Excellent stay during the final 2 days after our bus tour os Scotland ended. The breakfast was an excellent value and housekeeping was great. Right in the friggin' middle of the Royal Mile surrounded by everything and just 3 doors away from the Department of Magic escape room and alchemy cocktails mix.

No AC, they have a “swamp cooler”, and remember you are near pubs, so it can be quite loud at night, overall a good, clean place and on the royal mile.

Great location, reasonable price, and good standard Ibis style rooms, cleanliness, and breakfast. Was offered a large room facing the Main Street. Loved my stay in Edinburgh.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Ibis Hunter Square, and both times have been wonderful. It’s well located and had a friendly staff. The breakfast is not included, but the cost of it is certainly better than you’re going to pay at virtually any restaurant in the area. It’s not the most elaborate breakfast, but certainly works. We also loved their plan of giving you a 5 pound credit if you don’t have your room made up. We used the credits for breakfast and some ice cream at the bar.

Everyone and everything were great. Only suggestion would be if you were to book it is to ask for a room not overlooking the back alley: lots of late night noise and partying.

A good hotel in central Edinburgh. Perfectly placed for all the tourist hotspots. There was a lot of noise at night from the pub next door and windows banging in the wind, but overall we enjoyed our stay here

Great location. Very comfortable beds. It is right in the centre of the Royal Mile so very lively at night.
