Ibis

Spacious clean tidy rooms and very reasonably priced. There are bars, shops and resteraunts right on the door stop. Sightseeing buses and tours etc can be found just 1 minute round the corner onto the Royal Mile. It is in a prime central location which is easy to get to from the train or airport by bus or taxi. It gets a bit noisy on the front facing rooms at night time so if you are looking for a quieter room it would probably be recommended to request this when you are booking.

Stayed the night while touring Edinburg, this Ibis is located in Hunters Square along the Royal Mile, making it easy to see and do everything. Lots of places to choose from to eat and drink and shop near the hotel. The hotel is dog friendly too.
The room I had was nice, but on the small side, it had a full size bed, a bench, table top, a small closet to hang your belongings, an electric tea pot to boil water for tea or even instant coffee, and if you didn’t find enough to eat, they offer 24 hour room service too. The bathroom had everything you needed, just it was on the smaller size too.
The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly, even helped me out when asked for directions. Would mind staying again if ever back in Edinburg.

Stopped off on our way to London. Edinburgh is amazing and the ibis is a nice departure from the hotels we’ve experienced in Europe. This one is located in hunters square in the royal mile, so it centrally located in all the action. There is a university a couple blocks away, so there is no short of places to eat and drink around the area.
The room was fairly spacious for European standards. We had 2 twin beds. Nothing lavish about the beds or bedding. The room had a small tv and the bathroom was nice and clean with a nice shower with good pressure.
The staff was incredible. Above and beyond accommodating. The airline (fly BE… they suck) lost her luggage and the staff was on the phone with the airlines trying to find the bags.
They have room service available with ²⁴⁄₇ available items. We had a great history lesson from the bartender whom also suggested a great local scotch. The food is pretty good, although it was after a night of drinking so take that with a grain of salt. We sat, drank, and ate at the bar until about 4am having great conversations with the bartender. Good way to cap our first night.
The price was fair too. I want to say we paid 186 pounds for 2 weekend nights. Compared to everything else it was a steal

I decided to stay at the Ibis because I recently stayed at the Ibis in Belfast and it was pretty good.
I asked if they offered wifi, they said there is a «paid service.» I thought that was weird because the other place was free and most chains offer the same thing. Anyways, checked into the room and it was decent, really old looking, an old box TV from the early 90“s. I looked at the wifi flyer and it ended up costing £15 for 24 hours making the total for the room more than intended.
When I was there the weather was freezing, in fact below freezing. Went to take a hot shower and the water was warm, just warm not really that warm but just over cold. I asked the front desk if they could do anything and they said no.
Anyways, this place wasn’t a roach motel or anything but next time I will be staying elsewhere!

Stayed here early December since I was going to a friend’s wedding in the city and it was really a good stay. The price was very reasonable compared to the rest of the city. What more could you want — good price, friendly international staff and a great location.
We didn’t bother with the breakfast though since it was 7.50 pounds which, I thought, was a bit pricey for what I was told was a continental breakfast.

Oh man. Where to start with IBIS? The bed was SO uncomfortable. it was really awful to walk around all day and then come back here and not be able to relax because of the uncomfortable bed and room. The hallways reeked of some horrible carpet freshener. It was so strong it made us feel slightly ill. Husband jokingly referred to it as «the smell of Edinburgh» but fortunately that was not the case. I think the one thing this place has going for it is location. The staff was really nice too, which helped. I filled out a survey about my stay and they offered us a free stay next time we are in Edinburgh but I don’t know when that will be. I would stay for free but probably would not pay again unless there was absolutely no other hotel available.

First, the price and excellent location of this hotel makes staying here more justified. We visited in October 2010 for three nights. Never being to Edinburgh before hotel rooms can range from $ 100-​$ 600. We were thrilled by the location in Old Town. We were not familiar with the Ibis Hotel brand… just know there are no amenities provided, one thin old towel per guest, and you must visit the «ironing room» on the 2^nd floor. There is a Boots about a block away and you can go and buy soap, shampoo, etc. This town is noisy in the early hour of the morning… to no fault of this hotel. Just know you are getting a very basic hotel experience.

Yes it’s fine. Location is brilliant, rooms are dull, prices are alright (except for the festival when it gets hiked up to almost embarrassing levels). It’s an Ibis hotel. What else can you say?
If I was coming to Edinburgh September-​July and didn’t care about where I lay my head (and didn’t fancy one of the hundreds of youth hostels) I’d probably go for this, it’s in the middle of every tourist sight in Edinburgh.

Very good hotel for the budget and above average traveller. Very much on the royal mile. Parking is a problem.
Room service was bad but the food was good.
Rooms were top notch for the price. I got a room for 49 pounds a night which I thought was a steal for the comforts the room had.

The hotel kind of reminded me of an upgraded hostel, but not in a bad way necessarily. I noticed that the majority of people staying in the hotel were tourists. The lobby is tiny, with a small bar on the right when you walk in, and two desks available for check in. The people working at reception are helpful, and suggested restaurants nearby when we asked for where we could get a good meal.
The rooms are standard, ours had two doubles, with a shower in the bathroom and a flat screen tv. There wasn’t anything particularly special about the room, just simple and clean, which was a relief. For the $ 120/​night price, however, I was hoping Ibis would’ve been a bit more fancy. But it has a great location in Hunter Square, being a short walk from Princes St. and High St. and there’s a continental breakfast offered for 5 pounds/​person (worth it!).
