Beautiful views, wonderful hotel”

Really nice hotel for the price. Most amenities we’ve seen in a while, plus the views are breathtaking. We had a car, so we easily drove into the city in about 10 minutes. There’s also a grocery store right across the street. WiFi and parking were included. Breakfast was not, but they offered a good deal for guests.

Typical Holiday Inn at Edinburgh ”

Room size is bigger than average UK hotel, since the location is not near downtown. It is a typical Holiday Inn style, however there is laundry room as in USA. The reception staff is really helpful and recommended a nice laundromat with reasonable prices. I recommend the hotel because of the professional and useful services.

holiday inn edinburgh city west is located in the comfortable area that you can easily get the bus into city certre of edinburgh. besides it is near the big superstore that you can find something to eat whenever you want. due to its location that is a little bit up on the hill, you can view the beautiful city from the window in your room. the room that i stayed is very clean and well functioned. check in and out services do not take a long time. everything is good. i loved it.

Nice and big hotel”

Hotel on a large compound just outside the city

Hotel is located just outside the city, and opposite a large supermarket. It offers free parking for guests and there is no problem finding an available lot. There is a direct bus to the city from a bus stop just outside the hotel, hence it's convenient. Room is very clean and spacious and so is the toilet. We had a view of the city from our room and it was magnificent. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. There are quite many facilities/amenities available including a restaurant but we did not use those so we can't comment.

Comfortable but some distance from the city”

Clean, comfortable. Loved the ice maker at the end of the corridor. Adequate free parking.
No free wifi even in the lobby.

The cleanliness, comfort and friendly service at the front desk was what we had expected of the Holiday Inn based on our earlier stay.. However, this Edinburgh hotel lacked the warmth which had free wifi in the rooms, a bar in the lobby and lots of information about the city. We could not even get a decent map from the counter. The water pressure for the shower was disappointing. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay. The hotel had a great view of the city. The bed was comfortable and the room spacious.
