Convenient position, very well connected to public transport or, alternatively, well suited with parking spaces. Courteous staff, rich breakfast and restaurant. Large and clean bedrooms. Not far from airport or city center. Ideal for stop over or long holiday in Edinburgh, for families, groups or singles.

Holiday Inn Edinburgh Zoo was an excellent place to stay. The overall hotel was spotlessly clean and tidy, including the rooms. The restaurant was lovely as well and all staff were brilliant. Location was perfect. Zoo next door which we visited (amazing zoo) and easy access to the city centre with bus stops directly outside and every 10 minutes. Thank you Holiday Inn
