We stayed here four nights in October 2009. This was my family's favorite hotel on the entire trip. The staff were always kind and helpful. The continental breakfast was outstanding, and there was great care to make sure items were replenished. The complimentary breakfast and newspaper were simply a wonderful way to start the day. The hotel has a Hertz... more

The room was very nice ~ clean, spacious and a great view of the roundabout! Only drawback was that there isn't any airconditioning, and even though it was very comfortable with the windows open, it was hard to sleep deeply ~ even with really comfortable beds and pillows. Location is the best part ~ lots of good restaurants, across from... more

I booked my Edinburgh hotel through Hotwire, and after completing my reservation, I was not thrilled to find out that I'm staying at a Holiday Inn Express, simply because I wanted a more quaint accomodation. However, I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The location is ideal. You can literally walk anywhere, which is important especially in Edinburgh because they... more

My 15 yr old daughter and I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express City Centre during the half term holiday. It was brilliant!! Spotlessly clean, rooms a good size and well designed, and thecontinenetal breakfasts faultless. Hotel is located close to Princess Street and is perfectly placed for shopping, sightseeing, Waverley station and bus tours. Even though its so close... more

This was our first trip to Edinburgh for a very long time (20 + yrs). Went to see We Will Rock You (again). Great central hotel literally across the road from the theatre, we actually had a disabled room hence it was very roomy and no complaints, lovely comfy bed. No complaints about noise. Reception staff very friendly and helpful.... more

Interestingly at this hotel you are handed a welcome letter detailing what the hotel is about, local facilities and an emphasis that all rooms at the HI Express Edinburgh are "the same". They are not - clear from this site and visit - the rooms may have similar facilities - but location in the hotel will give you a very... more

Thank you for the recent review of Holiday Inn Express - Edinburgh City Centre. I was glad to read that you found the hotel represented excellent value for money when booking the advance purchase rate. As you have explained in the review, the hotel offers slightly different rooms as the hotel is located in a Georgain listed building i.e. some...

I have to say in reading the other reviews, I agree with the reviews made that the hotel has a fantastic location - very central, good bedrooms and with helpful hotel staff. I am not sure how long the hotel has been open but the hotel looks like it has been refurbished or decorated when you get inside. Everyone in... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for 18-nights and in my opinion; it's not a place for business travelers. My room was on the 6th floor with two single beds. It was forever noisy; obviously the holidaymakers were always up late partying or having domestics at 4am in the morning. Which is fine, if you're on holiday as you should... more

We stayed in this hotel during a 4 day stay in Edinburgh. This was my second stay here. The hotel is centrally located in the new town. It is in a Georgian style building with huge beautiful windows. Everything is within walking distance from the hotel. A taxi stop is located right across the street. Our room, 327, and bed... more
