We were travelling from Edinburgh Airport so booked this hotel for the night before our early start. Stayed here 5 years ago as a couple but this time we were a family of three! Room just right. We had a travel cot added. …

AVOID AT ALL COSTSIt used to be a good hotel but I’ve just been told on the phone that they have new management which is the reason for their arse up this week.My mum and step dad have stayed in this hotel many times and I’ve called over the phone to make a payment many times before.Now they’ve employed a bunch of balloons who will refuse to take payment on the phone but instead to get you to fill out a form, which by the way you can’t fill out on a phone, send back to them and ironically it says on the form they will call you back for your card details!Anyway, they won’t call you back nor do they reply to your email either. They won’t accept the card details on the phone and the payment wasn’t taken.So then they told my mum today that she needed to pay the bill which was pretty stressful. I’ve spent today trying to ring them over a Sunday lunchtime to find out what is going on, but nobody picks the phone up.So then I get an email from Douglas tonight to say that the card details they have on file are incorrect and they’ve completely ignored my last three emails I’ve sent since Thursday with the updated card details.My card details are also valid on my IHG account which I have used many times before and most IHG hotels have quite happily used.This hotel demonstrates absolute incompetence at the lowest level, unnecessary stress that could have been avoided on Thursday, a lot of money wasted sitting on hold trying to get through today and my mum said the service has gone really downhill.Do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else.Edit- to add insult to injury the fire alarm went off at 1am and they didn’t even do a head count. 😲

Great location if you get the bus, However if you walk its 15 minutes and i certainly wouldn't do it in inclement weather.Rooms are good, staff are fantastic but the food should be avoided. It isnt the staff who are fault just the nature of the business/hotel. We had burgers and they felt like aged dried nomads flip flops. At £36 for both including 2 soft drinks value for money isn't something i would attach to this. We had an early morning flight so missed breakfast but the sleep was good and peaceful.

Our stay was one of the best during our 2 week trip to Scotland. Rooms were very clean and well maintained, nice beds and pillows, kettle with tea/coffee.|Breakfast was good for an airport hotel stay.|Shuttle is offered at 2.50 per person, usually airport shuttles are free but we knew this before arrival so not a surprise.

We had an amazing experience at Holiday Express, and I want to commend the team for their outstanding service - especially Bea. ||We arrived in the early hours of the morning, exhausted after a long flight. …

Used this hotel as part of a park and go deal through Holiday Extras and it all went very smoothly. We left our car in the carpark and checked in (we also paid for the parking using a touch screen in reception). The deal included breakfast the next morning and an “on demand”bus to the airport terminal. All went very smoothly. The hotel itself was clean, quiet and comfortable, which is all you really ask of an airport hotel. Breakfast was fine too- you can get continental from 0430 and cooked from 0800. Friendly, helpful reception staff too. Deserves 5 stars.

My sister and I had a great night's sleep at this comfortable, clean, welcoming and helpful hotel. We only heard one plane and it was not super loud. The shuttle service for our early morning flight was very welcome as was the breakfast. We would certainly stay here again!

Usually stay at other Edinburgh Airport Hotels but decided to give this a go... big mistake. The staff are wonderful, engaging, friendly and caring. The food in the restaurant was fair and okay value. …

Nice clean hotel. We stayed night before early morning flight. Staff were ok. Meal at the hotel cost a LOT. Food was good but just basic pub grub at gourmet prices! Drinks also expensive but once you’re there they have you! …

We came to see Taylor swift and this was our hotel of choice. Check in was so easy, and we were able to get an early check in as we knew we would be there well before time. Parking was discounted, and the room itself was very clean - the tea and coffee area was stocked up! They had a shuttle service to get us to the tram and back at 1am. Followed by a very peaceful night sleep and a breakfast with bacon, eggs, croissants and chocolate spread. Coffee was refillable and so was water and apple/orange juice. Special shout to all the staff who were just a delight to talk to, helpful with whatever we needed and made the whole experience 10/10 ❤️
