You will be paying a high price just for the location of the hotel not the standard of room or food

Lovely room, nice n clean, happy staff (yassou Olympia!) Nice view if you're at the front of the hotel. Great for the zoo, i expect the busses would be fine from Corstorphine rd if you googled the timetables. Not wonderfully cheap, but for a good room quite ok (this is edinburgh after all!). The wee guesthouse room i booked previously was only £15 less

Hotel Holiday Inn is a big hotel building but more or less worn out. Pool area has some restictions I would have wanted to know before booking (sauna and jacuzzi is for adults only etc). Breakfast is good and there are plenty of choises. Local bus traffic is brilliant and cheap for tourists also.
