Room quality seemed inconsistent. one had a nagging odor that felt more like a cleaning chemical cover-up than freshness. Walls were thin, making it hard to escape the sounds of bustling foot traffic outside and movements from neighboring rooms, which might be a distraction if you're a light sleeper. breakfast options were limited and basic, more suited for a quick bite than a hearty meal. the setup felt more like a cafeteria than a proper dining experience.

Clean bathrooms, convenient luggage storage, good WiFi

Room layout could be better with distracting noise from neighboring rooms!!! Improve sound insulation and ensure cleaning services are reliable to match expectations!!! Lighting in rooms lacks brightness, making it gloomy at night!!! Other facilities need updating!!!

Can recommend for a short staycation

Comfortable room, excellent location, with easy access to transport options like Waverley Train Station nearby, along with helpful staff who made our four-night stay a delightful experience.

Loved everything.

feel at home in edinburgh's holiday inn express with friendly staff and great wi-fi

Exceptional service and breakfast variety.

Perfect Location with Friendly Staff

The location was absolutely perfect, just a short walk from all major attractions, making our exploration of the city super convenient. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the staff were genuinely friendly, providing helpful suggestions for dining options nearby. Breakfast was decent, offering a good selection of items to start the day, but I would have appreciated more variety in the hot options.

Great location and friendly folks!

We had a nice stay for 2 nights in a double room with a sofa bed. The staff was super nice, and it was just a quick stroll to the Royal Mile. Breakfast wasn’t fancy, but it was decent. Just wished the bathroom had a few more lights. it got a bit dim at night.

the location is amazin, just a short walk to royal mile. we found a nice restaurant nearby called ciao roma, thanks to priya at front desk. the hotel was really clean and our room was comfy even with the sofa bed. breakfast was basic but gave us plenty of energy to start the day! shout out to priya for making check-in super easy.

Friendly staff made us feel welcomed, but the room was a bit cramped for us.

I had a lovely stay with a decent breakfast that really set me up for the day, and the clean room was such a treat. Just be ready for a cozy space! I'd definitely return.

The location was brilliant, right in the heart of everything. We had a smooth process checking in and out.

The location was brilliant, right in the heart of everything. The room was clean, and the staff were super friendly, offering great suggestions on where to eat. We really enjoyed the comfortable beds, and the breakfast options were more than adequate to fuel our days exploring Edinburgh.

The room was a bit cramped for three.

Quick response from staff for extra bedding.

Children's bed was not made up upon arrival.

Would recommend for a short stayover

Clean room, convenient location, and friendly staff made our stay enjoyable, with the breakfast each morning being fresh and hot as well as the hotel's proximity to the train station making it easy to explore the area.

Can’t fault anything about it.

I had a fantastic stay! The room was spotless and so cozy for us. Breakfast was plentiful, with a variety of options, which made mornings cheerful! Loved having ample towels and extra pillows too.

Had a pleasant stay overall. The location is fantastic, just steps from the Royal Mile, and the room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small with limited cupboard space. Breakfast was decent, but it would have been nice to have some fresh options. Friendly staff made a difference.
