5/5 Excellent

"Convenient over night stay extremely close to airport. Walking distance les than 10 minute walk. Hotel food is mediocre. Needs cleaning. Bathroom shower clogged up immediately. Small room but comfortable. No phone in room to call reception "

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

5/5 Excellent

"This hotel was amazing. It was very modern and very clean. They even upgraded me to a deluxe room, which had more space and windows. It was very roomy. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I couldn’t believe I could find such a nice room at such a great price right in the Royal Mile. You have to be careful which ibis you go to since there are two just a block away, but they obvious are used to people’s confusion as they instantly asked to see my reservation, anticipating I first went to the wrong room (which I did). I still don’t understand why no hotels have Kleenex available, but it’s all of them."
