Very central to everything. Great location.
Rooms were extremely small for a family of 4. Would’ve appreciated daily cleaning of room, only had towel changes.

Location is excellent. Right in the Centre of the city. One can walk down to most of the happening places. Many restaurants around.
Check in was a bit of challenge. We were given rooms on the 6th level. Unfortunately, that day the lift to the 6th floor was not functional. So, all of us with kids and baggage had to use the lift going to 5th floor. From 5th floor we had to climb the stairs to the 6th floor carrying our heavy luggage. There were few of us who were of old age, and we had some difficulty in reaching our rooms. Also, there is a slope or steps from the lobby to the lift landing area. This also proved to be a bit of challenge, what with the heavy baggage that we were carrying.

My stay at Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre was truly amazing. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. The breakfast was satisfying, and I especially enjoyed the coffee. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-managed, and I didn’t encounter a single issue during my stay. Highly recommended for both business and leisure travelers!

Location was good. All staff were friendly,helpful and approachable
There were no instructions/guide in the room on how to use the heating/air-conditioning. I ended up using the Internet at 2am to work it out. I ended up having to download an app to use remotely during our stay.
