Bearing in mind that this is a review of a budget hotel, the 5 stars are well deserved. It is clean and well maintained. The team are welcoming, helpful and very efficient. Allan is a credit to the hotel industry. The location is good with nearby shops and easy walks to local pubs and restaurants. The hotel is right next to the Royal Yacht Britannia and a tram stop with trans into Edinburgh every few minutes. The room was good and WiFi was good also.

The rooms are clean and modern, well maintained and with the necessary amnesties. Spatious and luminous. The service is great, breakfast is delicious and the hotel looks really nice and friendly. Staff are very welcoming and hospitable, especially Carmen, who is a 10/10 manager. Would definitely come here again. A 20min tram ride from city centre, but easily connected. R

The location is super accessible via tram and bus. I was able to take the tram directly from the airport to the hotel in under an hour. The location is great right only ocean terminal waterfront. The hotel could definitely use some touchups and Love I think the standard of cleanliness is not where it probably should be as well as the maintenance and upkeep. However, the staff is super friendly. I skipped breakfast most days and I’m glad that I did because most of the time the food wasn’t actually hot and it’s quite limited and mass produced. Overall, you get a great value for your money. But if you want luxury, you may want to choose a different IHG location. I would certainly consider returning here, but I would be very adamant about staying on the top floor for noise purposes and I have a location closer to the elevator like I did this time. It’s quite busy and popular so expect some wait time for the elevator, especially in the morning or at checkout time.

Excellent stay from start to finish! The hotel is clean, modern, and very comfortable, making it a perfect base for exploring Edinburgh. The rooms are well-maintained with cozy beds, ensuring a great night’s sleep. Staff are friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The complimentary breakfast is a big plus, offering a good variety and fresh options to start the day. Convenient location with easy access to attractions and transport. Great value for money—highly recommended!

As a long standing clumb member of IHG Hotels since 2017, didn't look any further for our Edinburgh/Scotland's highlands trip so booked using member points for 2 nights. As usual the hotel room was great, pretty neat and clean. However on our Day 1, the food offered for the breakfast( Hash browns, Baked beans etc..,) was quite cold although we were there for the Breakfast at 6:50AM which quite surprised us as it's not a standard for Holiday Inn hotel. Staff offered a portable heater as the main one didn't work so big shoutout for arranging it quite quickly. Nevertheless, overall it was a good stay and I do hope to come back again.
