Dear Andrew, We appreciate your candid feedback; thank you. We are delighted that our central spot made exploring Edinburgh so easy for you, with all the major sights, shops, and restaurants just a short walk away.

Aaron C. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

Stayed for 2 nights to explore Edinburgh. Would stay again. Location was convenient to restaurants, the airport tram, the train station, and Princes Street. Not a far walk to Old Town. Located on a quaint city square—away from the business of The Royal Mile. Friendly front desk staff. Spacious rooms. Only complaints are that the bathroom lacked a fan and had a slight urine smell.

Dear Aaron, Thank you for choosing us and for sharing your review. We are pleased you found your room spacious and that our front desk team made you feel welcome. That said, we regret the bathroom issues you noted. Our housekeeping team aims for high standards, and we are sorry this fell short during your visit; we will pass your feedback along to encourage closer attention. Still, we are glad our position on St Andrew Square worked well, placing restaurants, the tram, the train station, and Princes Street within easy reach.

The hotel was very close to the bus station, which was very helpful as we were returning from a Rabbie’s tour to that station. The first assigned room was on the lower ground floor. We were given a different room when I asked. We found the room quite small, but doable. The staff was very accommodating with getting us a cab to the airport and providing a packed meal, and the breakfast beautifully laid out and delicious.

Andrew M. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel is well situated for visiting the town, with all major sights within a 20 min walk from the hotel and even closer access to shopping and restaurants. Service was pleasant and efficient. However, the lobby and restaurant area could use a revitalization - the seating is low and extremely uncomfortable and while the decor strives to be avant-garde, it only succeeds in being busy and disquieting.

Paula C. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel's location was a big plus, made it very easy to get to all the places we wanted to see in Edinburgh. The staff at the reception desk were very pleasant and professional, and the buffet breakfast was something we looked forward to each day. I would say the only downside was the small size of the rooms. I am well aware that rooms in hotels in the UK and Europe are generally smaller than in other parts of the world - however on this trip we stayed in 7 different hotels and guest houses all over Scotland, and the Ibis rooms were the only ones that really felt too small to be truly comfortable. They might be OK for one person with not much luggage, but for two people with normal sized suitcases they felt very cramped.

Dear Paula, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent experience. We are delighted that you found our central position to be such an advantage during your time in Edinburgh. It is also wonderful that our reception team made such a positive impression with their welcoming approach, and we are pleased you looked forward to our Continental breakfast each morning. However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We understand that comfortable accommodation is essential for an enjoyable trip, and we regret that the room dimensions felt restrictive during your visit. Due to the nature of our historic building, our rooms vary in size, and our team are always happy to assist with room selection. Nonetheless, we are grateful for your perfect ratings regarding the arrival process, cleanliness standards and departure experience. We are also thrilled that you appreciated our team’s commitment to sustainability initiatives. We look forward to welcoming you back on a future trip.

We stayed at the ibis Styles at both ends of our Scotland trip. We loved that we could walk just about anywhere from the hotel, or grab one of the nearby trams or buses. The staff was friendly and accommodating- ready to answer any questions you might have. The rooms were immaculate, quiet and the beds were comfortable. The included breakfast has something for every taste, however the breakfast area can be a bit tight when crowded. That said, the restaurant/bar space is very comfortable for a drink and snack later in the day.

We are thrilled that you enjoyed our central location and found it so easy to explore Edinburgh on foot and public transport. We are also glad you found your room immaculate and peaceful, with a comfortable bed that helped you rest well. Our housekeeping team takes real pride in keeping every space spotless, and it is lovely to hear you appreciated the quality linens and Arran toiletries too. That said, we are sorry the breakfast area felt a little tight during busier moments. Our team is always on hand to help guests find a comfortable spot, and we are pleased you still enjoyed the variety on offer.
