The Holiday Inn was a terrific base for us to explore & enjoy Edinburgh. I'ts not too long of a walk to the Royal Mile & all that's offered there including Edinburgh Castle. The included breakfast was more than adequate. The rooms are modern & up to date. And the staff were most accommodating.

My husband and I had arrived in a morning of September 5 to the HOLIDAY INN at Edinburgh. We booked standard room two months before and were ready to wait till 3-4 pm to be able to check in. Around 3pm Front desk person with a name MARTIN offer us a room. Martin said that our room is not ready yet but he can offer us another one. We appreciated it and got a keys. It was a room number 201. When we open the door all we can see was the room for the special needs or disability person. The room and bathroom were equipped with pull strings and some other stuff what can help a disability person to stay safe and comfortable. We were not touch anything just left our luggage and left a room. We were back to Front desk and ask Martin to give us another room. Martin refuses to help us. We were agreeing to wait for our room as long as it takes but Martin explained us that this room now IS OUR ROOM and he has nothing else. We booked standard room. Not whatever hotel offered to us. We were asking Martin for 30 min before we understood that it is a useless conversation. We did not like this room because it was very depressing to stay there. Our 3 days in the Edinburg were obviously spoiled. We are traveling a lot. It was the worst experience we ever have got. When we travel we always feel that our satisfaction is the first priority for the Hotels we visited. But not this time. We want back a full refund for this booking

Had a premium twin room on 4th floor. Was excellent in all ways . The window could be opened for fresh air, or closed for quietness. The parking is 10m from the hotel,in the multi-level garage immediately next door. Obtain a ticket from the machine when parking,then present it to hotel reception to pay (discounted) when retrieving the vehicle later. Would stay here again, no question.

The location of this hotel is fabulous. You are right by all the major attractions without being right in the crowded areas. You walk up a block and you are in the middle of everything. Staff and services were great. They let us leave our luggage there until our room came available. Breakfast was great (a full breakfast included in the price for the room). The only difficulty we had was that they gave us a handicap room. With 3 people bathing in the “open shower” it made a very wet mess of the bathroom. That was inconvenient!

There is no onsite parking or laundry available. The onsite restaurant and bar is just a walk-up counter where you check in. The offsite parking that's available is a 5 minute walk down the road, but the walk back to the hotel takes you passed individuals that are clearly on drugs and make you feel very unsafe. It's just not in a great part of town. For the price, look elsewhere. I wish I had seen more honest reviews before I booked.

The staff were very nice and accommodating. The breakfast was also very good and there was a good variety of foods to choose from. Unfortunately, the rooms were small and we felt a bit unsafe when walking around the area near the hotel. The bathroom we had needed tiles fixed and the vanity was also cracked. I was really expecting a better place for the price we paid. We’ve often enjoyed staying at the HI Express. This was a bit of a letdown, especially being our first time in Scotland.

This property is close to the Royal Mile and the university, making it very convenient to shopping, dining and visiting my daughter in her dorm at the university. The front desk staff is very helpful and pleasant, even when the lobby is full of people. I've stayed here twice in the last year and have had very good experiences each time. Oh, and the breakfast is great!
