Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG
"Booked this for the Zach Bryan concert as it was close, everything was as expected for just a room for the night. Only one thing I would say, the hotel put food on for returning concert guests, £9 for half a pizza is outrageous apart from that everything was as expected."

Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club
"Nice choices at breakfast but had better. I find the staff are so busy it can be difficult to catch their eye. Place is looking worn a bit with some of the chairs"

Leonardo Royal Hotel Edinburgh
"Too expensive for the amenities. Staff is very friendly and accommodating, but in general the hotel lacks on food quality in the breakfast and some items missing in the room like robes and slippers. I was expecting a lot more for the cost. The location, however, is amazing."
