Budget accomodation for luxury prices

Good location Excellent and friendly attentive staff Comfy beds and well equipped room Excellent shower area...good water temperature and flow and oh so sparkly clean Clever use of space with door that isolated toilet area if wished Free wifi and two terminals for use in foyer if no laptop with you

Dining area for breakfast was a little cramped

The hotel is a modern one but, being housed in an old building, has more character than other Holiday Inns. The bar was a pleasant place to relax after the end of a day's sightseeing in the city - most places were within walking distance. The self-service breakfast was better than expected, and free newspapers were readily available.

On arriving in Picardy Place, the hotel was at first difficult to spot as the only indication is a relatively small name sign by the entrance (a local authority planning requirement, maybe?)

I Found the staff very helpfull the room clean and the breakfast was great...i would stay here again if I was ever in need of acc in Edinburgh.It was close to all emenities,but far enough from the noise of hogmanay.

Booked the Holiday Inn due to Location to the Playhouse, great hotel with good staff and the rooms were spotless, will certainly use this hotel again.

We were going to see we will rock you at the theartre and some shopping so the location was ideal. Surroundings were nice and clean as well.

There wasnt enough parking spaces in the hotel. We parked outside in the carpark bay where you can only stay for 4 hrs, we were 20 minutes late to buy the ticket for the next 4 hrs and received a £30 parking fine. Residents should be given a notice for there car so that the traffic wardens know that they are hotel residents and that they are waiting for a space to become available within the hotel.

Hassle free and friendly.

- Nice room - very good location

- The hotel has a very small parking (about 10 cars) and when its full you need to park at the other side of the street in a public parking which will cost you 22 pound a night. - the breakfast is served until 9.30, but when you come at 8.45 or later most of the scales with warm food (sausages, eggs etc) are empty.... - the staff is not very friendly

Central and easy to get to.

Breakfast really busy - dining area not big enough for the number eating at holiday times. Parking extremely limited. Both these are understandable under the cercumstances.

The location was excellent and the staff were very welcoming and accomodating and lovely clean hotel.

Helpful, friendly staff, great location and very good amenities. Will definitely stay again :)

The breakfast had no bacon!!! :(

The hotel staff is not so cooperative as it seems. They welcome you with a "mechanic" smile and typical instructions and then if you ask for some supplement information they seem unwilling to help you. Additionally, the double room in the hotel doesn't have air circulation system. There is a tiny air system in the bathroom but it cannot ventilate the whole room.The window is hermetically closed (actually it is blocked) so after a couple of hours you are feeling really uncomfortable inside the room.

Close to City center.
