Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City (I)

Pros: * Unbeatable Location: Just an 8-minute walk to the train station and perfectly situated near both Old Town and New Town. * Comfort & Cleanliness: Spotless room with very comfortable beds. Small room for 3 but it is Ok for us * Perks: Generous breakfast included, plus free good coffee and water. * Staff: Excellent service—the personnel were very kind and helpful despite the hotel being full of guests. Cons / Notes: * Prices in the city are high overall, so while the hotel felt expensive, the rates are consistent with similar options in Edinburgh.

Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was clean throughout, with friendly and welcoming staff who were always happy to help. The 24-hour reception and bar were a real bonus, and the amenities were very good. The location is excellent, especially if you're attending an event at Murrayfield Stadium, as it's within easy reach. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good selection and everything we needed to start the day. However, we wouldn't recommend ordering from the main menu, as the evening food was disappointing and didn't match the standard of the rest of the hotel. Our room rate was noticeably inflated due to the Luke Combs concert, which is understandable during major events. At the hotel's usual prices, though, it offers very good value for money, and we'd definitely recommend staying here.

Booked the Holiday Inn Express- Edinburgh City Centre for 1 night on business. Location was great, right in the centre and close to restaurants and places to visit. Room was comfortable, reasonably sized and perfect for a nights stay. Also very clean and tidy. Although my room was located next to the car park, it was very quiet. Staff were all very friendly Enjoyed the breakfast, good selection and plenty of seating I would stay here again
