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.

Fabulous city break at holiday...

Liked: Great Hotel for the price. All of the staff we spoke to were really lovely - it was only 10 to 15 minutes into the centre of Edinburgh on the bus which stops right outside the hotel. Lovely breakfast with plenty of things to choose from. exceptional view across the whole of Edinburgh city from our floor (4th). Rooms clean and tidy with all the amenities needed.
Disliked: Nothing to say here

Good location. Rooms need improvement

Liked: Location is good. 43 Lothian bus will take you to Princes Street pretty quickly.Breakfast is reasonable. Beds are comfortable
Disliked: Our room smelled of cigarettes. We tried airing it and left the windows open and nothing changed the stench. Our teenage children were in a conjoining room to ours, and their's smelled fine. The rooms are so warm. The air con wasn't working in either of our rooms, and while there was a small fan provided in each, it simply wasn't enough. It made for an uncomfortable night of sleep.

Overall pleasant stay, but need...

Liked: Calm and peaceful location. Reachability and commute to hotel is easy and all the main tourist attractions are nearby
Disliked: Not happy with the service I.e not worth for the money I have paid and when compare to other Holiday inn hotel in other countries. No en-suite washroom was available even when I have booked the same. Toiletries like moisturiser, toothpaste, brush was not present in the bathroom ( even calling at the receptionist they are not willing to provide one)
