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!

Room too hot
The room was adequate for a budget hotel. On the small side but very clean. The room was extremely hot and we even had the heat off (Oct time frame) and we opened the window and used a fan but the window in the room faced a wall at a strange angle so there was no airflow. The breakfast was good except for the powdered scrambled eggs. The staff was friendly and helpful but it’s unlikely that we will stay in this hotel again when we return to Scotland. Stay on a lower floor- we were on the 3rd.

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 rooms were clean and staff helpful. It could get noisy at night as this seemed to be a location close to universities.

Woof...
We stayed at quite a few amazing hotels during our two weeks in the UK...this was not one of them. Twice as expensive and half the size of any of the other 5 hotels we stayed at (Islay, Glasgow, Edinburgh, London and Belfast). Comically small. So small only one person could be out of bed navigating the floor at a time and a ceiling dormer right next to the bed that I had to duck under when I got out of bed (see photo). The shower wouldn't drain and we both had to stop mid shower before the water flowed over the curb. A mattress that felt that it was made out of concrete. This would be a perfect room for a hobbit, but not for a man and certainly not for a couple. Broom closet maybe? Did I mention the all-night revelry taking place right outside our window? In all seriousness, unless you have some reason for staying right on the Royal Mile, head into New Town (walking distance) and you'll find a quieter, larger room for less money. We'll definitely be back to Edinburgh, but won't be staying here.

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.

Hotel is ideally located near major attractions, easy to walk to wherever you want to go, safe, clean and great staff. It is very noisy during the school year, the university kids were loud until about 5 am and I had a hard time sleeping through the noise.
