5 star! ⭐️

My room was very neat tidy clean and comfortable. It was very relaxing room and hotel with inclusions I.e swimming pool, sauna and bar with restaurant . The food was excellent and delivered to my table hot and well presented and without a long wait. The hotel is in a really good location with bus stops right at the entrance of hotel and just opposite which gives great access to Edinburgh city and airport in just 15 minutes with airport buses every 15 minutes from 04.00 to 00.35 daily. Would highly recommend this hotel. The zoo is also beside the hotel which can also be an added bonus. St John’s road full of shops and amenities 5 minute walk. 👍😊

Everything was fine. Not many shops nearby but that didn't matter as I didn't need any! Staff were all lovely, no issues there. Room was functional, clean & everything needed was there. Only issue I had was the TV messed around when I tried to cast my phone, but that may have been my fault.

Old hotel, a Holiday Inn without breakfast

The room was clean and housekeeping provided daily without asking. The building is old and smelly, the only nice area is the restaurant and breakfast area. Breakfast is NOT included, a first for me at a Holiday Inn. The room was located practically in the basement and the parking is really hard to move in and out. I would avoid this hotel if I go back to Edinburgh.

The hotel had some good points, staff were helpful when we asked for assistance carrying our bags up the stairs to reception, and extra coffee was provided when requested. The overall setting was pleasant. Negatives : However, our stay was let down by the lack of heating. The room was extremely cold, and the heater didn’t work. On the first night, I woke up at 3am freezing and had to wear jackets to bed. The second night, i called reception to check if it was centralized and controlled by reception. I was told there should be another panel heater, but there wasn’t one. I tried calling reception four times afterwards, but no one answered. It’s a shame, because with better heating and more attentive reception service, this could have been a much more enjoyable stay.
