Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Royal Mile

"Really enjoyable stay in a great Edinburgh location. The team were genuinely friendly and welcoming throughout. A special mention to Ahmed at reception for such a warm and professional welcome."

"We had a fantastic stay at this hotel, the staff were fantastic and friendly. We were very grateful to have been checked in early and able to clean up and have a small rest after our red eye before exploring the city. I appreciated the Dove soap dispensers in the bathroom and shower. The rooms also had kettles, coffee and tea. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the desk chair was comfortable. The hotel also had ice which was fantastic. We had an excellent stay and would highly recommend."

"Let's start with the staff who were excellent. Very helpful and excellent customer service. The breakfast was very good although the toaster was glacially slow. The Gluten Free options were very good here. There is a little cafe/dinner close by which is basic but good. There is also a little convenience store which is open all hours. Very useful. Calling it The Royal Mile is definitely a marketing ploy. You are only 1 block down from the Mile but I guess it sounds better than Cowgate. As often in Edinburgh getting to the Mile means going up or down a hill! Most of which are pretty steep. We only had two niggles during the stay. Firstly the WiFi in the ground floor bedroom was below par. Low quality and frequently dropping out with the phone waiting for the quality to improve. The public areas were stronger. The second relates to the fire detector in the room. This had two small bulbs that flashed every 30 seconds with an intensity that was off the wall. Most annoying & no idea why you'd design in something that lights up the room!"
