Holiday Inn Express Dunfermline

Affordable, Modern Base Just Outside Edinburgh

Modern and hassle-free, the Holiday Inn Express Dunfermline is a great-value hotel located just off the M90, making it a super convenient spot for concert-goers heading into Edinburgh or nearby venues. With free WiFi, complimentary parking, and comfortable rooms, it's a solid choice for travelers looking to stay just outside the city buzz without sacrificing access.
You're only about 25 minutes from Edinburgh Airport, and the city center is about 16 miles away – close enough for a night out, but far enough for some post-show peace and quiet.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is all about easy access. Sitting just off junction 3 of the M90, it's ideal if you're driving to gigs or heading to events in Edinburgh, Dunfermline, or even Knockhill Racing Circuit. Late-night returns are simple with 24/7 front desk service and free open-air parking. Though the hotel itself is in a quieter area, it's perfect for winding down after a loud night – no thumping bass or city noise to keep you up.

• Complimentary breakfast is available – perfect for catching up after a late night
• Vending machines and nearby eateries offer quick bites
• No full-service restaurant or bar on-site, but several casual dining options are a short drive away

What People Say

Guests praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent location for getting to and from events. The free parking and reliable WiFi are also big hits. Many reviewers specifically mention the ease of traveling to Edinburgh for shows, plus the quiet surroundings that help with a good night’s sleep.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel delivers great value, some concert-goers might miss having an on-site bar or restaurant to keep the party going post-show. And if you’re relying solely on public transport, options can be limited late at night – a car makes things easier.

The Bottom Line

For a comfortable, affordable stay with easy access to Edinburgh’s concert venues and a quiet place to crash afterward, Holiday Inn Express Dunfermline hits the right notes.
