Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG

4/10 Poor
"Rooms weren’t cleaned properly, floor was full of crumbs, all our furniture in the room was dirty and scribbled with a permanent marker. Room was super noisy and we kept hearing doors banging overnight, hallway carpets and other room doors were poorly maintained, Definitely not worth the money. Can’t say much about amenities since we didn’t used any. Staff was friendly and attentive."
