Stayed at the Holiday Inn at the beginning of June when I had to go to Edinburgh for a meeting. Managed to get the hotel for a B&B rate of £75 for the room, which was pretty good value for Edinburgh. Wouldn't have paid the displayed rack rate of £225 though. Our room on the 2nd floor was fine with... more

This is an update to a previous review I submitted about this hotel a while ago. It is a couple of years since I stayed here and in that time the bathrooms have been modernised (they are still small but I only wash etc in mine and try not to have guests there with me!) and the restaurant has also... more

Check in fast, plenty of parking, room of generous size. So far so good...... but then I went to the restaurant!!! Told that menu was limited as it was "School Holidays". Ordered a steak (medium-well) and it arrived dry and tough as old boots. On getting the bill nearly hit the roof - the steak on menu was £16.95 but... more

First, the location. Situated between Edinburgh Airport and the City Centre, on a regular bus route, there is no problem with getting around by public transport. It is far enough away from the City Centre to avoid the seemingly higher room rates, but close enough to be a few minutes away by bus. And with the zoo located next-door (it... more

Reading some of the reviews here before we went as a family I was a little concerned. But to be honest I think this hotel has maybe sufferred from the old lady from Fawlty Towers who couldn't drown a mouse in her bath. Seasoned travellers will know who I mean. If you're a business traveller or someone who has paid... more

This hotel is just about ok, but I am only saying that as I stayed there on business so did not have to pay. I would not choose this hotel for a personal trip as it is not worth the money. The room was ok with a very big bed, but the bathroom was very very small and had a... more

Rooms are very small with hardly any space between the end of the bed and the desk. So-called family rooms are just standard rooms with a sofa bed so the small amount of space is reduced even further. No where to sit apart from the sofa bed so there is a fair degree of room rearranging come bedtime Service is... more

We stayed for 1 night which was probably long enough. The room was clean and bed fine. The room was very dated and small. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The bar and restaurant has obviously been refurbuished as they were modern. Went for a swim which was fine, pretty small pool. If you can get a cheap rate... more

Not bad Not good would sum up our stay here. The hotel looks awful from the outside (very 60's in design) but it is ok inside. The hotel has a large car park which was free (very good for a city hotel). The actual city itself is about 3 miles away and easy by bus. Slap bang next door is... more
