Edinburgh city centre stay.
Holiday inn express is quite a constantly good hotel chain.Room was not quite as comfy as usual due to lack of sofa,have stayed in several different holiday inn express always booking a double room Glasgow,aberdeen, edinburgh airport all with sofas.Breakfast on day one was good but on day two not so good some food was cold and the rolls were a bit stale. Overall still good value for money and very comfy beds.

Excellent 👌
We had an awesome time at Holiday Inn, Edinburgh. The hotel is conveniently located at heart of the city making all the tourist attractions easily accessible. The breakfast spread was great and kids loved it. The front desk staff were very cordial and even helped us with some food options pretty late in night (kids were jet lagged 😀). Overall our experience was great and we would love to come back again sometime in future. Highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Edinburgh.

4/10 Fair

Room with no view
The hotel is well placed but that’s about it. The hotel room was depressing with a window looking out to a underground car park(the only view was car hub caps) The rate included breakfast which could only be described as a “bun fight “ I the heating was not on and the room was ice cold, the shower was either too hot or cold on both days.

Overnight
Stay was fine. Only downside was when we opened the curtains the view was of a carpark. Wasn’t a big deal because it was overnight stay but wouldn’t want to be in that room in the summer.

Budget hotel, free breakfast and excellent locatio
This holiday is just a 12 minute walk from the Waverley station and it’s right in the city centre. Access to most of the shopping areas and the Christmas market was short and easy, within 15 mins walking distance. The hotel itself was very crowded and a bit cramped. Breakfast area was crowded but well stocked although the food was just alright. Hotel was clean. One house keeping staff knocked on our door twice and I am not sure what she wanted. It was way before our check out time. This was a bit annoying but otherwise the stay was good.
