Holiday Inn Edinburgh by IHG
Room was clean with everything you need, food there wasn't a great choice and sadly breakfast hot food was a bit cold. Pool is great but changing rooms are icy cold! Some staff went above and beyond to be helpful others couldn't care less.

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel
Great location. The stay was overall good. The main issue was the bathroom which did not have a fan or window so very humid and there was mold on wall and on grout so unpleasant to be in that room.

CODE - The Court, Edinburgh
Incredible location, five minute walk from the train station (though uphill) and right in Old Town. Place is clean and stylish, and the jail cell rooms are charming. Laundry was a plus.
