Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Waterfront  

I choose this hotel as I have stayed a few times before. However I was very annoyed that they no longer have smoking rooms. No one bothered to tell me despite my request for a smoking room by e mail. Otherwise the hotel is in an excellent location and the staff are freindly and very helpful.

No smoking rooms!

Good location with plenty of parking . Good bus route into edinburgh righy outside hotel. Very clean and comfortable rooms . Lovely choices for breakfast and all staff very friendly and polite. Would stay again.

It was conveinient to Edinburgh city, by having the bus outside the hotel. There were a number to places locally to eat in the evening, although we had to ask before being recommended where to go to.

On arriving, we entered out room to find it cold. We tried to get the heating going but the air conditioning which should blow hot as well as cold, only blew out cold air. Complained to reception who gave us a heater. Although this did help, it was an extra item to have to manouver around in a rather compact room. The tea/coffee facilities were very limited to just 2 cups of tea and two of coffee with only 2 milks supplied. We went down to the bar one evening. My husband had a pint of Boddingtons and I had a whiskey and bottle of coke from the shop and it came to over £10, found this disgusting. The breakfast was very disappointing, scrambed eggs were ok, sausages ok but no bacon on offer. Also only grapefruit was on offer as fruit to have with yoghurt, surely orange /melon could have been offered. As i dislike grapefruit and wonted to carry on my diet I struggled with the choice of food on offer.

The room was huge and the breakfast included was excellent.

The televisions could be upgraded to flat screens.

Easily accessible.

Price,friendly staff

Everything is at hand. I like also the fact they have introduced hot snack food. It is only pizza, which unfortunately I cannot eat, due to a cheese allergy, but, a good idea none the less.

Could do with soft music in bar to create an atmosphere.

The holiday inn express edinburgh waterfront was first class. The rooms were large and well presented and the bathroom was excellent. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was more than ample. For the price i paid it was fantastic value, i would recomend this venue to anybody, it really was first class.

Hav stayed number of times now- particularly theatre deals .

The Location was perfect for our visit, breakfast was 1st class and all the staff were very friendly and helpful

Covered all boxes with its location, local amenities and excellent bus service to the city centre.

Design and breakfast was good and relaxation
