Great idea Ibis
Great stay, brill idea they have also, skip the room clean, get a £5 voucher off food and drink, and you can ask for clean towels on top of that

Avoid
I would avoid this hotel at all costs. Having spent the previous night in another local hotel that only cost £30 more I found the Ibis very over priced. It’s shabby and run down. My sink didn’t drain properly and smelt as a result. The sheets a scratchy and the staff seem disinterested.

Great location - check in time at 3 PM is a little inconvenient. No refrigerator in the room and you can’t control your own air conditioning.

I booked a twin room for my daughter and husband, however they were allocated a double room. I purposely chose this hotel because you offer twin rooms. I am very disappointed this was not honoured.

Never never never again stay with Ibis
Yes its a budget brand but a London premium prices for Edinburgh. A very slow frustrating check in process, slowest I've ever experienced for a hotel.The single beds were child sized with toppers rather than standard adult singles. A door to a presuming adjoining room would indicate that this expensive room was wholly inappropriate for two adults. The only postives I would say was that the breakfast was of a high quality and looking forward to checking out!

8/10 Very good

Room too hot
The room was adequate for a budget hotel. On the small side but very clean. The room was extremely hot and we even had the heat off (Oct time frame) and we opened the window and used a fan but the window in the room faced a wall at a strange angle so there was no airflow. The breakfast was good except for the powdered scrambled eggs. The staff was friendly and helpful but it’s unlikely that we will stay in this hotel again when we return to Scotland. Stay on a lower floor- we were on the 3rd.
Room with small window.

The hotel is minutes from the Royal Mile and other points of interest including bars. Sadly, it is hard to sleep when the bars are open, the noise can be very loud!

4/10 Fair

This has to be the noisiest hotel I've ever stayed at (and I've stayed at theme park resorts too many times to count). Between the broken toilet with constantly running water, the obscenely loud shouting from people outside, the constant sound of traffic and horns, the bass from the live music down the street vibrating the room, and the oddly loud hum from the hotel itself, I didn't sleep at all. The location is fine if you want to be central to things in the area, but the noise never stopped. And I mean never. I thought for sure it would stop after midnight at some point but it absolutely didn't. The room was quite cramped (especially if it was meant for two people), and I would not stay here again.

Location, location, location - this hotel has it! It did get a bit noisy at night because it's near everything but the noise wasn't enough to really interfere with sleep/relaxing. I'd definitely stay here again. Nice little coffee shop/bakery next door.
