What guests think
At Holiday Inn Express Glenrothes by IHG, travellers consistently praise the friendly, accommodating staff and generally clean, comfortable rooms, while noting a convenient, quiet location with ample parking but limited facilities such as no lift and no on site restaurant.
Breakfast is frequently rated good, though some guests find it basic or inconsistent, and a number report dated bathrooms, intermittent shower or toilet issues, thin walls, and occasional disturbances from other guests. Room comfort varies, with some small family rooms, uncomfortable sofa beds, patchy Wi-Fi, and no air conditioning noted during hot weather. Overall, expect a straightforward, good-value stay with standout service and a simple setup.

We booked a 3 night stay as a base for a trip up to see friends and go to a gig in Edinburgh. Good road access, however, only 3 disabled spaces, which could be better, especially at peak times and much of the remaining car park is on an angle except the disabled bays and beyond. If you have mobility issues, first floor rooms are accessed by stairs, no lift so be aware! Reception staff were helpful and friendly, Lee was especially helpful with some great travel and parking hints for us to access the gig better. Breakfast was basic hot & cold offerings with limited options but acceptable. Only one hot drinks machine was an issue with waiting, ran out of coffee beans quickly which staff addressed immediately. No flow to the breakfast system meant that people were crowded in areas near drinks machines and toaster. Again, staff were excellent and hard working. Room was clean and comfortable, relatively quiet area. Our shower bracket fell off the tiles when I carefully moved it to direct the head where needed. The clip had rusted. Reported it to staff who apologised for not being able to address the issue until Monday, which was not a problem and did not affect the shower or usage. I would use the hotel again.

I was in town doing some genealogy research. This hotel was a great location for accessing the different highways and a local shopping area. It is right next door to an excellent restaurant. The staff were super from the ladies who helped with breakfast, the front desk personnel who helped me find places to purchase items, and housekeeping who kept things clean.

There were also food-to-go options if you are in a hurry and don't have enough time to seat down and have your breakfast. The room and bathroom were spotlessly clean.

Shower was broke, cheap fixtures. Way over priced. Have stayed at many hotels in Scotland and this was the worse one. Would not go back or recommend.

The super king size bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The help yourself breakfast was well stocked even towards the end of the allotted breakfast period. I have seen complaints about noisy doors and can understand why!! The way the door locking mechanism works, makes it difficult for occupants to leave their rooms quietly. Overall, it was a pleasant two night stay and I would be happy to use the hotel again in the future.

Sofa bed for the kids was very uncomfortable and took away a lot of space in the room (desk was unusable due to this). Breakfast was very good. Lovely pub next door.

We had to leave the hotel very early to catch our flight home. The staff were so accommodating and sweet, as the man working allowed us to get our break-fast earlier than when the buffet started. It was so nice for us to have break-fast before heading out. Really impressed by that. Also, we enjoyed the nearby park that you could walk to by a trail - it was a nice walk and a nice park to visit.

Only to find my belongings at reception that evening as I had been removed from the room. On presentation of booking confirmation I was given another room which amazingly enough had different TV channels as I was at the other end of the corridor. Impressive if it wasn’t infuriating.

Such a shame as what started out to be a great stay - lovely room etc to be absolutely spoiled by the dreadful breakfast experience- we were NOT late for breakfast but we were met with a horror look from the waitress on duty who told us that she had been “ absolutely rammed “ and that there was not a lot left but did we want her to cook anything else? Obviously because of her attitude we declined and then to top it all a member of staff then came up and collected her breakfast which obviously left even less for us - no croissants either and I had to request bread for toast only to be presented with a plate if frozen slices and told “it’ll be okay once it’s toasted “ so disappointing end to our stay

I was in town doing some genealogy research. This hotel was a great location for accessing the different highways and a local shopping area. It is right next door to an excellent restaurant. The staff were super from the ladies who helped with breakfast, the front desk personnel who helped me find places to purchase items, and housekeeping who kept things clean.

I can’t fault this hotel. Bed was super comfy. Breakfast was yummy, fresh & hot. Staff were all friendly. Plenty of car parking. Room was clean & bathroom was spotless. The shower head was very clean. Great location for Glenrothes.

Nice quiet area but it is about 45 minutes from Edinburgh and about the distance to the Edinburgh airport.

Staff could not have been more friendly. They helped me with every request. Breakfast was GREAT! Hotel is centrally located in Fife and it made the best "Home base" during my time in Fife. I will be back to this hotel. Price was great too!

Good IHG Express hotel, pleasent surroundings and close by to all ammenities. Typical pre cooked buffet breakfast, warm fresh and welcoming. Standard room with large double bed and large sofa bed already made up as a late arrival. Easy car parking and safe, overall nice weekend stop over.

It’s in a great area and felt safe with dining opportunities nearby. The staff was excellent. The breakfast was not very good. The eggs and sausages were gross. The toilets don’t flush very well.

We have booked the Hotel with half board, but the Hotel told us that there is no diner in Hotel, just breakfast. We need to have a refund for the diner.

Nice, no-frills property. Typical of many Scottish properties, there was no air-conditioning or elevator, which were minor inconveniences. Breakfast was generally okay. It seemed they were short staffed for breakfast. Staff at hotel were very friendly and helpful, however.

Rooms were cleaned to a high standard. Breakfast was decent. Shower had a bit of an issue with flitting regularly between hot and cold while on the exact same setting. Staff were all friendly.

Such a shame as what started out to be a great stay - lovely room etc to be absolutely spoiled by the dreadful breakfast experience- we were NOT late for breakfast but we were met with a horror look from the waitress on duty who told us that she had been “ absolutely rammed “ and that there was not a lot left but did we want her to cook anything else? Obviously because of her attitude we declined and then to top it all a member of staff then came up and collected her breakfast which obviously left even less for us - no croissants either and I had to request bread for toast only to be presented with a plate if frozen slices and told “it’ll be okay once it’s toasted “ so disappointing end to our stay
