This is a dependable, modern choice with great location, comfy rooms, and solid value. It is a reliable waterfront stay with comfort and convenience. Stayed at this Holiday Inn Express in Leith and it delivered exactly what a city hotel should: clean, comfy, and well-located. The rooms were air-conditioned, with handy extras like bedside USB ports, irons, and tea/coffee making kits . Daily housekeeping and free breakfast (buffet of hot and continental options) made mornings easy . The location is a stand-out: a short walk from Royal Yacht Britannia and Ocean Terminal for a bite or shopping, plus excellent tram and bus access into the city centre. Staff were friendly and the price felt fair considering the free breakfast and decent amenities like paid parking (£10/night)

Good Location, Standard Stay The location of this hotel is excellent. As expected from the brand, it delivers the standard Holiday Inn Express experience. Breakfast is decent, though rooms are a little on the small side. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made our stay more pleasant. A direct tram to the airport stops right in front of the hotel, and the same tram runs through the main street in the city centre. Right next door, there’s a large shopping mall and a Tesco Express for any needs. The famous café street is within walking distance. The Royal Yacht Britannia — voted the UK’s best tourist attraction in 2023 — is also just a short walk away, connected to the shopping mall. Overall, a convenient base for exploring Edinburgh, especially if you value easy transport links and nearby amenities.

My wife and I closed out our Ireland-Scotland tour with a 2-day stay at the Leith Waterfront Holiday Inn Express Hotel this past week. Our room afforded us a view of the waterfront and some of the old historical waterfront properties. It was compact, but very comfortable, and well appointed. What was most memorable were the staff who went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable. Pictured below are Shaneane (front desk/reception) and Jerry (our bartender). They were both so professional, outgoing and helpful. The same could be said of the kitchen & housekeeping staff. We recommend the Leith Holiday Inn Express for anyone looking warm hospitality, comfortable accommodations at affordable rates.

Old building and rooms. Lifts are worn out. There is no telephone in the room to call the reception. Breakfast time was super busy, and the items emptied out fast. They could've prepared better with how many guests they were expecting. There weren't a lot of options either, especially if you're vegetarian or vegan. They didn't provide bottled water, which is standard practice in most hotels. Staff was polite and friendly, but that is a trivial factor to consider when choosing a hotel. With the rate of standard room, I would expect better service and quality of the stay. Do not recommend staying here.

Disappointing Experience – Not What We Expected from Holiday Inn ( Had no option of 0 star so had to give 1 star) We’ve stayed at many Holiday Inn hotels in the past and have always appreciated the consistency and service. Unfortunately, our experience at the Holiday Inn Edinburgh did not meet those expectations. At around 10:30 PM, the power in our room went out. The staff couldn’t fix the issue, and we were moved to a significantly smaller room with poor arrangements and an uncomfortable split AC unit. When we raised our concerns with the manager, rather than handling the matter with professionalism, he became defensive. Due to a headache, I asked to continue the conversation outside the room, but this was later misrepresented. The next morning, we were informed that the manager had described us as rude and were told we could check out without being charged, as the hotel felt it couldn’t meet our expectations. This response was unexpected and disappointing. It’s reasonable to expect basic amenities to function and for hotel staff—especially management—to handle guest concerns with respect and professionalism. Based on this experience, I believe the management team here would benefit from better training in customer service and communication. We hope our feedback is taken seriously to help prevent similar situations for other guests.
