Two Very Happy Ladies!
The Holiday Inn Express was merely a hub for us to sleep and as this it was excellent. The room was comfortable and clean. The air conditioning unit was much appreciated. The free tea and coffee in the room was also a bonus and the staff were only too pleased to top us up when we asked. Our stay was a 3 night stay but we would of happily stayed for a week! We had single beds and they were extremely comfortable. The Staff were always on had to assist with anything we required and the phone in main reception for the local taxi firm was also a big plus for us. Although even without the Taxi it is in easy reach of the HMS Britannia which was just a 5 minute walk. And the same for the Blue tour bus route of the city. Very enjoyable stay and excellent staff. Well done Holiday Inn Leith.
