Leith Waterfront Budget Hotel

Budget hotel in Edinburgh's Leith, with double rooms from £85 a night.

Overview

This Premier Inn sits right on the Edinburgh waterfront beside the Leith Newhaven Ferry Landing, a position that puts the Royal Botanic Garden 2.2 miles away and Edinburgh Castle 3.5 miles from the door. Rooms run from singles to family rooms that can take two pull-out beds, and every one has an en suite bathroom with a shower, free WiFi, a TV with digital channels, a desk and tea and coffee making facilities. Kids aged 15 and under eat and stay free when sharing with paying adults.

Downstairs there is a Brewers Fayre pub and restaurant called the Newhaven Quay, with a breakfast buffet available at an extra charge, offering both all-you-can-eat and lighter options. The front desk is staffed around the clock and can store bags, there is a lift to the upper floors, and the property is smoke-free throughout. Parking is listed with an extra charge, so it is worth confirming the current cost before arrival. Edinburgh Airport is 9.4 miles away.

Who It Suits

Families fit this hotel well, thanks to family rooms with pull-out beds and the policy that children aged 15 and under stay and eat free with paying adults. Motorists get on-site parking, though it carries a charge, and anyone who wants a restaurant and bar in the building plus a 24 hour front desk will find the setup convenient. It also suits travellers happy to stay in Leith rather than the city centre, with a spot on the water as the trade-off. Visitors without a car who plan to walk everywhere may find the distance from Waverley Station, around an hour on foot, less appealing.
