Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo by IHG

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the food and staff were great. The only complaint was the bathroom. For an executive room, the bathroom was small and cramped, the sink didn’t drain well and the door looked like it just had the bottom sawn off it! The bed was fine, it was hard but I don’t mind a firm bed, the pillows were hard and uncomfortable so woke up with a sore neck! Great location for the Zoo and other local amenities."
