One of the best low-cost hotes stayed in. Check-in was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable staff advising what there is to see and do around Edinburgh. Being a fairly new hotel the rooms are very clean and modern with flat screen TV and free Internet. Wifi is free in public areas but there is no Wifi in room so bring... more

We stayed here at the end of Aug 2008. There are a few pros and cons. Pros: The hotel is new. Great location to Royal Mile and Arthur's seat. A little hard to find. Breakfast was great. Good coffee, hot chocolate. Cons: Room is really small for 2 adults and 2 young children. After they opened up the sofa bed,... more

This hotel was the best Holiday Inn Express we have stayed in for many years. We travel frequently and usually stay at Intercontinental hotels. The staff was fantastic. From the moment we arrived they were punctual, courteous, conscientious and would go out of their way to be helpful. The free wifi is a great benefit. The rooms are immaculate. The... more

This is one of the better hotels I've stayed in recently. Really bright and clean. Check-in was a little disappointing as I had to wait while one of the staff members finished whatever he was doing on the computer and he was slightly rude and offhand, but the other staff were lovely and happy to help with anything I needed.... more

Review posted from my free internet access in our room! (No wifi in rooms, bring your own cable to save buying one for £3.50.) We stay at Intercontinental Hotels a lot using our loyalty points and this is about the best Express so far. We stayed one night at the Holiday Inn out by the zoo on Corstorphine Road and... more

I am a Holiday Inn Priority Club member so am reasonably accustomed to staying in these hotels, however this one was indeed a pleasant surprise. Slightly less bland and faceless than many, the location was central and the staff were extremely helpful, offering a first class personal service. Sadly no wifi in the bedroom - why not? - but the... more

We stayed at this hotel mainly due to the positive ratings here on Tripadvisor, in addition to the excellent location. The hotel is very new - It was opened approx 5 months ago. The entire hotel was spotless - No dirt to be seen anywhere. This is due to a combination of it being a new hotel, and being very... more

I've just came back from Edinburgh from a long weekend and I stayed in the Express by Holiday Inn Edinburgh Royal Mile. I couldn't be more pleased with my stay. This hotel is very new, it only opened in March this year, and it has only 70 rooms. The location is perfect. Only 2 blocks from the Royal Mile. Everything... more

I stayed at this property for just one night on business. If you're not familiar with Edinburgh, don't be fooled with the name 'Royal Mile'. Whilst the hotel is only a few minutes walk from this tourist mecca, it is actually located in the former grounds of a Catholic church on the nearby (and rather grubby / seedy in my... more
