Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Great hotel, exactly what we needed as a family of 3. Good selection of food for our 3 year old at the restaurant. Great location for visiting the zoo next door and easy access to the buses (bud stop straight outside hotel)

Moxy Edinburgh Airport
Great room, clean and perfect location for the airport. Most staff lovely but a couple seemed really put out with our being there. Bar area and food are fine but super busy and not enough staff. Overall great and would stay again, just wish they had happier staff!

Garner Edinburgh Haymarket by IHG
As a young, female solo traveler, this hotel was perfect. Good location for the bus and proximity to the city center. The staff was very friendly and at the desk 24/7. And the room and amenities are good for the price.
