ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile

Close to the royal mile

Having prepaid for the stay through Hotel .com some 7 months earlier I was shocked to see that at the end of my stay, which was otherwise great, Ibis charged my credit card the full amount I had prepaid. More than £700. I only became aware of this charge when I recieved my credit card bill 2 days ago. Upside perfect location and very good beakfast. Would have recommended the hotel wholeheartidly had it not been for this very irritating financial.fiasco.

Extremely helpful staff. We had an issue with our toilet and the maintenance man was so kind and helpful. We also needed extra bedding and they were quick to accommodate. The room was very clean.

Amazing location. Perfect base for weekend in the city

Had the two twin beds room. It was as described. Didn’t take advantage of the breakfast. Cons: Water pressure in the shower was not very good and no mini fridge in the room. A bit noisy outside in the evenings. Pros: Very central location to everything, just a short walk to most places in Old town Edinburgh! Welcoming staff. Clean and safe.

Really helpful staff Room bit basic, but functional and clean Great breakfast - set us up for the whole day!

The air conditioning is not like what we used to in the United States. The room was hot.

Great location, clean and really appreciated the low cost parking option.

Hotel is centrally located. Close to train station. It is decent hotel. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Couple of things I want to point out, 1. Even if we close all windows, there is noise from the Hunter Square. 2. The breakfast items not so good. 3. Lobby smells of breakfast in the morning.

Close to railway station and city centre.

We booked a twin room for our 3 nights/4 days visit to Edinburgh. The room was compact, but clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. The self-service breakfast was available until 10.30am and there was lots of it. The hotel is very central, less than a minute's walk from the Royal Mile. The main attractions such as Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace, Scottish National Gallery, etc are all within easy walking distance of the hotel. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars a few minutes walk from the hotel. The hotel is a short walk from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station. If you are carrying luggage its easier to walk along the bridge than up the stairs of Fleshmarket Close, which are long and very steep!

Stayed here for a conference at the University and my spouse came along. The room felt like a glorified dorm room and the bathroom was very small and had an odor. I would not recommend.

The staff was fun and helpful. They gave us a couple of good recommendations for the area.

Location was fantastic right off Royal Mile, across from Tron Kirk market. Breakfast was decent (extra cost) good restaurants nearby, including a pub behind that keeps loud and late hours!

Hotel was in a great location for walking to all the tourists attractions. Clean room and just the right size for a couple for three nights. Only downfall is the room didn’t have good ventilation and the air conditioner didn’t work. Room seemed to get hotter at night and only relief was to leave the window open, but it can only open a couple inches. This made for early morning wake ups since the construction noises started at 5-6 AM. Besides that the staff was great. Bar stayed open until 4 in the morning. Had a breakfast buffet, but we didn’t eat there. They do give 5 pound vouchers that can be used by towards drinks if you choose to not have your room cleaned daily. We did enjoy the room. It’s not fancy, but was efficient for our short stay. The location is truly the crown jewel on this one.

Great mid priced property. Location for sightseeing is super. Well maintained and decent size rooms. Bar and lounge area on site and close to restaurants in old town. I didn't mind there was no air conditioning but it will be noisy especially with open windows. The bar goers will yell and construction starts early. Loud bangs that go on very early. Bring earplugs to stay here.

The bed wasn’t comfortable. The mattress topper wouldn’t stay in place

Súper expensive and physically not up to Ibis standards. Needed a shoe horn to get into the bathroom and nowhere in the bathroom or main room to put anything - no desk.

Breakfast was good, and hotel location was great

Highly recommend. Clean, comfortable, convenient.
