Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Airport, an IHG Hotel

We chose it mainly because of its proximity to the airport as we had a very early flight out. Also the transport links into the city were very useful. Nice also to have an included and generous breakfast, and a restaurant to dine at the night we arrived as we had been driving all day and didn't want to go out for dinner.

The staff were phenomenal, all the girls at reception were super attentive, polite and professional. Special shout out to Martha, she’s a wee manager in the making if she isn’t already perfect example of a good hospitality employee. Best bathrooms I’ve seen in a Holiday Inn Express, brilliant showers and nice Dove toiletries. Housekeeping are good at what they do too, rooms were spotless. Ideal for the price and the bus to the airport is ideal as it picks you up at the hotel door.

You can easily access the hotel from town by tram to the Airport and from there there’s a free bus from bus stop stand 10 that takes you to the hotel’s entry. This service is free. If you want to go to the airport to take the tram into town, there is a fee of 2,5 GBP/ adult person, children travel free. We stayed two nights, one on our eay into Scotland and one on our way out and it was perfect for that but I would choose something more central for a longer Edinburgh stay. Be aware that if you have annearly flight, you will only be able to have a cold breakfast (no cold cuts, only muffins and bread with jam or cereal!!) proper breakfast starts at 6:30!! Personell are really kind and helpful and we could leave our luggage for storage when checking out and before our flight.

Staff was super helpfull. Availability to buy food / beverage 24h round. Cleaning every day. Shuttle bus available day & night, though it cost £2.50 per person to get away from the hotel.

The younger front desk lady was absolutely fantastic! She was so friendly and quickly helped us out when we needed something or had a question. She's a work horse!!! Hotel was very close to the airport which made it convenient for travel. I enjoyed the continental breakfast. There were lots of options to choose from. All items were well stocked and cooked well. Loved the coffee machine. Had the best mocha of my whole trip! Room was nice. They didn't have the sofa bed made up, but they were quick to see to it. Beds were quite comfy and really liked that the room had a fan in it!
