Loved by Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West By Ihg guests
"The hotel is only three minutes walk to the Craigleith shopping area where you can find a very big Sainsbury's, KFC, Nike Factory Store, M&S, etc."
"There is a bus stop right next to it (Craigleith Road) and another one further down the road (Craigleith Drive), which makes it easy to get around."
"The room was spacious and clean, and once we'd got the hang of the heating system it was warm."

The bus stop was very close to the hotel! The journey to Princes Street took only 10 to 15 minutes with frequent service. Our room included a spacious bathroom and it had good size. The breakfast choices provided many options.
The water temperature in the shower was hard to regulate. The socket near the mirror did not work. It made drying my hair difficult. A small heater was available, but the shelf next to the bed was broken.
