I was accommodated here by an airline after being stranded at the airport - must have been one of the last ones, so ended up in a smoking room, which made the night a real nightmare (the smell of smoke really disturbing). This point aside, the hotel looks rather tired, it has definitely seen better days. The manager manning the... More

We've stayed here several times because we have competitions in Meadowbank just 15 mins along the road. The hotel is handy if you want to go to the zoo but we never do! The rooms are nice and clean, standard Holiday Inn rooms and furniture. Theres a small indoor pool which is quite deep and actually very good. Theres also... More

We stayed here for two nights for a short stay in edinburgh. The hotel was lovely and clean and we really enjoyed our time there. We had dinner the first night which was included in our stay, the food was average but pleasant. We had breakfast both days and it was lovely! Real homecooked breakfast dinner then all the continental... More

This holiday inn is literally right next door to the zoo - they actually share the same car park but if you are staying at the hotel you don't get charged - even better! The staff at reception were very friendly and welcoming - although on the Sunday that we were there all the water was turned off as they... More

Arrived on Saturday for one overnight stay and was given a 'kingsize' room as requested. This consisted of two single beds fastened together with a lump right down the middle. The bed was extremely hard and the pillow had no support whatsoever - there wasn't much difference between the 'hard' and 'soft' options. The room was fairly comfortable - had... More

Nice clean hotel conveniently located on bus route to city centre. Staff pleasant and helpful. Car park a bit congested, may have to use zoo car park at £10, which is refunded by the hotel, but means queuing at peak times. Food is satisfactory but a bit pricey, with limited choice, and the drink is expensive. However, would use again... More

This hotel is situated right next door to the zoo (much to the fiance's delight lol) and about 10 mins from the city center. I have to say, it doesn't look too good from the outside but the interior is pretty good - the restaurant used for breakfast has a nice view out over the hills and everything was clean... More

Great location, next door to Edinburgh Zoo, (with FREE PARKING !) and convenient for Town centre, regular busses, take 20minutes, cost 1.30 e/w or 3.20 for day-pass. I would definitely stay here again. My first visit to Edinburgh, I found reception friendly, helpful, knowledgeable in planning how to use my time to see things over the weekend. I booked executive... More

The room we were given was extremely small. I doubt that the bed was even a standard double because it felt smaller than ours at home. The towels were really old and worn and I was surprised that we were not provided with conditioner, only shampoo. The swimming pool was very small so we didn't bother trying it. I am... More
