Holiday Inn

This was a standard Holiday Inn, I’d recommend if you get a choice of rooms to get one with a view of the hills, the alternative is a rather dreary view of the car park behind.
Our bed was comfy and the option of a pillow menu was a novelty. The hotel appears to have been newly renovated, however, there are still a few problems with plumbing, our toilet made a very strange noise about 30 seconds after flushing, and the shower curtains were inadequate at keeping water inside the bath, most mornings we had to put a towel down afterwards to mop up.
There was a disturbing incident that happened to another member of our party on the Saturday night when someone came into the room in the middle of the night; they had a key for the room. The hotel took this very seriously and looked into it, but I’d suggest if you stay here that you put the safety lock on the door before you go to sleep.
The breakfast was really nice and although our package was only for a continental breakfast we were allowed to choose from the entire menu so could have the full English if we liked at no extra cost.
The gym was free, which was a nice perk, although the machines were a little dated. The Zoo is also right next door and you get a discount if you say you stay at the hotel, this was a fun way to spend a few hours.
All in all this was an ok place to stay, it was only a 15 minute bus ride from the airport, and the same again into the centre of town, and with fares at only £1 a trip it’s the best way to get around. I would maybe prefer to stay somewhere in the centre of Edinburgh if I were to go again, but I wouldn't rule out this hotel.
