Thyme in Edinburgh, City of

Right next to the train station so great access to Edinburgh

One star as No wifi , seems to be becoming common theme of poor to no wifi at premier inns.

Perfect for the airport. Lovely staff, great rooms and the restaurant was excellent. Michelle did of great job of retrieving our son's switch which was left in the room. Thank you!

Fab place. Even better to say our room was upgraded to Premier plus.staf very helpful and readily available

Worst premier inn I have ever stayed in

Does seem a little stuck out in the middle of nowhere, but I quite liked that, as it was nice and quiet without traffic noise. There was a notice in reception when booking in that there was currently no WiFi, due to ongoing problems. That was quite annoying, as my husband was there for work, so it meant him having to use his mobile data for work calls etc. Surely for anyone booked in, an email should have been sent out, informing them that the WiFi was down.

Had a lovely time, as always staying at premier inn Hotels. I would like to thank personally Michelle Pawel..for sorting out a maintenance problem...which turned out to be our fault completely. She was very understanding and polite and solved the problem immediately ..we hope she gets recognised for her terrific customer service ...thanks again. Noel and Saffron Wilson

Visited In August 2023. It was a Clean hotel, friendly reception staff, and a nice quiet area. Next to the tram Station, easy access to the motorway. And a bonus is having a costa on site of the Premier Inn definitely visit again to visit Edinburgh. Visited Again in March 2024, This hotel kept the high standards with very clean rooms and an amazing breakfast both days, this hotel had the frendliest staff in any hotel I visited too. This is the best premier inn I have ever visited!

The hotel is very well located - literally just over the road from the train station and tram stops with a retail park beyond that where you can pick up groceries etc. The rooms were maintained and cleaned to a good standard. The breakfast however wasn’t great - £11.99 and most of it is cold (even though it’s supposed to be hot) - staff were also rather aloof and disinterested - not strictly rude but at the same time not overly welcoming. I’d stay there again though but probably go into the city to get a better breakfast!

If you decide not to eat in in the evening there is not much choice nearby. Location somewhat remote but good links to city centre, etc.

Great place to stay if you don't want to stay directly in the centre. Easy to access by car, train station right outside with regular trains into the city centre. The tram is also located right outside too. Free parking for hotel residents. Close the airport. Our go to when staying in Edinburgh when driving.

This hotel is a great location for the airport or Edinburgh centre, has station just across the road for tram,train and buses which are passing often. The hotel is nice and quiet, with no traffic noise while we stayed. The restaurant/bar / breakfast area was nice,bright, and clean. Good food and drink. Staff were spot on for any enquiries or problems. Rooms were spacious and clean with aircon. We will definitely use this hotel again when visiting edingburgh.

Good place to stay handy to get to and park then head into Edinburgh

Quiet. Very comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Family friendly.

Good hotel connected to the airport and the city center. 100% recommendable

Not as good as Hereford Old Market Premier Inn.

Rooms are shabby but clean, strong drain smell in the room, but reception dealt with this quickly. Very noisy, I think the people above our rooms were practising for the marathon. Vending machines chaotic, some prices non existent or fallen off, chocolate or crisps, I can't eat either. soft drink machines not working. No biscuits in the room, needed something to take tablets with. Booked 3 rooms together, each room in seperate floor

Ideal for Edinburgh, good links to airport and centre of town, now with premier plus rooms

Great hotel, great location. Our stay was spoilt slightly from when we arrived and noticed the sign saying the WiFi was down. I had booked a premium plus room to include the extra WiFi benefit. The man on duty at checkin was very quick to tell me that the WiFi was included for free so really I had nothing to complain about as I wasn’t paying for it. I could very easily have got more than annoyed by this idiotic and rather stupid remark but I just jet it go. He did then say that it had been ongoing for several months. I did suggest that maybe they could alert guests to this when booking but he said that was the responsibility of the owners. He never once apologised for the lack of a reliable internet connection. The next day at check out the woman at the front desk asked how was the stay and apologised for the internet and encouraged me to mention it to a wider audience in the hope that something would get done. She had a much better manner. The room was great, cosy, warm and very quiet. The nespresso coffee is very poor quality and in the bathroom there are 3 dispensers, all with body wash, so no handwash, no shampoo, no conditioner and no lotion. A bit odd. The tv is basic terrestrial so no smart tv functions and no casting option. There is a desk level hdmi input which allows for a fire stick or similar to hook up to the tv but without a reliable internet connection… We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment. We’ll probably stay again as it’s perfect for getting into Edinburgh by tram but will check on the internet beforehand.

Great place to stay. Easy tram to airport

Our regular hotel when we're in Edinburgh because it is so convenient to get into the city. The tram stops at Edinburgh Park. Close to amenities eg the Gyle Shopping centre. The restaurant does an excellent meal deal and the food is very good. We usually go for Premier Plus room which is very comfortable & you get a Nespresso coffee maker which gives you an excellent cup of coffee.

Everything from booking a room online to checking in and booking an evening meal was so easy and stress free. When checking in, the staff were very welcoming.

