"I loved the ambiance of this place. It was in a convenient spot as it was only 5 min walk from many of our tour meeting spots and sights we wanted to see. Check-in was a breeze, staff was friendly and let us store our luggage. Only negative was the size of our private 4 bed room. It was the smallest hostel room I had ever stayed in. Very little space to open our suitcases "

"This makes a perfect solo-person stay in an excellent part of Edinburgh. It’s clean and quiet and professionally run. If your concept of hostel included loud, drunken/high people up at all hours of the night, this is not that! It’s just a perfect place for a solo adult traveler to have a safe, inexpensive place to stay. "

"We stayed at the Ibis Centre South Bridge for 6 nights. It is conveniently located, close to the Royal Mile and High Street. We were able to walk everyplace we wanted to go. There are lots of places to eat all around. The room was ok. There was a light over the desk that would not work most of the time. The staff tried to fix it, but it seemed to be and intermittent problem that they could not resolve. Also, there was only one chair at the desk and no other place to sit except on the bed....

5/5 Excellent
"Parking not on-site. Parking was not included had to pay a discounted rate. Parking garage hard to find with Google directions. Kept taking us to another location and eventually stumbled upon the garage after circling around a few times. Overall parking location and that it was “discounted” not clear on booking site."
