My husband and I stayed at this Hotel for 4 nights to attend the World Clan Gathering. I agree with earlier reviews that the location was excellent, however overall we were disappointed with our experience, particularly the size of our room. There are no porters at this hotel and quite a few steps up to the front door, so if... more

Just got back from Edinburgh after staying for one night. When we arrived we were early for check-in but the offer of a bag drop was very handy. Very pleasant staff to welcome us and give us advice on the hotel facilities. Returning from a very rainy city centre, we were able to check in without a hitch. When we... more

Although this hotel is not the Express on the Royal Mile... it's within walking distance of the Royal Mile, great shops (there's a mall just a block away) great food, and some great tours. We walked to Holyrod Palace, Edinburgh Castle, and quite a few other places while we were there. We just stayed for one night, but the staff... more

We stayed there two nights, the first night was just two of us which was great for our room. But the the second night we stayed there with 4 adults and it was so crowded and the extra bed (the sofa bed) was small and VERY UNCOMFORTABLE!

On entering the reception area I was pleasantly surprised, yes it was quite small but, it was relatively modern and well presented. We were met by efficient staff who were helpful and attentive, answering any questions that I had. We were given a... more

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
