It was ok
The room was comfortable, however we were there during a game at the field and could hear the neighbors using the bathroom and talking loudly throughout the hallway. The doors of the rooms don’t close quietly, instead they slam shut so that was an inconvenience while trying to sleep.

Nice cozy and wonderful place
It was a great stay, Holiday Inn location was very centrally located, easy access to public transport/ to city Centre/ Usher hall / airport. The breakfast buffet was a nice spread, for children there was pancake machine available. The bar too is reasonably priced. Had booked for 2 nights stay extended it by another day. Edinburgh Zoo is next door Taxi / Uber / Bolt easy access.

Good but not great
Hotel was bright, clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly, courteous and helpful. However the building itself is in need of more care… chipped paintwork, marks on hallway walls and the hairdryers are either from the 1980s or extremely cheap (the one in my room smelt of burning and then blew its fuse within less than 30 seconds).

There is an issue with car parking using the zoo car park which ANPR recorded the registration for my car then it was apparently set at wrong date and tried charging me for 2 days instead of 1. Also queue for breakfast isn’t good as there is cold and hot items and one queue which is slow due to length of queue which could be quicker if 2 queues

Disappointing stay
Disappointing- stayed here lots of times- but corridors are very shabby with worn carpets and chunks out the walls with luggage. So many trays and glasses left outside bedroom doors that lay for hours. Reception staff lovely but others not, made to feel like we were a hinderance. Pork sausages at breakfast uncooked and fried eggs had been lying for ages. The rooms are not cheap to stay at, very disappointed. We have loved staying here for years but doubt we will be back
