Staff were very helpful with our needs especially Rijaq who helped providing the fire alarm system for us as we are deaf in case of fire at night. Room was a tad small but it is well maintained and clean. Breakfast is good. Choices of cereal, fruit and cooked breakfast. If we come back to Edinburgh again probably for the Military Tattoo, we will go back there, if the price is right, of course.

You pay for location. It is perfect for conveniently seeing the Royal Mile. However, the hotel is way overpriced and poor. We booked months in advance to receive a small room by the kitchen. The room was dirty and had no sound protection. The bed was a Matt on a box spring. Super disappointed in this location.

The area is super convenient but very active. We had an exterior room and could hear all the street noise throughout the night. Bed was not very comfortable. Cleaning staff seemed to come at random times of the day. Breakfast had many offerings.

The location is wonderful. Very central Royal mile. However, my door wouldn’t shut properly. They did come look at it but we had to let it slam shut and I felt bad for the people near us. The room was okay. Needs some updating and the outlet didn’t work. Otherwise it was fine for a one night stay.

Great hotel in a brilliant central location. Everything within walking distance. Polite and friendly staff. Only gripe was a noisy room due to the wind whistling outside. Not a complaint of the hotel, just an observation. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again!

I booked a twin room for my daughter and husband, however they were allocated a double room. I purposely chose this hotel because you offer twin rooms. I am very disappointed this was not honoured.

Never never never again stay with Ibis
Yes its a budget brand but a London premium prices for Edinburgh. A very slow frustrating check in process, slowest I've ever experienced for a hotel.The single beds were child sized with toppers rather than standard adult singles. A door to a presuming adjoining room would indicate that this expensive room was wholly inappropriate for two adults. The only postives I would say was that the breakfast was of a high quality and looking forward to checking out!
