5 nights at the ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge – Royal Mile

The rooms are fine, although bits could do with a bit of a refresh. Extremely comfortable bed, and the rooms were VERY quiet considering the central location. Nice comfortable bar/restaurant for lounging in. Apart from the location, the best thing about this place is the reception team. I have never seen such a friendly, helpful bunch in a hotel every. Whatever they're being paid is probably not enough. Would come here again happily.

It was our first time in Edinburgh and we thought to book an accommodation that was central/walkable to most attractions. This hotel did not disappoint! Our check-in was smooth and easy, the receptionist was probably one of the most friendliest I’ve ever encountered. She even provided suggestions of good places, activities, pubs, etc. As part of our loyalty program with Accor, we were meant to receive room upgrades (subject to availability). She did acknowledge our status, but also apologised in advance being it a busy time, which we were completely fine with. We weren’t expecting anything further, but we were welcomed to a nice and cozy room with a beautiful view of the university/museum + our welcome gift. 🎁 Though small space, it was very well thought out of. There were cupboards to store our stuff and luggage, there were cables to accommodate our personal gadgets and everything else essential (percolator, coffee machine, additional blankets, etc). Overall, it was an excellent experience. I would definitely recommend staying here and would choose to stay here again if we would be visiting Edinburgh in the future. Thank you to the amazing staff.

This hotel was just off the a Royal Mile and close to excellent cafes. Just up the hill from New Town and the train and bus stations. The bed was so comfortable and the room had everything you'd need. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast having everything hot and cold available(we didn't use it at other times so can't comment). Would definitely recommend. There is a shop just across the street for storing luggage cheaply in case you go on a tour and can't take all your things.

Location almost on the Royal Mile but not quite, instead is on a very busy bus-filled road that leads to lots of cheaper food & services away from the prices on High Street, feels like the living heart of the old town, rather than the touristy part. Rooms have very thin walls—I was surprised how clearly we could hear our neighbors. The bathroom is a cheap pre-fab that feels outdated—there is mold behind the toilet flush buttons. Sadly, our room lost all hot water 1 day & it didn’t come back till the next day! But the room is warm & dry & the window looked out onto the busy street below. The staff is all friendly & warm!

Great location close to Waverley Station and The Festival Theatre. Hotel staff were all friendly, polite and helpful. Room was pretty basic but clean and comfortable with a good mattress. All the facilities in the bathroom 'pod' worked well and the shower was very good. We enjoyed a reasonably priced cocktail in the bar and I was really impressed by the breakfast buffet. My only complaint was the outside noise from a nearby bar or club with a loud sound system which we could hear in our third floor room until 03:00 AM, next time I'll request a room on a higher floor. Apart from that no complaints.
