Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is a great location for touring Edinburgh. If you have a car the parking is easy. There is also a public bus stop right outside the hotel. Our family stayed for three nights. We just parked the car for the whole time and then caught the #26 bus to Prince Street which from there it was easy to walk around and catch a hop on/off bus. We did the City Sight Seeing Bus and used the Green/Blue/Red Routes to get everywhere we needed to be. The breakfast was great. I would recommend waiting to pay for it there as there are two different choices of hot or cold continental. Great for families. "
