a small food menu. Everything was enjoyable. Also, I was able to walk to/from most of the tourist attractions as well as many restaurants and pubs near by. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting Edinburgh!"
