Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo, an IHG Hotel

The hotel has all the facilities of a large hotel with rooms well equipped & modern - they even now include a coffee machine in the room. Breakfast can get busy later on; but they restock quickly meaning you still get a full breakfast. The hotel is outside of the centre, but the bus stop is directly outside the entrance & buses turn up every few minutes to get you central within 20mins or so

The hotel has a fantastic location next to Edinburgh Zoo, and guests are entitled to half-price entry after 2 pm, which makes for an exciting visit for the kids. The staff were exceptionally lovely, friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The breakfast the hotel offers is plentiful and delicious, providing a great start to the day. The restaurant and bar area has a great view of the outskirts of Edinburgh, with hills visible in the distance, adding to a relaxing breakfast experience. The hotel is very family-friendly and goes out of its way to accommodate little ones. Although we only had dinner at the hotel once, the food was excellent, and the 'Kids eat free' offer was a nice bonus.

Excellent location between the airport and city with various bus stops just outside. The hotel itself is beautiful especially be bar/lobby area. Had breakfast there most mornings and also had lunch and dinner one day and all the food was incredible. Staff were lovely and helpful. We even had an hour in the pool one day and also played pool and foosball in the other bar area which was lovely and quiet. The rooms itself were great, maybe a little basic but more than fine for a couple nights stay. Comfy bed and always clean. I would 1000% stay here again when we next come to Scotland

The Holiday Inn Edinburgh is a good value for money hotel. The hotel itself is very nice, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, and have everything someone needs. The reception staff was kind and helpful when we needed assistance with the showers. The pool is big, and the jacuzzi is very good. A notable feature is the Starbucks inside the hotel, which adds an interesting touch. The location is also convenient, as it is next to the zoo and just 17 minutes from the centre of Edinburgh, with a bus stop right in front of the hotel providing easy access to the city. Overall, our experience was satisfactory.

Its our second stay at this hotel. Lobby and restaurant are nice as well as the bar. Rooms are in good condition and are spacious. They could use a little updating but otherwise OK. Staff was outstanding. Dhruv at reception was very polite, diligent and helpful with all our needs. More hotels should have people like him! Housekeeping was amazing as well as Sanjaya. On the day we left, about mid afternoon I noticed i had left my wedding band a t the hotel and sent them a message No later than two hours had passed and I received a call from them telling me they had it and was packed and ready to ship to wherever I arranged through a Link they sent me. Outstanding!! I cant thank them enough!
