Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Leith Waterfront by IHG

Location was good, 2 minute walk to Royal Britannia and an easy tram ride or walk to heaps of res. Room service ok. Parking is close by. Staff were very polite and helpful.

This is avery functional hotel and all the better for that-it meets all your needs and has been well planned and is well run. I was a bit unsure about the parking cost but the reception staff were really helpful and made it very clear what I needed to do for reasonable onsite parking. The rooms are very clean and well organised. We were next to a lift but heard no noise at all. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good but avoid the busiest time. It is very well locasted to explore the very lively Leith but easy to get into Edinburgh but also out onot the main roads.

We enjoyed our two day stay at this hotel. The room was perfect for our needs and spotless clean with good facilities. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fact that you could open the windows for fresh air. Parking on site was very easy to organise and we had the option of the tram, local buses or the hop on hop off bus to go into central Edinburgh. A very convenient location , also close to shops and within walking distance of some good restaurants. The staff were always helpful and courteous. The breakfast had a good selection of options and everything was lovely.

Actually, the main asset of this hotel is its location. Public transport is nearby and easy: tram stop Ocean Terminal is just nextdoor. We came directly from the airport by tram, no changes at all. Several bus lines serving Edinburgh city center have a stop on the other side of the hotel. Right nextdoor as well. We came late home from the Tattoo and could easily get back to the hotel by tram, even very late. Otherwise there's another bus stop served by night bus a stroll away. The parking lot looks nice. 10 Pounds a day. The room was large enough and clean. Excellent bed / sheets. AC worked well. Good TV set / remote / channels. Other advantage: this place is rather easy to reach by car, compared with Edinburgh center which can get very busy and congested. Holiday Inn is located outside of the "chaos" and public transport does the rest!

I was given a ground floor room which was normally set up for disabled access. I am not disabled but appreciated the space . The room was clean and well appointed and the bed was comfortable. Parking was simple and efficient with a pay point located in the lobby and very helpful staff. The hotel is well situated with convenient public transport links on your door step as well as nice restaurants and bars in the vicinity. Overall it was very well suited for my needs and I would certainly use this venue when visiting Edinburgh in future.
