Great location, near ESF, John Lewis (love that store) plenty of restaurants, Old and New Town, Bus Terminal and Edinburgh Waverly. Great spread for breakfast, staff helpful, beds and room clean. Good prices. This is an older hotel so some amenities it doesn’t have are a room fridge or safe but the staff accommodates if you need food stored for an early tour etc. It really could use new carpets but all in all I feel safe and comfortable here. It’s getting to be my home away from home. ##### June Stayed 9 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Sep 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Holiday Inn is very conveniently located at the Picardy Place Tram Stop and several bus stops.
