Excellent service!

The hotel was very comfortable and had a nice spa and swimming pool. However, I have to say that the staff were excellent. The level of service, care, politeness and welcome was as good as it could be.

Cool Bananas ... Cool Holiday ??

Treated ourselves to a 5 night Red Letter Holiday in Edinburgh (£600)..... it was last Christmas gift actually but took us time to get around to it. Stayed at Holiday Inn and only paid extra for Breakfasts which were good value. Everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our break. Hotel was a bit out of town but we soon found the Trams and buses....so no issues there. Reception Staff allowed us an early check in and upgraded us to Executive room with stunning views.

Wonderful Experience

It was a 5 star venue. The staff had great attention to detail and helped bring the experience to life guiding you through the courses. The afternoon tea was exceptional, the best afternoon tea I have ever had. It was also very filling. This had been a present for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience.
