Nov 26, 2007 | Trip type: Friends getaway

I decided on this hotel mainly because most of the hotels near the city were booked out plus the fact that I was already familiar with the chain. Apart from the nonchalant front desk staff, service was just ok, nothing special. It was three of us, and through their website we managed to get a rate that included breakfast, which was satisfactory.....the usual anyway, but it was filling.

The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is next door to the zoo (open from 9-6) and on the bus route 12, 26 and 31 into the city, so transportation into town is good ( every 10-15 mins) without having to fight for parking there. Parking right outside the hotel entrance itself is tight but extra space is available further away from the main entrance.

The reception does not change money and unfortunately for us the ATM in the small lobby did not accept our card. As I understand it, the ATM does not accept many overseas cards. The banks would be your nearest exchange point . Internet is expensive but available.

The bathroom was not immaculate but it was fairly clean. More attention needed to be paid to the mould that was appearing in the basin area. The water pressure was quite heavy but I had a serious problem trying to get it to the right temperature. It was either blistering hot or icy cold. In trying to mix them, icy cold water came out one side and very hot water came out the other side of the spout. I didnt rinse off, I just dried off...much safer.

I would return if I didnt have a choice. I would however prefer to stay at another hotel.

For those interested, a short distance away from the hotel is a small snack place "Joe's 3 in 1" . It is near to the Haymarket Pub...I think its Morrison Road not very sure, BUT the prices are good and I found the service efficient. It is a tiny, cosy spot and if you drive too fast you will miss it. Joe and Donna are the friendly owners. They serve pizzas, kebabs and burgers.

Very friendly reception although bit slow at check in , Bar staff pretty clueless and mixed drinks orders up several times . Bedroom average all the usual things that you`d expect from a hotel of this standard and good clean bathroom . Holiday Inns are just bed factories and pretty souless places and this no exception but if you can get room for less than £100 its reasonable value for E`boro

This is the second time this year we've stayed at this hotel and we cannot fault it. We take a family room 1 double and a covertable sofa bed for the 2 chldren and it's very good value.
Breakfast buffet is good with a large choice of hot and cold food.

Staff were very friendly and helpful especially with the children.

I stayed here with my Husband (the day after our wedding) for 1 nights stay before leaving from Edinburgh Airport for our flight to Manchester then onwards to our honeymoon.

We had a very pleasant stay and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

We were given great advice on transport to the airport and the hotel had no problems arranging this for us.

Our room was incredibly clean and comfortable, this was the general feeling about the whole hotel.

We didnt eat here, instead we ventured into Edinburgh to George street and ate at the Hard Rock Cafe, which was also great.

We even vivited the zoo before heading to the airport. We got discounted tickets from the hotel.

Overall, this hotel was cheap and very cheerful...a lovely start to an amazing honeymoon

1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed here for 1 night recently with my wife and 2 year old son.

overall I was quite impressed with the Hotel.

Check in and check out were quick and efficient.

There was a carvery for dinner in the restuarant and the food was better than average - a good selection and not too pricey for a hotel.

We used the swimming pool and it was fine, however there is no shallow end for kids.

The room itself was OK, large bed, clean and the sofa bed made up before we got to the room.

The most positive thing about the hotel is the staff - all of the staff were very friendly and excellent with our child, this included the receptionist, the people working in the gym, the restuarant staff
and the bar staff - all very friendly and they went out of their way to make sure we were happy.

I stay at so many hotels all over the UK that it was a real pleasant suprise to find some effiecient, happy and accomodating staff, in fact they should send them to some of the other Holiday Inn's I stay at to train some of them!
