PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court
Friendly staff. Room was ready early so they let us check in. Suite was nice and looked like the photos. Cons: You can hear everything. People above were very loud walking around for ages early morning and late in evening. Really weird smell in reception room and downstairs.

The room had a great view of Edinburgh Castle. Everything was in walking distance of the hotel. The room was nice and comfortable. Had an issue with a blind, and maintenance fixed it immediately. Breakfast was either continental or big breakfast. For its price and location, one couldn’t go wrong ...
