Edinburgh hotels are notorious for price spikes. During festivals, you might pay a king’s ransom. But outside peak times? This Premier Inn is a steal. I paid about £120 a night, which felt like a bargain for a central location with a killer bed. Compare that to nearby “boutique” hotels charging £250 for a room with a view of a wall. No contest.

Plus, you save money on Uber. You can walk to the Castle in five minutes. To Greyfriars Bobby? Eight minutes. To the Scotch Whisky Experience? You’ll smell it before you see it. Trust me.
The final verdict: Should you book it?
Look, if you want a five-star spa with a rooftop pool, this isn’t your spot. But if you want a clean, comfy, no-fuss base for exploring Edinburgh? Absolutely. You’ll be steps away from history, pubs, and those cute Scottish souvenir shops selling tartan everything.
I’d stay there again in a heartbeat. In fact, I’m already planning my next trip. Maybe I’ll book the same room. And eat four croissants this time. Who’s stopping me?
So go ahead—book it. You’ll thank me when you’re sipping a pint at a Royal Mile pub, knowing your cozy bed is just around the corner. Cheers to that.
