We arrived at out hotel at approx. 8.00 am & left in our bags. Having been up from 4.30a.m., we returned from shopping shortly before 2.00pm, looking forward to having a rest. We were told our room was not ready (as were several other people) & were offered a complimentary drink in the bar. At 2.40 I enquired again about... more

I thought this hotel was great, price etc considered. Stayed three nights in a twin room, two by myself and one night shared. The room is fairly sparse, but considering one is paying for Holiday Inn Express you get what you expect. I found the room to be a little more spacious than I would have originally thought, which is... more

I stayed here for 2 nights with my Dad and Uncle (in their 80s), my cousin and his wife. Situation is perfect - all the main sights of Edinburgh within walking distance.

Unexceptional hotel with a great location close to city centre and main rail station. Front desk service is uninspired and alarmingly little checks are made for ID when checking in - considering my partner had checked in earlier and I was able to turn up and get a key by just giving my name it was a little disturbing. Elevatores... more

Very close to the center. Small rooms, poor breakfast, could be more clean. more

Just returned from a 1 night stay following a mini trip to Scotland to visit relatives. We arrived just before official check in to a wonderfully warm welcome and extremely efficient check in. We'd requested and were given a quiet room on the 4th floor (411). The room was everything you'd expect from Express Holiday Inn. Clean, tidy and functional.... more
