Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG
"Very close to Ocean Terminal station, where you can catch a tram or a bus. The free breakfast every morning is very good and helped us save some money! Highly recommend staying in Leith and going into the downtown core from there, much easier to navigate and much cheaper!"
