A great location just off the Royal Mile. Desk staff were fantastic. We stayed here based on location, wanting to walk the Royal Mile and experience this part of Edinburgh. Would definitely stay here 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.

The hotel is minutes from the Royal Mile and other points of interest including bars. Sadly, it is hard to sleep when the bars are open, the noise can be very loud!

This has to be the noisiest hotel I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at theme park resorts too many times to count). Between the broken toilet with constantly running water, the obscenely loud shouting from people outside, the constant sound of traffic and horns, the bass from the live music down the street vibrating the room, and the oddly loud hum from the hotel itself, I didn't sleep at all. The location is fine if you want to be central to things in the area, but the noise never stopped. And I mean never. I thought for sure it would stop after midnight at some point but it absolutely didn't. The room was quite cramped (especially if it was meant for two people), and I would not stay here again.

Location, location, location - this hotel has it! It did get a bit noisy at night because it's near everything but the noise wasn't enough to really interfere with sleep/relaxing. I'd definitely stay here again. Nice little coffee shop/bakery next door.

The Ibis is in a great location by the Royal Mile. We were happy that it has an elevator! The bar was an unexpected bonus. What we didn’t care for was late night noise from the bottles that were being dumped after 10 pm, but we realize that it could’ve been the bar next door. Also - a fan in the room would’ve helped! All in all a good experience and price point.

The hotel is centrally located, just off the Royal Mile, so there were many restaurants and great sight-seeing attractions close by. If you have trouble sleeping with a noisy environment, there was a fair bit of activity from people partying & road cleaning equipment late into the night…over-all, I enjoyed my stay and rate it a 4/5

The staff was courteous and helpful. I requested a quieter room and it was indeed quiet.The room was better than expected, but twin beds seemed more narrow than average twin bed. Also, pillows were too thick for neck comfort. Otherwise I thought it was a great stay.
