Air-conditioning and blackout blinds are included. Conveniently placed outlets and a selection of pillows, as well as a quiet place, ensure a good night's sleep. All bedrooms offer views of the city or the Pentland Hills.

Dining

Guests can dig into free Express Start Breakfast full of favorites, with a selection of hot and cold items like bacon, scrambled egg, sausages, toast, and pastries. Guests can order a crisp pint, a glass of wine, gin, and tonic, or something softer from the vast menu of beers, wines, spirits or soft drinks to enjoy in the garden's seating area. Grab & go bags are available if guests are in a hurry.

Leisure

Summerhall is a venue that is home to art galleries and theater performances. The Royal Botanic Gardens features 29 hectares of beautiful scenery. Guests can visit Victoria Street. The Edinburgh Zoo allows you to see the UK's only captive Pandas. Sports fans can catch a rugby match at the Murrayfield Stadium, which is a 5-minute drive. Culture enthusiasts can enjoy the world-renowned Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which takes place annually in August and features hundreds of shows and events across the city. Catch a show at Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre, which opened in 1929 and is one of the largest theaters in the UK. Guests can take a one-hour guided tour of Mary King's Close, an underground Edinburgh attraction beneath the Royal Mile.

Location

Located in Brussel District, the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West provides an excellent base for exploring the famous city of Edinburgh, located 3 km from Edinburgh's bustling city center and 3 km from Edinburgh Castle. The recently opened St James Quarter is nearby. Edinburgh Waverley Station - in the heart of the city centre - is a 15-minute drive away for catching trains to Glasgow and Newcastle.

Amenities

Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi, a garden to enjoy drinks, and breakfast included in every stay. Following the lite signs in the car park will lead guests along the footpath to the restaurant-signposted reception. The castle houses the Crown Jewels, The Stone of Scone-a symbol of Scotland's monarchy since ancient times-and the National War Museum of Scotland.

“The property strikes me as a practical choice for families exploring Edinburgh, with perks like free breakfast and an on-site playground; proximity to bus lines also makes getting around simple. Rooms appear modern after recent renovations, and pet-friendly policies are a welcome touch for some, though I noticed mentions of some inconsistencies in room upkeep and service. Overall, I think it balances convenience with value for those prioritizing location and family-friendly features.”

fantastic stay!

convenient location city view tasty food
The location is so convenient. A quick 23-minute bus ride gets you right into town! my quiet twin room on the 4th floor had a big window, i loved the city view. the in-house restaurant is a lifesaver with quick food options. I really enjoyed the tasty thai green curry rice!
the thermostat was locked at 18°c, so it was a bit chilly!
