This hotel is the perfect location if you want to be near the Prince's St shops or the Playhouse Theatre. The hotel is only two years old so is modern on the inside and is in pristine condition.Our bedroom was large for an Edinburgh hotel with a view of the Omni Centre and the Playhouse Theatre directly opposite but was... more

I stay at this hotel on a fairly regular basis and find it is clean, staff are friendly and it is well placed for shopping and restaurants. The Omni centre and Playhouse are located just across the road, as is the St. James centre (John Lewis etc). The beds are super comfortable but the hotels hairdryer is pretty wick! There... more

We stayed here for two nights (family of 4 with teenagers) and found the room to be OK - a bit small for 4. Our main problem with the room though was even though the weather was quite cool, the room was way to hot. We tried opening the window but then we had very loud street noise. There was... more

We arrived at out hotel at approx. 8.00 am & left in our bags. Having been up from 4.30a.m., we returned from shopping shortly before 2.00pm, looking forward to having a rest. We were told our room was not ready (as were several other people) & were offered a complimentary drink in the bar. At 2.40 I enquired again about... more

I thought this hotel was great, price etc considered. Stayed three nights in a twin room, two by myself and one night shared. The room is fairly sparse, but considering one is paying for Holiday Inn Express you get what you expect. I found the room to be a little more spacious than I would have originally thought, which is... more

I stayed here for 2 nights with my Dad and Uncle (in their 80s), my cousin and his wife. Situation is perfect - all the main sights of Edinburgh within walking distance. For a budget hotel I was very impressed with the decor, cleanliness, great design of en-suite facilities (love the loo / bathroom door!), superb continental breakfast - the... more

I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights in August. Good, clean hotel about 15 minutes walk to the Royal Mile. Close to Princes Street shopping and Edinburgh Castle. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was more than adequate. more

Myself and 13 work colleagues stayed here as we were going to the Playhouse Theatre which is conveniently situated across the road. It has a perfect city centre location and the rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was included and there was plenty of choice. We thought the price per room was reasonable given the location. more

Unexceptional hotel with a great location close to city centre and main rail station. Front desk service is uninspired and alarmingly little checks are made for ID when checking in - considering my partner had checked in earlier and I was able to turn up and get a key by just giving my name it was a little disturbing. Elevatores... more
