This was a good hotel and a great location. If you have large luggage it is difficult as there are so many confusing stairways that you must go up or down to reach your floor. Up three here to go down five there. But, the location makes it worth it. It is near the bus line and the best part is it is near a Tesco so you can easily get food for a reduced price. We saved a lot by eating our meals there. The breakfast at the hotel was good, many choices.

The hotel was in a great location, the staff are excellent, breakfast was amazing, but the hotel is just OK. The rooms are large but sparse, lighting is poor, room faced a brick wall and you either froze with the air conditioning or baked without it. Rooms are expensive in Edinburgh, but I think I’d pay more and upgrade next time.

My room had black mold in the toilet room and smelled of mold and must. The next room they moved me to the water took a very long time to drain in the shower, i was standing in a inch of water before i was even scrubbed up, I had to rinse off with water from the sink! They did snake the drain while we were out for the day. My room floor was slanted, i felt a lean to the right laying on the bed. My carpet had many bleached, white spots. The walls are so thin! I
Could clearly hear the people talking, watching TV and the person snoring very loudly!
The front desk recommended the restaurant next door, they had the worst pizza!

Good location.... short walk from the railway station. We had a room in the basement which was at street level. It was quiet but and awkward shape and at busy pavement level so didn't feel very private. I am sure there are a lot better rooms which would make it an excellent choice for Edinburgh.

I’ve stayed in this hotel many times. It is definitely showing its age. Very crowded, lots of Tour buses use this Hotel due to It’s fantastic location in the city. But… They’re starting to ask too much for their hotel rooms. Right across the street is a hotel owned by Marriott called the Glass House. Absolutely 5star hotel, and cheaper than the prices they were asking in June 2026. The Holiday Inn has many hallways that do not always match up, and the floors creek everywhere. Many small rooms, but the rooms are clean, the bathrooms are clean for the most part. Breakfast is always consistent, but use fake Hotel grade eggs, and lots of Scottish side dishes in addition to bread, coffees, etc. Definitely convenient for breakfast.

Central location within walking distance to touristic spots yet no outside noise, we had undisturbed sleep. Good amenities, clean and comfortable. We were able to check in early and the express checkout is handy when rushing back to the airport. Breakfast was busy but we were able to find tables for our large group. Wide choice of food from continental to savoury and the option to pack food to go (paper bags and wooden cutlery provided)

Location is great. The tram from the airport stops right in front of the hotel (Picard Place station). It can't get more convenient than that - you just cross the street. There are lots of places to eat and you can walk easily to the old town attractions. The rooms were tight (with the sofa sleeper extended) , felt outdated and damp from the humidity in the air. Staff was nice and the included breakfast was good.

Breakfast was very good with lots of options. Plenty of workers to keep food stocked. However, if you are a fulltime wheelchair user I'd look elsewhere. The room was small( not even a closet- every thing compact like a cruise cabin)and the Breakfast bar was on a level not accessible for a wheelchair user. So if you're a solo wheelchair user look elsewhere. I was able to walk up the stairs and bring plates of food back down the stairs where they have seating near the reception area.
Also , there is no wheelchair entrance in the front of the hotel only in the rear with cobblestone area. It's a nice hotel it just was not the right one for us with my husband being a fulltime wheelchair user.

This is possibly one of the worst stay in my life. The room was very small (barely a double and we were 4), no space to move nor to open the luggage. Carpet was worn and dirty, the room smelled and was very stuffy, very poor ventilation. Breakfast was very crowded and quality of the food quite low: practically no fresh fruit, horrible coffee. It's a shame because staff was amazing and hotel position really good.

I'll start off by saying the staff are excellent. Breakfast was ok - what you'd expect, great that you had the option to take food 'to go'. Only criticism of breakfast was that the hash browns weren't crispy enough. The bedrooms are dated and the sofa bed is not a standard double bed. We had 2 adults and 2 children and the first room we were given was very very small. Reception staff were very helpful and provided us with a bigger room, but the sofa bed is definitely not fit for 2 people - this was further proven by the fact that both rooms we seen were laid out for 3 people (3 coffee cups, 3 towels). Hotel is overdue a refurbishment.
However, location is fantastic for seeing Edinburgh.
