The location can't be beat for first-time travellers to Edinburgh. The bus from the airport stops just a few steps away from the hotel, and you board the return bus from the same bus stop. The hotel itself is typical of Premier Inns: cookie cutter rooms and en suite bathrooms that is their trademark. But it also means you are assured of a good night's sleep on a very comfortable bed and sound proofing that shields you from street noise. One area that requires attention is the reception desk. We often encountered queues, and while the staff are friendly and helpful, it's obvious they needed more support to deal with the constant flow of people. We loved staying at the Premier Inn Waverly, and wouldn't hesitate to return.
