Holiday Inn Express EDINBURGH - LEITH WATERFRONT by IHG
"We have stayed here several times before and have always been satisfied with this hotel. We stayed for two nights this time;. Good breakfast, plenty of choice. We had left 2 bath towels to be changed and used cups from our morning tea but when we returned for the second evening we only had one bath towel replaced along with a fresh hand towel and bath mat (not needed). Also the cups had not been changed or replacement tea bags provided. Mentioned it to reception when we checked out and they said we of contacted them but we didn’t get back until late having been to a family funeral and only wanted to sleep. Having said all this we will still use this hotel again."

Virgin Hotels Edinburgh
"Amazing hotel in a prime location with great castle view"
New Town Hotel
"A terrible stay. The room had just been renovated and the furniture had a strong paint smell. There was still feces residue from a previous guest in the toilet. The WiFi was unusable all night. The room was poorly soundproofed, and there was almost no hot water in the shower. They refused to negotiate an early check-out, citing that the hotel staff were not working. The reception staff were polite but helpless regarding the hotel's facilities."
