I stayed for two nights over the weekend. The plus side: quiet, clean rooms; friendly efficient staff; good location; provision of non-dairy spread and soya milk at breakfast which is excellent service, and quite unusual. On the downside, my air-conditioning unit didn't work and although I complained it wasn't fixed. Although we wanted a double, we ended up with two... More

This is one of the best Holiday Inn Express's I have stayed in. We stayed one night in May 2012, the night before the Edinburgh Marathon festival. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and they even opened breakfast early to allow the runners to get an early breakfast before racing. The hotel is in a nice area, with... More

I stayed here for two nights when I needed to visit Royal Yacht Britannia and attend a trade show. The hotel is quiet and modern with spacious rooms. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful and the breakfast was perfectly adequate. The local bus service is fantastic - the buses stop right in front of the hotel and serve... More

This hotel is everything you would expect from a budget hotel. It is cheap and cheerful with no added luxuries. The hotel is in a great location for everything in Leith. The room was clean and the bed was very comfy. No frills but by no means slumming it either. Slept well with no noise issues. Breakfast was OK, we... More

I thought this hotel was a decent option for a couple of days in Edinburgh. The breakfast was good enough and the location, although outside the city center, was a 15 min or so bus ride and the drop off is right in front of the hotel. We took an excursion to the Highlands and the tour bus came to... More

Great location = Great savings...Free breakfast, free parking and nearby to a mall & the bus stop; we also were able to use travelling points for further savings on our room. Great room & the bed was more comfortable than my own, we had a great sleep. They charge for internet if you want it in your room, but you... More

Stayed overnight on 8th May mainly by the recommendations of others as we wished to visit the nearby Britainnia and shopping mall. The staff were very nice and helpful and the room was spotless and comfortable. We found the included breakfast very nice and well presented. The scrambled egg,sausages and beans and toast were great prior to returning home. Would... More

We recently had a two night stay here and we found the hotel and staff to be absolutely first class. Our clean, spacious room in the quieter part of the hotel was ready for us even though we arrived early and the staff, particularly Gasia, were friendly, very pleasant and extremely helpful. Breakfast was good with a wide choice and... More