Absolutely loved our stay! Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food in the resteraunt is delicious too! Hotel room was so clean and tidy- we couldn't believe how high quality it was for such a low price,will defo be back 🥰

It's a Premier Inn and so you get the usual attributes as expected. We stayed when going to Knockhill and it was good to be on the outskirts of the city to travel easier. The area is a bit out of the way and you would probably have to travel to get to nightlife bars and restaurants. Philly's was a nearby restaurant but it appears to have closed.

Location brilliant for train and tram. Service a little slow at times and I always struggle connecting to the internet

Fantastic.. though food a little sparce on plate

Location is brilliant for the airport / railway and tram for the city center Breakfast is ok

Good size room and comfortable bed plenty of plug sockets. Tea and coffee

Good night hope you have a great day today

Good location for parking/stay and taking the tram or train to your destination

Food rubbish go into Edinburgh or kfc just down the road . Rooms ok not brilliant but ok . Would not stay there again.

One of the better PI's... staff always helpful. One point... Don't forget to register your carparking... its on a self-serve screen next to check-in. And easily missed.... For some reason none of the check-in staff remind you to do it... strange eh? Would have got 5stars if someone had reminded me... This seems to be a common theme for PI when carparking must be registered... the more synical part of me may think its done on purpose....🤔

Great for winter stays but for spring not good you can't open the window and the A/C is useless

Brilliant have already booked my next stay, free parking and great location for train or tram into town centre. Rooms were clean and quiet.

We found the breakfast buffet to be as good, full-English-wise, as an Intercontinental; maybe even better than the Berlin Intercontinental since the breakfast was not stone-cold! The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and we found the food very good. The fish and chips and the upgraded mixed grill were very good indeed. The staff were polite and helpful throughout. Recommended

Staff fabulous and very helpful. Everywhere clean. Bed uncomfortable and had just one thin flat pillow. Not a comfortable night.

Regularly use this Premier Inn when in Edinburgh, Easy access to regular trams in and out of town and to the airport. Good value accommodation.

Excellent location, easy access to the city of Edinburgh and a great base for travelling out of the city. Friendly staff, good food and clean well serviced rooms.

Fire alarm going off at 1am spoilt stay. Room was good. Breakfast cool - items on buffet under temperature.

Thus Premier Inn is really good for transport links to Glasgow and the city centre of Edinburgh as you can get the Tram to the Airport and city centre, Train to Glasgow and Edinburgh and there is also bus links

Staff are so so amazing, gave us extra milk at 2.30am as our flight got in at 1.30am and we all needed a cuppa, my son left his Teddy in the room and when I phoned the lady on the line said she would post it out to us at no charge, great night sleep had by all and first class customer service as always with premier inn, thank you for everything once again, highly recommend staying here xxx

Standard premier Inn. Very clean

Shame about fire alarm at 1am, hotel was full of youngsters for terminal v festival .

Great hotel but food and drinks rather expensive

Great customer service , no noise and had really good rail/ bus connections with a tram stop that was direct from the airport

Good location next to all transport links. Good service. New rooms clean and to normal premier inn levels.

If you need a good clean comfortable and reasonably priced room and are not bothered about a city centre location, this is the ideal spot. Easily accessed from the Edinburgh by pass (A720), 10 minutes by train from Waverley Station (25 minutes by tram from Princes Street) and 10 minutes from the airport. The hotel has an on site restaurant for an evening meal and serves an excellent buffet breakfast. The rooms are clean and spacious and the staff couldn't be more friendly or helpful.

Been several times before do always well served there. Indoor restaurant. Tram and train lines 100 yards nearby. Large car park. Very quiet area.

Good room Good price and esay to travil in to town center

Für Übernachtung vor Rückflug okay, Anbindung durch S-Bahn in der Nähe gut.

Lovely clean and quiet hotel, with very helpful staff and nice food. Very good connection to town centre and airport. Tram and train station next to it.

Great spot, cheap, fast transport to centre outside your door.

Good new rooms. Great breakfast. Location excellent.

Ideal location for getting in to Edinburgh city! Very quiet in the evenings so you don't get disturbed by noisy traffic. Train/tram stop 50 ft away. Very welcoming staff, clean and affordable rates.

Clean, quiet and reasonably priced.

Room clean but a bit shabby especially bathroom. Noise from room above really bad until 2am. I could hear every footstep amplified.

Great location and free parking. Handy access for train,tram or bus to city.

Rooms are very comfortable and fully recommend breakfast

The best Premier inn we've stayed at

Nice clean rooms with comfortable bed. Good food and drink enjoyed the breakfast and evening meals. Good public transport connections with train and tram services in walking distance. Excellent distance for the airport or to travel back into the main city areas however, not overly close to the airport to be affected by aeroplane noise.

I had the best sleep ever and the rooms are nice. I would not recommend having your meals, apart from breakfast, at the rstaurant. The food was awful and the service just as bad. Breakfast was a self service buffet and the spread was impressive and delicious

Easy and convenient place to stay

Comfortable room. Free parking during your stay. Convenient tram to airport and very frequent trains to city. Disappointed with breakfast being cold, but they refunded the cost when I complained, so can't fault the commitment.

