“Lovely Hotel in the Centre of It All”

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre

Oct 28, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

A truly comfortable, clean and modern hotel with all of the main amenities you need - including internet. We were not affected by the noise, as we were on the 6th floor towards the back of the hotel with views of Calton Hill and Leith Docks.

The breakfast was continental and there was lots of it - though I did miss having some eggs.

The location is in the middle of all of the main attractions so no need for public/private transport. We walked to everything.

Overall, great location, nice rooms and efficient service.

“Great location but noisy”

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre

3 of 5 stars
Camano Island, Washington
Sep 28, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed for two nights in Sept. Our room was large and faced the street. That was the problem. It was extremely noisy both nights. Police sirens and noisy people leving the nightclub down the street made for a loss of sleep. If we had stayed longer, I would have asked to be moved.
Another problem we had was the lack of a top sheet. When we asked for one we were told to pick one up the next time we were downstairs. My wife had to put it on the bed, not housekeeping.
The hotel is convienent to restaurants, pubs etc.

“Good Hotel, Good Location”

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre

Sep 19, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

Good standard of hotel in a great location within a 5 minute walk of Princes Street.

Omni Centre and Playhouse opposite.

Rooms were spotless. Tea and Coffee facilities provided.

Breakfast was continental but plenty of it. Good selection of cereals, yoghurts, bread, cheese, fruit plus a toaster with jams, honey etc.

Good service from reception. Didn't get charged for use of onsite hotel, although should have been £5 per night.

No problem with noise like some others have experienced. My husband and I had a room at the front overlooking the Omni and didn't suffer traffic noise. My parents had a room at the back and said it was very quiet.

Overall a great stay for what we paid - only £44 per room per night.

“good value and gret location”

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre

Sep 14, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

much better than expected,standards are good for a large place without character normally found in small quaint bed and breakfasts.

Large breakfast and adequate choice.

Convenient for all the transport links to and from the city.

Recommend for a city break.

“Great Location”

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre

3/3 found this review helpful

I stayed at this hotel for several days mid week and found it very good. It was really close to Princess Street.

Despite other reviews here, it wasn't noisy (I was on the ground floor beside the small car park), it was also easy to find and the staff were very helpful.

Overall, it was very clean, great powershowers and very comfortable beds.

The breakfast was plentiful. There was no restaurant but plenty of eating places nearby.

There was a secure area to leave luggage before signing in or after signing out.

I would stay at this hotel again.
