Tempatnya di pusat kota, dekat dengan stasiun waverley edinburgh (jalan kaki 10 menit). Lokasinya sangat dekat dengan patung Sherlock Holmes. Makanannya sangat enak (walaupun menginap 2 malam dengan sarapan yg sama) namun blueberry cupcake terenak yg pernah saya makan. Mereka juga menyediakan sosis vegan. Kami sangat puas menginap di hotel ini. Semoga bisa kembali ke Edinburgh dan tentunya menginap di Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh

Hotel is in very strategic location. You just need walk like 50 meters from the nearest tram station. The receptionist is very friendly and gave the suggestion regarding what needs to do in Edinburgh. Will be back for sure if go to edinburgh again.

We had a great time staying at the Holiday Inn Express in the heart of edinburgh. When we traveled by train, you need to use the proper exit to find the hotel, so we used the smartphone app. We found the service to be quite pleasant. The rooms were what you would expect, clean, comfortable, and quiet. Breakfasts were good though it can be very busy, and its best to avoid the busy time beginning at a.m. It was a great location, and we walked there and back to the Royal Yacht Britannian and the castle. We had a good walk around edinburgh, which is very compact for a capital city. Our son is at the University of Edinburgh, so he will be returning and, depending on pricing, would stay again. As some reviewers have stated, staying right in the heart of edinburgh is expensive, so you might need to stretch your budget to stay anywhere.

The price was very affordable, including breakfast, which was worth the price. However, this is a well-managed, antique shop. I booked this hotel for 5 nights. Edinburgh has a lot to see! The hotel is strategically located, near the end of the tram line from the airport, close to Waverley Station, the Theatre, topping bookstore, and the John Lewis store. There is also a teach express, a 2-minute walk from the hotel for toiletries, snacks, and so on. The young staff are all extremely professional and friendly, and they are proud of their hotel and the city. Bora at the reception was very nice and eager to show us all the places to see on the hotel map. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The kettle had coffee maker for drinks in the early morning or late evening. Breakfast was included in the price and was more than sufficient to set us up for a busy morning of sightseeing.

Last weekend we booked for 2 nights but due to rain and flooded tracks, we ended up in Newcastle for the first night because there are no trains heading any further. The hotel quickly acknowledged our email and didn't charge us for the first night. We arrived at noon on Saturday. Bora at reception recommended places for tea and places to visit and is an asset to the hotel. Positive attitude, helpful and interested in our plans.

Very nice breakfast which is close to the airport tram stop, and very close to Castle Hill, where you should go to see the beautiful sunsets in the evening. I will stay here again.

I had the good fortune to choose this fantastic little hotel over a great weekend in Edinburgh for rugby. Sonia, natalie, and francesca were the kindest and most lovely women. really taken care of me and made me feel welcome. Breakfast was delicious, and the beds were really comfortable. I would advise this hotel. My Scottish rugby buddies usually come in but they can't make it, so they booked this hotel and the staff is simply incredible. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for making a great weekend possible.
