Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we entered this hotel, we were greeted by very kind, caring staff. They were very helpful with questions, directions etc. We stayed at this hotel for 8 nights. It was great to have breakfast included with our booking. Good variety of breakfast foods and nice areas to enjoy breakfast. Hotel is excellent location to walk to many sites. We are in our seventies and could walk easily to Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. Calton hill is right next door too. When we were there the city tram was down due to a fire along the line- had it been in service it would have stopped right in front of this hotel making a super easy commute from the airport. Our room was always clean and ample to our needs. It was very quiet at night too- great for sleeping. We would easily recommend this hotel to those wanting a central location in Edinburgh."
