We were able to walk everywhere as it was right in the centre, close to everything. The staff at the hotel, especially the friendly guy on reception with the Liverpudlian accent, were amazing. They upgraded our room for free and provided excellent service throughout our stay. The room itself was spotless and had all the facilities we needed. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy.
Can't fault anything about it.

Spacious and clean rooms with comfy beds and nice views. Delicious breakfast and friendly, helpful staff. Good facilities including sauna and pool. Close to the zoo with free parking. Late checkout and great buffet breakfast.
Felt very much at home, no complaints whatsoever.

We had a fantastic stay at Holiday Inn. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my disability and make me feel at home. The lounge area and well-stocked bar were impressive, and the Starbucks was a nice touch. Despite some drawbacks, I would recommend this hotel.

As low-budget travelers, we appreciated the option to leave our luggage and the bus stop right outside the hotel for easy transport into the city.
Felt very relaxed, nothing to complain about.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, with a bus stop right next to it, making it easy to explore the city. It is also situated just next to the zoo, providing a fun and enjoyable activity for guests. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a large tub in the bathroom for a relaxing bath. The staff is friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. The breakfast is delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from.
The soundproofing between the rooms is poor, causing noise disturbances from neighboring guests.

The location was perfect, especially for visiting Murrayfield. We also enjoyed the dinner at the restaurant and the drinks in the lounge area. the breakfast had a nice variety of choices.
Check-in took a long time due to a computer issue, and the main meal wasn't great. the room looked tired and in need of decoration, with stains and black mould.

The hotel is situated in a nice area, close to the zoo and with good transportation options. The staff were exceptional, especially Paul in the dining room who was very attentive and remembered guests' needs. The gym was well-equipped and staff were always available to assist.
The rooms were quite dated and could use some updating.

Great location near the airport and convenient for exploring the city. the rooms were clean, and the staff provided fast and helpful service. the reservation process was smooth, and the check-in time was efficient.
The breakfast options were limited in terms of healthy choices. It would be great to see more variety, such as cheeses, hams, fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff were exceptional, especially the restaurant staff who provided us with excellent service during our Friday evening meal. The view from our rooms was breathtaking, with one room overlooking the flamingo enclosure and the others showcasing the beautiful golf course and mountains. The hotel's bar and dining area were fantastic, and the breakfast had a wide variety of options. The pool facilities were small but sufficient. The proximity to the zoo and Edinburgh City centre was a major plus, and the free parking and easy bus routes made exploring the city even more convenient. we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay.

We stayed at Holiday Inn for the rugby and had a fantastic experience. The hotel staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The lounge area was lovely, and they even had a nice Starbucks and a well-stocked bar. As a disabled person with a mobility scooter, I was impressed by how accommodating and welcoming the staff was. I felt right at home. The location was great, with the zoo next door and a bus stop right outside if you wanted to go to the city center. Definitely recommend.
Would recommend this hotel.
