This was our second stay at this hotel. At first glance this location might seem a little odd ( especially if you are a tourist) but the bus service to central Edinburgh is absolutely superb. Once again if you are a tourist you may be a little unsure of travelling on "public transport" but in Edinburgh it's safe, efficient and... More

We stayed here for four nights in May 2013. At first we thought it was too far out of the city centre but the bus service to and from the city is terrific. Several busses, especially the number 22 stops outside of the hotel. The Ocean Terminal mall is next door and has restaurants, shops and bus connections even for... More

Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh - Waterfront whilst on business in Edinburgh. The hotel could do with a little TLC, the furniture in the bedroom has seen better days and the bathroom was a bit shabby. The room looked out to the rear of the hotel, on the 4th floor, the window sound insulation was pretty poor and... More

The staff were a bit slow at reception, having more than one room booked seemed to cause confusion, no bother really just funny. The rooms in comparison to other holiday inn express's lack a little, no free internet, 1 iron for the whole hotel meant tracking the iron down/waiting/using which is a bit silly really. Hotel was a little trek... More

Unable to book any 'favourite hotel' , so we chose this one, 2.5 miles from the centre. We had two rooms, the double was a good size, but the twin was quite a bit smaller. Both rooms only had one chair (two would have been preferable). One of the single beds had a mattress where the springs could be felt,... More

Was travelling with a dog and were very pleased with the standard of the room we were allocated. Everything clean and tidy and a decent size. Liked the design of the shower room. Comfortable bed and choice of pillows. Reception staff very friendly and helpful when asked where any dog friendly bars were. Easy access to centre of town from... More

The hotel is right next to the Royal Yacht and a small shopping centre on the outskirts of Edinburgh, but the city centre is only a 15-20 min bus ride away on several (very regular!) buses. Rooms are the usual Holiday Inn Express size and quality, so just the basics but the beds are comfortable and it is quiet at... More

An ideal place next to Ocean Terminal close to amenities and the "Royal Yacht" The reception staff are very friendly and helpful, The room on the 4th floor was right next to the lift, and although was fairly quiet, was audible at times. Being a tall person the room felt small and so did the bed. The only way to... More

This hotel is at a great location and has excellent transport network into the city centre but lacks the detail to a superb stay. You cannot get a good mobile signal and even the public area free wifi lacks speed. Excellent buffet breakfast though! The rooms are of a standard but did not appear to be very well cleaned each...
