“From what I gathered, Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West sits a bit outside the city center, however, public transport is right outside the door, and the hotel provides a satisfying complimentary breakfast, appreciated by many. I noted the newly renovated rooms come with blackout blinds and family-friendly perks like sofa beds. A solid choice for those who want value and proximity to Edinburgh's attractions.”
