Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh Airport by IHG

Room was clean.

This hotel left a bad taste in my mouth, both literally and figuratively. For an extra £30–50, I'd strongly recommend staying at the Moxy or another nearby hotel instead. Airport hotels are always overpriced, but at this price you'd at least expect to feel somewhat positive about the start or end of your holiday. Unfortunately, the hotel is in a rather depressing location. It's also not as close to the Number 100 bus stop. While a 15-minute walk may not sound too bad, the pavements are in poor condition for rolling luggage and a pram, and the route is lined with litter left by waiting Uber drivers. Thank goodness we arrived in the light, I imagine it would scary to travel down the streets in the dark. Our room was reasonably clean, but there was a constant smell of greasy fried food drifting in from the kitchen vents. The restaurant was equally disappointing: an evening meal costing around £20 was comparable in both size and quality to a school dinner. Breakfast was no better. The bread rolls were dry and cardboard-like, and the fruit had only just been thawed. And seriously, the hotel couldn't sign an agreement with the shuttle company to provide guests a free shuttle? Utter greed- somehow handing over an extra 3 quid for this seemed very painful. Yes, airport hotels are a rip-off, but a good one can feel like a small holiday treat before take-off. Overall, the experience felt poor value for money and I would rather pay more to feel a bit happier than try and save some money staying slightly further away from the main bus route. The sad thing is, this hotel will likely be full no matter the review.

We had to leave for an early flight so it was a basic continental breakfast for us.

room nice and tidy

hotel close to airport but not walking distance with luggage restaurant and bar not the best

Helpful and cheerful staff. Bus to hired car drop off and terminal every 15 minutes from 4 am. Petrol station nearby to fill up before dropping car.

Signage to hotel. It was hard to find even with GPS.

Das man Airport Hotel mit großem Parkplatz extrem teuer für das Parken zahlen muss.

Sehr freundliches Personal, Tee und Kaffee auf dem Zimmer, sehr frühes Frühstück möglich, Shuttle-Bus zum Flughafen 24Std

Close to airport. Very clean. Helpful staff particularly around getting to the airport via the bus shuttle.

A long walk from the bus stop - better to catch the shuttle bus from the airport than get off at the airport hotels bus stop if coming from Edinburgh. I don’t like the extra cushions on the bed. The tap faucet in the bathroom sink was too close to the back edge making it difficult to wash hands.

All good. Close to airport

Nothing.
