Express by Holiday Inn Edinburgh Waterfront

Four of us spent a weekend here and had a great stay. Comfortable, very clean rooms, convenient parking and friendly staff. The breakfast was good - free papers too. Very convenient for getting a bus to and from the city centre - the bus stop is just outside. Close to the Ocean Terminal which has a nice cinema and some lovely restaurants. If you are visiting the Brittania, check out the money-off deals at local restaurants, including the Baxters Restuarant and the Brittania Spice which is just next to the hotel and served some of the best curries we've had. Will definitely return again.

Stayed at HIE overnight on business. Great location next to Ocean Terminal. Room spacious and clean and really comfortable beds. Reception were fantastic. Just ask them if you want anything - if they haven't already offered to help! Attentive and courteous. Breakfast was self serve and all good quality. Internet access available. Highly recommend a bistro called Daniels which is about 1 mile from hotel. Fantastic food.

Stayed here for 2 nights in October with wife and daughter (19). Room was clean, tidy and warm. Beds comfy as well. Breakfast was included in tarrif There was heaps of parking available. Bus stop right outside (route 22 to town) and Ocean Terminal shopping and cinema across the road. We also walked up to the MAYA Resturant for my daughters birthday tea and it was fantastic. The service at the hotel was also exceptional. i needed to confirm a onward hotel and they printed the reservation slip etc for me and also printed the map Exceptional assistance.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Room was quiet & very clean. Excellent location next to Ocean Terminal (Shops & restaurants) and Britannia (Tourist). Bus stop at front door takes 10 mins to the center of Edinburgh. Center of Leith is 500 yards away and worth the stroll. Plenty of bars & restaurants here. Breakfast was busy and the food/choice was adequate -continental buffet style. Would stay her again - good budget Hotel. Botanical Gardens are only 1-2 miles away - well woth a visit if you prefer the quieter side of Edinburgh.

We booked this last minute and hoped for the best what with it being out of town. Apart from what we found to be VERY HARD BEDS (would have given another star if they were more comfy), it was an excellent choice! Clean, quite and extremely well located within the developing docklands. Arriving at Waverly station, we opted for the no 22 bus which drops you off right outside and at £2.30 for a day ticket, was an absolute bargain. We stayed Sat thru Sun and were delighted to find that breakfast was served until 11.30am. There are loads of good restaurants and bars nearby, a shopping centre accross the road with a great selection of shops and a number of restaurants many of which which look out over the Royal Yacht and waterfront which is lovely. With the advantage of the number 22 bus to take you back up to the centre of town, we'd certainly stay there again.
