Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Overall the hotel was good. The location was great as it was central to the airport and the city centre. Right next door to the zoo. The room was a bit dated with basic furniture, matress was too soft and not much space in the bathroom. Staff was friendly and the breakfast was good.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
The hotel is in a very good location to tour Edinburgh. The front desk staff was very helpful, even letting us change rooms when we had an issue. Breakfast was very good and the fitness center was good. We never received the complimentary bottle of wine that was mentioned on Expedia when I booked ...
