- The wider guest experience is strong — Agoda guests rate this 8.9/10 overall
Worth knowing
- Paw rating is based on 2 reviews — limited sample, treat as directional
- Pet fee and any size restrictions aren't published — confirm directly with the property before booking
How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 2 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from Agoda — guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover — we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 2,689 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 8.9/10 — the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: May 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.
Pet policy at a glance
- Agoda's listing for this property doesn't currently flag a published pet fee, service-animal policy or pet amenities. That doesn't mean none apply — confirm directly with PREMIER SUITES before booking, especially regarding deposit, cleaning fee and any pet-size or breed restrictions.
Pet-friendly summary
PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court earns a paw rating of 3/5, drawn from two confirmed guest reviews mentioning travel with dogs. The signal is genuinely mixed — and worth understanding before booking.
On the positive side, one couple who completed their stay reported a comfortable dog-friendly experience: a self-contained suite with a "very comfy bed," good central position, and no issues with their dog during the stay. The aparthotel format — full self-catering kitchen, separate living space — is genuinely better suited to dogs than a conventional hotel room, and the property's wider Agoda rating of 9.1/10 from 149 stays confirms most guests have a strong experience overall.
The cautionary signal comes from a separate booking that didn't proceed. The traveller arrived with an assistance dog and was asked at check-in for a £250 security deposit that wasn't flagged in advance via the booking confirmation, on top of cleaning and parking fees. They felt the front-desk handling of the situation was dismissive and chose to leave without staying. The hotel's listed pet policy on Agoda doesn't currently flag service animals as explicitly welcomed, which aligns with the experience reported.
Two practical takeaways for travellers with a pet or assistance dog: (1) email PREMIER SUITES directly before arrival to confirm the exact deposit amount, cleaning fee and any other pet-specific charges in writing, so there are no surprises at check-in; (2) for guide dogs and other assistance animals, ask the hotel to confirm in writing that the standard pet deposit doesn't apply, citing the Equality Act 2010 if helpful. Both are easy steps that should resolve the only sticking point we've seen.
The suites themselves get strong reviews across the wider review base for cleanliness, space and Fountain Court location — a short walk from Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street and Lothian Road. With clear up-front communication on deposit and fees, PREMIER SUITES Edinburgh Fountain Court can work well for dog owners wanting an apartment-style stay rather than a hotel room. Without that pre-booking conversation, the cost surprises seen in one guest's report are a real risk.
