Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff were fab checking in even after our delayed flight. ABIT of confusion through our booking meant it was 2 single beds and no cot ( same as before we departed there was no cot set up even tho on booking and we had mentioned to staff again before we left about red for a cot). Staff really helpful advising on shuttle bus , had already started our check-in when we arrived and really friendly ladies getting milk for our baby ( airport security had lost ours during checks). Only downside was when we went to use sofa bed it was broken and I cut myself on it ( my fault for not looking properly to see how it was broken before opening ). We ended up using the mattress from it for our wee one but we realised that it had been stuffed back into sofa bed and was absolutely filthy with urine stains and darker what we thing was coffee stains on the other side (it had clearly been flipped to hide it). The staff at the front desk were really helpful after we mentioned it as it was a clear hygiene issue . Breakfast was disappointing. We understand busy airport hotel but lots of things empty e.g bacon , sausages, no pastries , small muffins were brick hard , they were getting refilled but small amounts so we're emptying by the time we went to get some. We had stayed before flying out and we have stayed there several times before but it's sad to see a decline in service and hygiene when the staff are very helpful and lovely. Some things definately to work on facility wise .

Friendly staff, clean rooms, has transportation to the Airport daily. Only downside is being an hour away from the city so you have to plan your transportation out. Upside is being super close to the airport and price was decent.

Comfortable for short stays
I asked and was given a downstairs room as I have a disability which I appreciated. However I doubt there were enough staff as there was a lot of doubling up, eg, reception staff had to help with my luggage plus serve in the bar which meant a delay most times.

Holiday inn express, Edinburgh Airport.
Enjoyed one night stay here - catching an early flight next day. There’s a restaurant but not sure I’d eat there again. Stay included breakfast - but that was disappointing. Although it’s served from 4 am theirs is no hot food til later on. Plenty of tea/coffee and lots if cold meat, cheese, cereals etc. the main issue I felt was the location of the shuttle bus. I was Informed it was right outside the arrivals hall (bus stop H) but this is not the case. There’s a notice stuck on the glass of the bus shelter which states that the shuttle bus now leaves from bus stop 10. For me the walk is not an issue but for others it’s a good walk. Near to the tram stop - if you know Edinburgh Airport at all. The shuttle runs regularly 24/7. Friendly driver. It costs £2.50 return. So price is fine. Although nearby I would not recommend walking to the Hotel. The shuttle bus serves an airport car park too, it all runs very efficiently, but factor it into your times for getting to the airport. Great service the shuttle - plenty of room on it.
