Amenities
Travelers familiar with the brand will recognize even every square inch of the hotel, from the purple color scheme to the Thyme restaurant. The Bonham is a stylish upscale property located within walking distance. A tiny door with a purple banner is the only thing marking the entrance. Take the lift to the 2nd floor.
Transportation
Drive into Edinburgh on the A702, continuing onto the A700 and Castle Terrace. The Premier Inn Edinburgh City Centre hotel is an eight-minute walk to Edinburgh's Christmas at East Princes Street Gardens. Chargeable off-site parking is available at £15 per day.
“Premier Inn Edinburgh Princes Street benefits considerably from its enviable location, providing castle views and immediate access to the city's attractions. I noted that the family-friendly environment extends to on-site dining, where kids eat breakfast free. The hotel emphasizes cleanliness, and the staff seems consistently helpful-both clear advantages in a busy city.”
