Just like a Holiday Inn close to a city.
As good as big, impersonal, city centre chain hotels normally are. The building is pretty dated on the outside, but fine on the inside. Staff are friendly, it's very convenient for the city (by bus) and parking wasn't an issue.

Holiday Inn Edinburgh review
A short weekend break. Stayed 2 night. Staff were good, restaurant staff excellent. Breakfast was usual high standard.
Pool too small and misleading to say its a spa .. no spa treatments, only independent masseuse, who was not on premises during our stay.

Overnight stay
Stayed for one night at busy Xmas period.
Had a twin room and it was really spacious and comfy.
Went to the pool and spa area but it was far too busy( don’t know if that was the time we went 5pm or time of year)
Breakfast in the morning was more than excellent with a wide variety on offer and they even had Haggis.
Overall it was a pleasant stay and so handy for the Zoo and buses into Edinburgh
