Perfect location for our needs
Lifts very noisy and lots of noise after midnight

Nice location in Leith, close to the waterfront. Reasonable prices for Edinburgh. Public transportation just in front of the hotel. Nice breakfast selection.
Nothing really....

We have stayed previously, so I knew car parking wouldn't be an issue. £10 voucher towards £20 24-hour fee for on-site parking. Hot breakfast is always welcome where you're travelling. As Holiday Inns are all the same, you know what to expect. Buses and trans close by, we didn't use any as this was purely an overnight stop travelling to the Highlands the following day. We found a pub for dinner only a 10 minute walk away.

Very nice. Great location to the tram but not good walking distance to town

Breakfast was really good. The bar was good and the dinner/lunch was great too.
The room was comfortable, if a bit small, and the staff did a great job cleaning it every day & tripping the tea/coffee supplies.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Surprised that the TV was not a Smart TV, and the screen quality/definition of the TV that was in the room was quite average
Pizza selection was poor - only 3 options with no option to choose toppings was very limiting.
Breakfast was really good but could have had a few more options (fried eggs, waffles, yogurt pots) and the apples were not good quality.
This is a nice hotel with great staff and the room was nice, but a few critiques as above & ultimately don’t believe it was great value for money: cost was quite high but the hotel didn’t then match the expectations which the cost brought.

Close by city , 20mins of tram take us to city. Tram or bus boarding is close by property
Price can be little less than what’s been charged

Proximity to tram. It was quiet, the location was great.
Lifts were a little slow but not a big deal really.

We enjoyed our stay. It was clean and perfect access to trams to get to city centre and Murrayfield stadium. Check out time was reasonable.
Breakfast finished early at 10am, we were not told this we thought it was 11am finish. We went for breakfast at 9.45 and there was no hot food available will was disappointing.

We enjoyed our two day stay at this hotel. The room was perfect for our needs and spotless clean with good facilities. The bed was very comfortable and I loved the fact that you could open the windows for fresh air. Parking on site was very easy to organise and we had the option of the tram, local buses or the hop on hop off bus to go into central Edinburgh. A very convenient location , also close to shops and within walking distance of some good restaurants. The staff were always helpful and courteous. The breakfast had a good selection of options and everything was lovely.

The lovely receptionist at check in was fantastic!
Breakfast was a bit of shambles. Not enough seats for anyone. Food not replenished. There was people taking 5x per item knowing there was people waiting and queuing. But we got fed. Coffee machine wasn't working properly for a cappuccino. Was a black coffee. Not ideal. Would book again.

Staff were friendly, located very near a tram stop which gets you into the city pretty quickly.
Building was a little run down. Chairs in the breafast / waiting rooms were filthy.

Efficient, friendly and helpful staff. The room was clean and serviced well. Nice breakfasts. The hotel was in a convenient spot for getting the tram into Edinburgh town centre.
Although the room was clean, it was a little tired around the outside of the shower. The windows in the room would not stay closed when pulled to.
Thank you for your information!
