Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh Haymarket

Scene

Basic modern hotel with colorful bar and restaurant    

The Premier Inn has an energetic vibe, given its location near the International Conference Centre and Haymarket Station. It draws a mix of business and leisure travelers, who congregate in the lobby and in the colorful restaurant, which has striking aquamarine walls and lampshades, and violet-colored soft chairs. The bar has a big-screen TV with live sports. Rooms have basic wood furniture with violet accents, along with free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. The staff is friendly and helpful, and eager to offer dining and sightseeing recommendations.
