"Edinburgh is very chaotic/touristy on the Royal Mile and this was right in the chaos, however, it felt very safe & the room itself was very spacious, clean & worth the price for it all. I had to contact them once for directions and they answered right away and were super helpful. It sucks there are stairs you have to carry your luggage up and the luggage room was on the first floor, very small/crowded & right next to our apartment room door, but it didn’t seem to get too loud or an issue when...

ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Nice pubs and eateries close by. Not having phone chargers and sockets at bedside I felt was out of sorts for a modern hotel. My wife had a lead and socket on her side. I had a charger in the opposite corner under a shelf beside a wardrobe. Hidden. Only my wife copped it when plugging in the hairdryer we wouldn’t have noticed it. Minor crib I know. But easily sorted for future guests."
