The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West

Quiet Comfort Just Minutes from Edinburgh’s Music Scene

Modern and practical, the Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West offers a peaceful retreat just 2 miles from the city centre. With easy bus access to Edinburgh’s top concert venues and a short ride from the airport, this hotel is a convenient base for music lovers. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature city or Pentland Hills views, plus free Wi-Fi and walk-in power showers for a refreshing start or end to your night.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel hits the sweet spot between quiet location and easy access to the action. With frequent buses running to the city centre and Edinburgh Waverley Station less than 2.5 miles away, getting to and from shows is a breeze. After the encore, come back to a peaceful room and enjoy the city lights or hills from your window. Late check-in from 3 PM means there’s no rush, and the reliable transport makes late-night returns stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable, reliable accommodation
  • Solo travellers chasing a bucket-list concert
  • Couples turning a gig into a weekend getaway
  • Fans who crave a quiet post-show space
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The on-site bar/lounge offers meals and drinks all day, perfect for winding down after a late show. There's also a snack menu for quick bites, and breakfast is available to fuel you after a long night out. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the dining options are convenient and satisfying.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about quiet comfort than thumping nightlife, it’s just a short ride to Edinburgh’s bars, pubs, and live music venues. Prefer a relaxed vibe? The hotel’s lounge bar is a solid spot to enjoy a drink and catch highlights on the large-screen TV.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms. Many highlight the hotel's excellent bus connections and easy parking. Reviewers also mention the beautiful views from upper-floor rooms and the value for money, especially during busy festival or concert weekends.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the location is quiet, it’s not walkable to the city’s main nightlife—so plan for a bus or cab after your show. A few reviewers mentioned that the menu is limited for late-night cravings, so consider grabbing something on your way back.

The Bottom Line

A clean, quiet, and well-connected base, Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh City West is a smart choice for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and budget-friendly rates.

Liked: All was very comfortable and staff was really good.
Disliked: The parking needs sorting out either use a machine to pay for parking or pay at reception, the code style is not very good. Also got a parking notice even though I had paid the correct money, still having problems with the company you use. You need to look into the reviews not one good one
