Our international flight arrived @ 6:30am. When we arrived @ the hotel all that could be offered was a place to store our luggage and continental breakfast. We couldn't check in until 2:00pm. So, we had been up & flying for 18hrs-desparately needed a shower. But, we ate a little & headed out to site see for 5 hrs. When... more

stayed here for 2 nights over the rugby weekend and found the hotel location to be good and the rooms to be very basic but very clean. the one main problem was that rooms seemed to have interconnecting doors and the room next door to me seemed to have the loudest children in the world. overall the hotel done the... more

We stayed at the Hotel in from the 7th of January to 13th January 2009 as part of my mom and mine’s UK adventure. This part of the trip was especially important as we arrived in Scotland on my mom's birthday. We arrived a bit late and were promptly checked in. The service throughout the stay was friendly and efficient.... more

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night on 14 March. The location was excellent for us. The rugby was on so the place was busy. We had got a deal on the internet although the hotel was quoting £299 per room. What we got for what we paid was very good. The check in was quick and friendly... more

This is an ideal hotel if planning on travelling around Edinburgh on foot or public transport. Due it's location being central to several bars, clubs, reasturants and Cinema, it is understandable and was antisipated that the ambiant noise throughout the night from the surrounding area was noticeable, but not disturbing. The hotel it's self we found relitively quiet for a... more

Booked hotel via one of the last minute hotel room web sites, so got a great deal. Only a one night stay to take my daughter on a visit to Edinburgh University. Great location, rooms had recently been decorated, very clean, spacious shower room, friendly staff. Only a continental breakfast, but otherwise for a 1-2 night stay, great value (if... more

Good Location for the Playhouse which is right across the road. Only a few parking spaces which we were lucky enough to get one. The room itself was clean althought the bed is a bit hard for me. Great place to stay if you are looking for a night out on the town but not so great if you are... more

Stayed here for 1 Sunday night in Feb. Found the hotel to be clean, staff very polite & friendly. The room was spacious/clean. Great location in the city, close to the railway & bus stations. Across the street from the Playhouse Theatre. All in all a great location to base yourself for staying in Edinburgh. Would definitely stay at the... more

Dear Tripadvisor member, Thank you for the great review and for pointing out that Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre is close to both St Andrews Sqaure Bus Station and Edinburgh Waverley Railway Station. The hotel does not look like a purpose built Holiday Inn Express as we are located in a listed Georgian building with limited signage. The...

Stayed NY...Dec 30 & 31. Expensive...£155 a night with cont breakfast....but it seems during Fringe Festival in August they charge a £100 more than that! Room is functional and comfortable...walls are thin between rooms...we had a crying baby next door. Drink and snack machines on floor ( we were on 6th), saves you having to go to a shop. I... more

Thank you for the feedback regarding your stay at Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre. Please accept my apologies if your group was kept awake with city centre noise as it is not the intention of the hotel to cause distress or discomfort to any of our guests. From the review I am unable to check if smoking bedrooms...
