The hotel met our expectations for a Holiday Inn Express. Comfy beds and good breakfast options. The personnel was helpful and accommodating, they gave us recommendations for free parking in the area. Although it's rather far from the center of Edinburgh, the hotel is very close to several buses and tramway lines that drive through the city center, so it wasn't an issue at all. It also gave us an opportunity to discover Leith and the Shore area, which we might not have seen if we'd stayed closer to the center. Beautiful area with a relaxed feel, ideal for drinks, dinner and brunches.
There was no heating in the bathroom, it wasn't very comfortable stepping out of the shower in the cold. Some aspects of the room could be cleaner (curtains, carpets).

The location was convenient being right on the tram line into town. Also convenient to have parking. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable although the pillows were quite hard. The shower was good. The room was reasonably spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
It was about the most expensive hotel we have stayed in so far and then we had to pay for parking on top of that. The heater in our room didn’t work and they had to give us a freestanding heater. We asked to have it fixed but it wasn’t. Also, this is a minor thing but the toilet roll holder was not the correct one for the fitting and it fell out every time you touched it with toilet paper all over the floor. We asked to have this fixed too but it wasn’t. The staff are good though, you don’t feel you are causing trouble by making requests.
