Holiday Inn Edinburgh, Macallan

If you're looking for the Ritz, go stay at the Ritz and pay for the Ritz. I stay at hotels all the time for work and this Holiday Inn is one of the nicest Holiday Inns I have stayed at. Our room was comfortable and updated. The bathroom is small but expected for being in Europe. It was clean and completely acceptable. The lobby area is updated and welcoming. The fitness room is great with all the equipment needed for a decent workout. The breakfast is wonderful and worth the extra we paid for it. I read reviews that the restaurant food is great and that is accurate. Whoever is running that restaurant and making the food is doing a great job. The food is excellent! The pool and hot tub are ok but better than not having anything. The bus stop is right outside and takes you into town in about 20 minutes.....so convenient. A family day pass is 12£ (2 adults, 3 children). If you want a nice place to stay with good food but you don't want to pay the prices of being downtown, this is the place for you.

This hotel is definitely worth every penny! The room may look a little dated, but it’s comfortable and exactly what you’d expect for the price as it met all my needs for the trip. Special shoutout to the two staff at the front desk on 18th Nov around 8AM — I ran into an issue with my car rental and they were incredibly helpful and accommodating. Truly appreciate their assistance!

I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Hotel, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome, and the check-in process was smooth and efficient. The room was spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. One highlight of my visit was the outstanding customer service. Rachel at the front desk went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. She offered great local recommendations, handled my requests with genuine care, and made me feel like a valued guest. Her professionalism and warmth truly set the tone for the entire visit. The hotel facilities were equally impressive — the gym was modern, the breakfast buffet had plenty of variety, and the lounge area was cozy and inviting. Location-wise, it was ideal, with easy access to both public transport and nearby attractions. Overall, I would highly recommend the Holiday Hotel to anyone visiting the area. Thanks to Rachel and the rest of the team, my stay was memorable, and I’ll definitely be back
