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.

Our quirky design, inspired by the Edinburgh Festival, was refreshed in 2020 and we are proud of its character. We also regret that the breakfast offerings fell short of your expectations. Our team values your suggestions about fruit variety, coffee preparation, milk choices, and the toasters, and we will keep them in mind as we continue refining our service.

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.

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.

Breakfast was fantastic and definitely one of the highlights of our stay. We also loved having the late-night bar available; it was such a nice touch after a long day of exploring. The staff were friendly and helpful and gave us some great recommendations for the area. Overall, a comfortable and welcoming place to stay, and we’d happily stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at Ibis St. Andrew Square. The room was comfortable, the breakfast buffet had a lot of choices, all good. The location was convenient to all the sites in Old town and there is a tram stop across the square that goes directly to and from the airport. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was quiet as is the area the hotel is located in.

Dear Kathleen, Thank you very much for this kind review. We are delighted that you found your room comfortable and enjoyed the variety on our breakfast buffet. It is also wonderful that our location made it easy for you to explore Edinburgh’s attractions, and that the public transport was convenient for your airport journeys. We are also pleased our colleagues left you with a positive impression and that you appreciated the peaceful setting of both your room and the neighbourhood.

Judith R. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The location is great with nice aspect from front entrance. Loved the bright decor and art work. Friendly and helpful staff. Delighted to be given a room upgrade . Suite was spacious and comfortable.Breakfast good.Lobby is small and became crowded quite easily.

Dear Judith, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay. We are delighted that you loved our bright decor and the Scottish-themed artwork throughout the hotel. Our team takes great pride in being friendly and helpful, so it means a lot to hear that they made your stay so enjoyable. We are also pleased you found the suite spacious and comfortable after your upgrade, and that breakfast hit the mark each morning. However, we are sorry the lobby felt a bit cramped when it got busy. Our team is always on hand to help guests find a quieter spot when needed. We also regret that the air conditioning control panel proved tricky. Our heating and cooling system was fully renewed in early 2025, and reception is available any time to assist with settings. Finally, we are glad our location gave you such a lovely view over St Andrew Square. Being right in the heart of the New Town makes exploring Edinburgh’s shops, museums, and landmarks wonderfully easy.
