Choose your room

Budget hotel by the water. With the tram on the doorstep, you can be in the city centre in less than 15 minutes.

Information shared by the accommodation:

Holiday Inn Express Edinburgh – Leith Waterfront is situated on the edge of the city in the trendy Leith harbour area, also known as The Shore. Edinburgh Waverley station is easily accessible, and Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is just 25 minutes away. Trams to the city centre stop right across from the hotel. On-site parking is available for £10 per night, but spaces are limited. Take a short walk to the Royal Yacht Britannia, the former royal yacht of Queen Elizabeth II. Explore Scotland's history at the iconic Edinburgh Castle, then stroll through the Old Town’s cobbled streets to see the Scott Monument and the National Museum of Scotland. Attend live debates at the Scottish Parliament or visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the King in Edinburgh. Ocean Terminal shopping centre is nearby, and Princes Street and St James Quarter offer a mix of high-street and luxury shopping. For a premium shopping experience, head to Multrees Walk, home to Harvey Nichols. For entertainment, catch a comedy or theatre show at the Edinburgh Playhouse, just two miles away. After a day of exploring, unwind in your room with a flat-screen TV and en-suite shower. Start your day with a complimentary buffet breakfast, and throughout the day, enjoy light snacks, coffees, and pizzas from our menu. Relax with drinks from the bar in our Great Room and stay connected with free Wi-Fi.
