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

Hi, Just returned exhausted after a 3 night break in our Capital. Received a twin room at side which had issues with shower flooding and tv not working. Complained every day to no avail. Woken every 20mins or less with noise within, thats hen nights, school trips, mayhem etc. Spent numerous minutes calling reception on one particular night about 'kids'... more

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

Okay, so me and my partner took a trip to the edinburgh festival for 5 nights. We thought there would be no chance of finding a hotel in the centre on a tight budget.. wrong! This Holiday Inn Express does everything it says. It provides a comfortable base for 2 people, (would not recommend for more than 2, but c'mon... more

We stayed here for 3 nights along with our infant. They had all basic fecilities and the staff were very helpful. Only 2 issues we faced, one was the entrance had stairs to picking the buggy to enter and again to get access to the lifts was bit of a pain. Also the breakfast was good but would have hoped... more

Thank you for the review of Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre. I was pleased to read that you found the hotel to have good basic facilities and helpful staff. As the hotel is located in a Georgian listed building there are stone steps leading to Reception on Picardy Place. Our team try to offer help if they see someone...

Stayed 5 nights in 08/2009. Room spotless and very adequate for two, breakfast excellent (continental). Hotel ideally located, 100m from Princes Street, next door to shopping mall with everything. Room not airconditioned (thankfully - as always too hot and stuffy in British and European hotels) but there was a fan - old fashioned but adequate and effective! We would like... more

I wasn't worried when booking a Holiday Inn hotel - wrong. Express hotels are only for sleeping, not necessarily comfort. The room was awfully small for three adults and had little space for opening luggage. The shower was a little weak. Our third adult was given a low, thin pull-out sofa to sleep on and was very uncomfortable and stiff... more

Thank you for leaving a review of Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre. As you have said, Express hotels are designed for sleeping and they are ideal for short stays rather than long stays. I am sorry that you found the bedroom size to be unacceptable. Our city centre location and limited car parking is adviertised on our web-site and...

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

Dear Aussiejoy_9 I was sorry to read your comments about the size of our bedrooms and service here at Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre. This hotel is not a Holiday Inn or Crowne Plaza hotel and therefore a luggage porter, restaurant with table service, delivery of laundry back to guest bedrooms or a full 'turn down' housekeeping service are...
