The hotel is about a 15 min walk from the train station, its on the lower portion of the street so pay attention or you'll walk right past the turn for it. The location is great though its just on the lower side of the Royal Mile so you cut through a little alley and your right in the midst... More

We booked a twin bedded room but there was a crying baby in next room so we moved to double. Note, double means a full size bed (54 inches in US) which was much smaller than we were used to. The mattress was not great, nor were the pillows. There was a fold out couch which was not comfortable for... More

Location - situated within 15 minutes' walk from George Street (where there are a lot of nice restaurants), 15 minutes from Edinburgh Castle and 10 minutes from Holyrood. As you can tell, it's very close to lots of things you may want to see whilst in Edinburgh but as it's set slightly away from the town centre, it's very peaceful.... More

Situated close to the Royal Mile, but in a quiet location, Clean, comfortable room, good breakfast. Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay and felt very relaxed and at ease. More

Excellent location in Old Town of Edinburgh, 200 meters from the Royal Mile - High St. New building with spacious clean rooms. Good breakfast, but need a little more variety. Good value for your money. ( Generally, in Edinburgh hotels have very high prices ) More

Room was on the smaller side, but had all required amenities and was a clean/bright space to relax in. Front desk staff was super attentive and friendly, and easily answered all questions about the area. Location is also hard to beat - literally just minutes away from every attraction. Perfect place to stay for a few nights of Edinburgh exploration. More

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and I could not be more satisfied with the service and location. It is so close to everything that you would want to go and do. The room was great and the breakfast was pretty good as well. I liked the fact that you are close to the Royal Mile but off... More

I agree with the positive comments from other reviewers. We were pleased with our stay. Thanks to all the staff who do such a good job, all were friendly and helpful, special thanks to Konstantin and Michelle on reception. More