Very friendly welcoming atmosphere clean rooms with tea/coffee . comfortable stay close to Edinburgh tram stop so convenient for shopping or playhouse in Edinburgh

Great breakfast lovely clean room only issue was the heating was way to hot

Absolutely great Premier, we’ve stayed here numerous times. However, on our last visit we noticed the restaurant is now a Thyme one and unfortunately the menu doesn’t have the same choice as before. So very disappointed definitely not the same excellent experience, thus rating down to 4 star!

Great hotel, although booked last minute it had everything needed with the lounge area open with complimentary hot drinks. We parked and used the tram into and around Edinburgh.

Nice hotel, perfect for trams or trains into the city centre.

Good food and close to the airport

Stay here one usual premium inn hotel, staff were excellent service thanx

Good clean premier inn with premier inn plus rooms

Staying here tonight awake with noise from above. 🤔so not a good nights sleep. ☹️

Lovely spot, quiet, easy to reach transport links to city centre. Always a warm welcome here

Conveniently placed for the airport and a tram ride away from city centre

Lovely hotel and room, not a bad thing to say about that but im upset with the fact they refused to sterilise my newborn baby bottles in microwave when I was desperate so I could only wash them in room with kettle water,absolutely shocked as she’s a baby, they should know better

With working around the country, the construction company we do subcontracting to always books premiers Inns for the lads who have travel to the jobs. I've never stopped in a better Premier Inn than this one. I've had at least one as good as this one but the location the Amenities & public transport are all really well served here. I don't think this will be my last time staying at this place. Staff were very friendly & helpful also.

It's a Premier Inn. Does what it says on the tin. However, this one is ideally located for the tram into Edinburgh city centre. Saves the hassle of driving and trying to find parking.

great place to stop prior to departure. Does what it says on the tin. Restaurant service was slow and waited more than 30 Minutes for drinks, took 20 minutes before order taken despite asking waiting staff multiple times. Got the tray of drinks myself from the bar in the end! Really let's the place down..... It wasn't busy!

Nice hotel with clean rooms and close to Rail/Tram stops

Lovely hospitality, definitely would stay again

I not happy with breakfast for pancakes with fruit but not fruit.

Excellent stay if heading to city for a day or 2. Tram is on the door step and every 7 mins .

Good check in, Good food, lots of space, all you need from a premier inn 😉

Great hotel, beds are amazing ! Breakfast really good & staff are very helpful, but other people staying there with children were terrible, running up & down all night ! Couldn't get to sleep ! Our fault, we should have rung down to reception & complained, but we love this hotel, & getting the tram into Edinburgh every day was easy

Visit this Premier Dec 20th staff were friendly and helpful give us good advice for trains to Edinburgh room excellent, location excellent ,didn't have breakfast but felt it was a bit pricey for us pensioners!!!.

Free parking, excellent rail links into Edinburgh less than £10 return, with trains leaving every 10 mins, absolutely ideal for family city break

Stayed here multiple times with no issues, staff have always been friendly and rooms as you’d expect. Free parking and only a short tram ride into Edinburgh.

The only reason the hotel is getting a three star and not a five is because we had a bath that leaked so while I was in the bath my husband had to mop up the floor with towels and wring them out constantly , I was in the bath for ten mins it was a shambles, I had bought bath bombs from lush just to soak in the bath for a while as we have a shower at home so I was looking forward to a long soak in a bath , when we told them they apologized , but my night was ruined .

Brilliant hotel, visited here for the Christmas markets can't wait to come back. Easy access to Edinburgh via Scot rail from edinburgh park

I booked Newbridge and to be told I had to go to Edinburgh Park instead. I was paying cash but took from my card !!! !!!!!!

We booked a Premier Plus room, very nicely decorated and had a few extras including nespresso machine.

Best location , near to the airport, right next to the trams which was extremely handy! Rooms are nice and spacious, bed is comfy and showers are nice and clean. Staff were polite also and there is a Costa coffee inside so you can eat food there also. Lifts work nicely and quickly. We were allowed to leave our suitcase there in the last day and pick it up later!

Been here and stayed was peaceful and capm experience will do it all over again

Always a good experience at Premier Inn. Staff are always helpful and friendly. The restaurant has improved greatly and the quality of the meals is much better. Look forward to returning.

Slow checkin but otherwise good. The bar stunk of roast meat though, the smoke hit your eyes as soon as you walked in and my clothes stank of it.

Rooms were just fine! I had some friends come visit one evening and seated at the lobby, one woman walks up to us asking why we were seated there and if we had any reservations. Just thought that was uncalled for. We wouldn't randomly walk into a hotel's lobby to chit chat.

Premier very clean hotel with great service. Good selection for breakfast for the whole family. Loses a star for the mattress not being very comfortable.

Clean, comfy room. Best beds in any hotel. Good location, only 25 mins into Edinburgh centre.

Great value hotel with amazing transport links into Edinburgh City centre. Staff were friendly and really helpful. Works always use even visiting the city.

Always good service and perfectly placed to hop on the tram or train. The tram is a in ride into Edinburgh or to the airport.
