The property was great the only issue I have is the morning breakfast ended earlier than to time posted. The food should be readily available until the time posted. They clear out too early felt rushed. Otherwise great spot would return and recommend. The bar was nice but the bartender wouldn’t make mixed drinks or cocktails. Which I thought was strange. Why have a bar if the bartender won’t make a drink.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Most interesting areas of Edinburgh were in walking distance and there were a lot of food options close by as well as a large shopping centre within 5 minute walk. The rooms were however a little small for a family of 4 with luggage. It would be perfect for 2 people l.

Couldn't find my reservation at reception at first, which caused undue stress and left waiting. Eventually found, but I was made to feel it was my mistake (asked if I had booked under another name, which I had not).

Great location. Staff excellent. Breakfast good. Room perfect. Only issue is when you have big suitcases - up from the street in six or so steps and then Forman steps to the room.

Good inner city hotel handy to attractions
Rooms at Holiday Inns are always comfortable and well thought out. Accommodation in Edinburgh is at a premium and always on the higher $ level, and this was no exception. There was no dinner restaurant at the Hotel but there was a range of eateries close by. Hotel was within walking distance of Princes Street and Royal Mile. Parking in Edinburgh in general is a nightmare. Managed to park over the road at Omni Centre, but did so before finding out the hotel guests get a discount and we were unable to use the discount code because we were already parked.
