Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo, an IHG Hotel

Nice and friendly staff, very good location between the airport and the city, also a very large dining area with professional service. Never experienced before to be seated on breakfast with explanation and everything in this kind of class of hotel. Also what I liked was that sounds of apes and lions from zoo, and that we saw the apes also from our window in the morning.

Hotel is an in good location a few miles away from the city centre, located next to the zoo, it offered us a good price that offest the distance to the city centre. We opted for Uber for the duration of the break however, there are plenty of bus routes that stop right outside the hotel as they all service the zoo. The rooms are very standard as you would expect but the bed was big enough for two with comfortable pillows. We dined in the hotel twice during our stay and the food was great with no complaints. The bar staff were all excellent and attentive. We also used the pool/sauna during the stay and enjoyed it very much.

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

Nice clean room and hotel. The staff was very helpful, cool bar. There was a number of facilities (spa/pool?) but we haven't got to trying any of them. Great breakfast. Quite cheap for 3 people. Zoo next door.

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.
