We stayed here in January and found that it is a lovely standard hotel, with excellent staff and everything you need to spend a few days in the city. We arrived on a very early flight well in advance of check-in time, but the staff were so helpful and stored our luggage safely for us so that we could go... more

We spent a weekend at the Holiday Inn Express and enjoyed it very much. The location is excellent, 5 minutes from Waverly Station, with light baggage you can easily walk it. Plenty of bars and restaurants around. Ask the front desk about restaurant recommendations, we followed their advice and had outstanding dinners, close from the hotel. We had a room... more

All in all a decent hotel, well located within half a mile of where you would want to be in Edinburgh. The only gripe I have is with the internet access costs - if you (like I was) are intending to travel on business where the use of your laptop and internet access is important, my advice would be to... more

My sister and I stayed here for 2 nights because it was the cheapest hotel we could find on a weekend where there was a huge rugby tournement and a race happening in Edinburgh. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The location (for being on this side of the river) was very convenient, a 5 minute walk to the main train... more

Its a good property right on the city center.. I loved staying there as the rooms were well appointed, staffs were courteous & very helpful. There are many eateries around the corner itself giving the guest the choice... Night life & party houses are also very near by... Can be concluded as one of the best in their express category..... more

I stayed here for one night before going on a tour of the Highlands. On the map, it looked like it was just located off Princes Street, but Edinburgh has a lot of steep slopes, so that has to be borne in mind, especially if one is carrying bulky and heavy luggage. I paid 5 pounds for a cab from... more

Loved the hotel. Perfect location - within walking distance of everything - Royal Mile, Prince St, train station, Arthur's Seat, Castle, etc. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was large, great bathroom and shower, and liked the separate toilet. Was clean and quiet. Large buffet, served long hours, but the restaurant afea was small and at times there was a... more

Nice hotel and nice staff, budget stay for me and would stay here again but the location is a bit iffy. more

Stayed here for a friends b.day and the location could not have been better, check in was really good and the manager on duty was really friendly, I believe her name was Kerr. Throughout our stay she could not have been more helpful and assisted us with ideas etc. Really personalised our stay and would encourage us to return. Breakfast... more
