Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City Centre, an IHG Hotel Picardy Place, Edinburgh EH1 3JT

"Really nice room and clean. Front office was providing friendly services, informative. Hotel and rooms were looking good and new. Shower was perfect. Internet broadband was perfect, very fast connection. Breakfast on 2nd floor was also good with various selection of tea. There's a bar on the lobby floor. From the outside, this hotel looks old - well just like the city - but modern once we get inside. Just across Saint James Quarter, nice shopping mall in the city and walking distance to Princes Street and Edinburgh Waverly station."

"The Hotel Location was spot on... every attraction is walkable. There are numerous restaurants situated around the Hotel that was a very big plus. The hotel is an historic building and the rooms are well laid out. Features are excellent. Reception and Lobby is vastly spread out and excellent breakfast is served every day. I would like to specifically Thank Mr.Gordon Gibson for going above and beyond the expectations and proactively solving our issues even two months after our stay. Highly recommend the property and its employees."

"Nice hotel very clean, rooms are spotless and big. We were in 421 and 419 nice view and very quiet. Same as other HI express hotels, but has everything you need. Good breakfast not vast but enough, fresh and plentiful. Staff all excellent nothing was a bother to them. Prices in the bar not cheap for what we bought but it was nice and peaceful so happy to use it. We were able to keep our bags in the bag store before we got into our rooms and after we checked out very handy. For a city centre hotel the price wasn't too bad. Good location and even better if you are at the playhouse. The only concerns I had was anyone could walk in at anytime and go to any floor without confrontation. For a busy area like this I would think hotel keys should be used to get past reception area. Plus they didn't check our tickets matched the bags we removed from the bag stores. But its a great central hotel with very helpful staff I would recommend and definately stay again."

"The hotel on Picardy Place is well located for a few days in Edinburgh. Be aware that in front of the hotel, the extension of the tram line is ongoing. The rooms are absolutely adequate and surprisingly quiet at night! Breakfast is the same every morning but the choice is reasonable. The staff are mostly friendly and helpful. The room price is hefty but Edinburgh is a city popular with tourists - so bite your tongue and pay!"

"We loved this place! It was within walking distance of a lot of Edinburgh's main attractions. The rooms were a little small, but we didn't mind. The service was excellent and the breakfast was delicious. We wanted to make a special shout-out to the front desk worker, Arianna. We didn't realize the rooms wouldn't have a microwave, so she went above and beyond to make our dinner for us in the back kitchen and gave us an extra complimentary drink because only my husband got one. She was great! She provided such great guest service and it meant a lot. Thank you, Arianna!"
