Unexceptional hotel with a great location close to city centre and main rail station. Front desk service is uninspired and alarmingly little checks are made for ID when checking in - considering my partner had checked in earlier and I was able to turn up and get a key by just giving my name it was a little disturbing.

Very close to the center. Small rooms, poor breakfast, could be more clean. more

Just returned from a 1 night stay following a mini trip to Scotland to visit relatives. We arrived just before official check in to a wonderfully warm welcome and extremely efficient check in. We'd requested and were given a quiet room on the 4th floor (411). The room was everything you'd expect from Express Holiday Inn. Clean, tidy and functional.... more

We did not have much choice as we were staying during the 2007-2008 New Year, so we had to get whatever room we could get, and we found this. Location is really in city centre, walking distance to everything, 15 minutes walk to the old town, 10 minutes to major shopping strips, cinema is just across the road. Our room... more

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review as it is always good that guests can recall exact feedback more than 5 months after their stay. We value feedback from all of our guests and regularly review travel review sites for comments and accuracy of comments posted. I was glad to hear that the bad location comment made...

The hotel was clean and the room was clean. The staff was also attentive and helpful. I also liked the fact that it was across the street from the Ocean Terminal. I would stay at this hotel again if I should ever come back to Edinburgh. more

For starters you know what your going to get with a holiday Inn Express and this hotel delivered just that. Simple accomadation, clean with everything you need for an overnight stay. Breakfast is a simple affair but sets you up for the day. (no cooked) The hotel location is probably its strong point. Minutes walk from Princess Street. This means... more

Really good location for seeing the sights of Edinburgh. About 10 mins walk to Waverley Bridge and Princes Street to pick up the sightseeing buses and opposite the Edinburgh Playhouse and Omni centre. The hotel rooms are small, basic but clean and comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the room so the size was not an issue. Breakfast room... more

An extremely clean, comfortable hotel within very easy reach of the city. The breakfast was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. All in all, well worth the money! The only criticism I do have is the parking, it's inder a shopping mall over the road and was a lot more expensive than we expected - about £20 for... more

We stayed in this hotel during a 4 day stay in Edinburgh. The hotel was clean, well stocked, and in close proximity to the city center. Our standard room was fairly spacious and the bathroom was huge by European standards. The staff was courteous and attentive. The front desk staff always helped with directions with a smile. Breakfast was good... more

The Holiday Inn Express Picardy Place Edinburgh. Its right opposite the Omni Centre, St James Shopping Centre and the Playhouse Theatre, 5 min walk to Princes Street and 10 mins to the Royal Mile so the best location for a city centre break! Hotel is smart and spotlessly clean, rooms spacious, friendly helpful reception staff, car park with limited spaces... more
