Look, if you’re planning a honeymoon or a full-on luxury spa weekend, you might want to look elsewhere. The Hub is practical, efficient, and just stylish enough to make you feel grown-up without the five-star price tag. It’s for the city-breaker who wants a clean, comfy base with zero fuss. The kind of person who sees a hotel as a place to crash, recharge, then sprint back out to see more of Edinburgh’s cobbled magic.

I saw a family with two kids checking in while I was there. The parent looked tired but relieved—and honestly, that’s the target audience: people who need a break from their day, not a break from their savings account.
A final, slightly ironic confession
Here’s the thing: I usually mock chain hotels for being soul-less boxes. But the Hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Haymarket broke that stereotype for me. It’s not trying to be a boutique art gallery; it’s trying to be exactly what it says—a hub. A sensible, warm, slightly addictive little base that makes you wonder why other hotels overthink everything. No mini-bar overcharge trauma. No confusing turn-down service. Just a really good night’s sleep and a shower that could revive a zombie.
So if you ever find yourself at Haymarket station, phone battery dying, rain in your hair? Do yourself a favour. Walk into the Hub. Ask for a room on a higher floor. Then thank me later—preferably while munching a croissant.
