Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
A great location, with Edinburgh Zoo to the rear and expansive views to the Pentland Hills in front. Parking was a breeze and good public transport into the centre - not far away. Indoors thoughtfully updated. The staff were skilled - professional, courteous and very friendly. We took a Compact room ...

Did not have breakfast. Other meals were first class. Our room was clean and well equipped. A nice view and balcony but could not access balcony for safety reasons. All staff were fabulous

Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Room very good for one or two nights. Smallish but spotless. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was haphazard, out of control. Tables left uncleared. Buffet food not topped up. In the end, we didn't bother and went for a McDs instead!!!

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
Room was clean, could do with some updating such as the bathroom. Breakfast was nice but service could be even better. There could also be better amenities and toiletries, those looked old or reused.
