Beautiful hotel with exceptional staff.

The location was a little off the beaten track but still within easy reach of the city.. The breakfast was very good for a budget hotel. The staff were were helpful and friendly. The room was exceptionally clean.

This was not the hotel's fault, someone caused the fie alarm to go off during the night which was a bit inconvenient, however the staff dealt with it rather swiftly.

Muy buena calidad precio

Está muy bien comunicado. Junto a la mejor atracción de Edimburgo, el barco real Britania. El hotel es recomendable porque al no estar en el centro su precio es bastante bueno. El desayuno esta incluido, aunque la gran pega es que no tienes opciones "healthy", apenas un poco de fruta y nada más. El hotel tiene parking y te hacen descuentos si lo comentas en recepción.

El desayuno es muy ingles. Te sentirás como un rey si te gusta el bacon y las comidas pesadas, grasosas y contundentes.

Disappointed

Location was perfect.

The restaurant/kitchen was incapable of serving the number of guests wanting breakfast. We experienced a 12-15 person 10 minute queue for a breakfast table, waiting around for bacon, tomatoes, hash browns. No cups or plates, no butters & guests changing the jams & marmalade bottles. The items were brought out a few at a time - immediately taken by waiting guests so that it was impossible to have a complete plate of hot breakfast in one go.

Amazing hotel in lovely Leith

Loved our stay. Ample parking spaces, dog friendly, very hospitable staff, fancy breakfast

When we visited, the main lift in the lobby broke down. Guests had to use a secondary lift in the hallway, adjacent to rooms. We were placed in a room on the ground floor, right opposite the lift and it was a nightmare due to the constant comings and goings of other guests who waited for the lift literally at our doorstep. All evening and morning we had suitcase dragging, chattering and baby tantrums. I appreciate that the hotel was fully booked that day and the amazing staff did what they could. That being said I would have preferred to be diverted to an overflow hotel instead

2 beds squeezed into a room that barely fits 1, certainly not suitable for a family or worth £249!

Good location, easy bus connection to Edinburgh

Room was too small and very overpriced!

Gute Lage, aber enttäuschender Aufenthalt

Günstige Lage, kostenloses Parken im Parkhaus gegenüber

Starker Geruch im Zimmer, mangelnde Sauberkeit, schlechtes Frühstück, überfüllter Frühstücksraum, sehr unbequeme Schlafcouch

Location met our requirements. Room was comfortable but catering totally inadequate.

Breakfast service was appalling. Apparently the main cooker was broken and there were long delays and small quantities of hot breakfast food items. Staff were not checking that there were sufficient quantities of food to meet demand from guests, there was no signage to explain that the kitchen facilities were compromised and some staff were unaware of the issue. The quality of breakfast most certainly did not meet expectation.

Pedestrian sort of place charging more than similar hotels in France and Spain

With an address including waterfront one might have expected to be near if not overlooking the sea. This was not the case

Très bon rapport qualité-prix pour cet hôtel bien desservi avec des arrêts de bus et tram très proch

Hôtel très calme , excentré du centre historique mais très bien desservi par des bus ( 20-30 min de trajet) et le tram pour l'aéroport est à 2-3 min à pied. Le petit-déjeuner est à volonté et varié , le personnel est très souriant et agréable. La chambre est propre ainsi que la salle bain .

Seul bémol , le canapé convertible a un matelas un peu inconfortable pour les enfants , très mou et on sent les ressorts. La chambre manque de rangement pour les affaires.

Exvellent value, lovely room and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again

Very comfortable room and great location. Very comfortable bed also. Good facillities. The staff were friendly and helpful at checkin and checkout

The breakfast layout was a little confusing and chaotic. Items were not placed logically - ie no bin next tot the tea making faciliites for tea bags. Milk not in an obvious place for tea. Cutlery not in an obvious place, same with plates. A sense of flow or logiic with some signage would be good and thus reduce "chaotic`' people bumping into one another

The Holiday Inn Express was superb with everything you could want!!

The location and the hotel were excellent. The breakfast was superb with so much to choose from. The only thing we didn't have was a mini fridge, as I'm a diabetic I needed to keep my insulin in.

Bom custo beneficio!

O café da manhã é muito bom e o quarto é limpo e agradavel. Gostei bastante. É um pouco distante do centro mas um uber funciona muito bem!

Achei que o quarto não aquecia suficiente, mas as cobertas foram mais do que suficientes para aquecer!

The BEST night's sleep during our time in Scotland!

My Fiancé & I were visiting Scotland for the very first time from London & we stayed in 3 different places over a duration of almost 2 weeks so that we could explore as many areas as we could. We can honestly say that we actually slept the BEST, here! The bed was the most comfortable bed that we have EVER slept in! The curtains blocked out ALL of the sunlight so that we wasn't woken too early with light shining in. The TV was a great size & the sofa/chair in the room was a little added bonus! We could not fault the cleanliness of the whole room including the bathroom, to

The breakfast was absolutely DELICIOUS! We could not fault the food in any way. It was busy & there was some people cutting in the queue & putting pressure on you while you was trying to make a cup of tea, but that was through no fault of the hotel itself. Maybe some more navigation by staff to other people would be helpful in this sort of situation, but it is not a necessity as the staff are busy already. The only downside to our stay was the fact that when I asked for some vegetarian sausages, a staff member made a big point of 'sighing' & told me that I should have pre-ordered them the evening before. We arrived quite late the night before at around 10pm & I was NOT told this information otherwise I would have done it. I explained this to her, but she rolled her eyes & told me that they will be around 15 minutes. I told her that we were in no rush, but she made me feel like I was 'putting her out' so to speak. There was no eye contact & she just banged the plate down on our table & walked away when they were cooked. It made me feel very uncomfortable & bad for being a vegetarian of almost 24 years. I pre-ordered them again for the following morning with a different lady this time & she was very lovely about the whole situation when I told her what had happened. I came downstairs the following morning & she had 2 ready for me on a plate. This lady was an older lady & could not have been more accommodating. She certainly redeemed the whole negative outlook of breakfast there, as I was initially made to feel that uncomfortable that I was going to go elsewhere for breakfast regardless that I had already paid for it.

Loved the location as it was just far enough away from city centre with great tram connections. Loved that it is dog friendly. Staff were fantastic.

Not much.

I would like to know number of the room and all information about it when I am booking the room while they let the Coustomers to know the type of the room only. The Coustomer even doesn't know which floor is the booked room.

Excellent choice for bringing your pet

Excellent location at the north of Edinburgh- we stayed with our dog and that made a big difference!

It’s a standard holiday inn, while the bar was good, the breakfast was not the best
