Great
WWahida ZulkefleWe loved our stay at this hotel in Scotland. Perfect for a short trip—just a short walk to the airport. Breakfast was ready as early as 5am, which was such a bonus. Arrived before check-in time and the receptionist kindly allowed us to check in early. Everything was smooth and welcoming!
Love!

GGuest UserWe had a lovely stay at the Ibis on the Royal mile. Our room was modern, adequate in size. The temperature was just right and the bed comfortable.
The location was excellent. We stayed at the back of the hotel and wasn’t bothered by a lot of noise. I would definitely recommend and will go back one day. An excellent choice and great value.

AAnonymous UserThe hotel is in a great location, very conveniently within walking distance of various major tourist attractions. The hotel itself has a charmingly antique feel and is close to Calton Hill, a great spot for sunset views. Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace are also within easy reach.

GGuest UserThere's no phone in the room, so you have to email if you need anything. Slippers aren't provided, and there's no complimentary bottled water in the room. You can get hot and cold drinking water from the self-service area on the 1st floor. Breakfast is the no-cook kind. There's a bus stop nearby, making it convenient for dining out and sightseeing. Edinburgh Castle is also within walking distance. The staff, however, are all very friendly.

GGuest UserExcellent Location, but Serious Security Lapses
I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. While there are some undeniable perks to the property, a few significant service and security issues made for a rather unsettling experience.
The Highlights
Prime Location: This is easily the hotel's strongest suit. It’s situated right next to Haymarket station, and there is a bus stop literally just outside the front door. Getting into the city centre takes no more than 10 minutes, making it a perfect base for exploring.
Commendable Service: The reception team provided a decent welcome. I’d like to give a special mention to Shreyas, who was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our interactions.
Quality Dining: We ate at the on-site restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. The food was of a high standard, and the waitstaff were attentive and friendly.
Room Maintenance & Tech Issues
Unfortunately, the shine started to wear off once we settled into the room:
Housekeeping Oversights: Despite this being a multi-day stay, the complimentary water bottles were never replaced after the first day.
Faulty Tech: The in-room tablet was practically useless. It kept restarting due to a battery fault; ironically, it even cut out while I was trying to use it to contact reception.
Privacy Concerns: When we requested extra toilet roll, the staff member who delivered it attempted to walk straight into the room using their key, rather than knocking and waiting for us to answer. It was a complete breach of basic hospitality etiquette.
A Major Security Concern
The most distressing part of the trip occurred on our second day. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we were shocked to find the main door open. It appears the cleaning staff had failed to secure the door after finishing their rounds.
Finding your hotel room left open to the public is, quite frankly, scary. It’s a massive security fail that overshadowed the rest of the stay. While the location is brilliant, the hotel desperately needs to tighten up its staff training and safety protocols.
Would I stay again? Only if I were certain that the security and maintenance issues had been addressed.

GGuest UserThe room I booked was surprisingly spacious, exceeding my expectations. The environment was quiet and clean, and the hotel staff were very friendly. The breakfast spread was incredibly rich with a wide variety of desserts, definitely worth recommending. I was in a hurry when I left, so I forgot to take photos.
8.5/10

KKloiaThis is a photo I took at my accommodation in Edinburgh. It was only about a one-minute walk from the station, and most of the main tourist attractions were nearby, which made getting around very convenient.
The only surprise was that I didn’t realise it was a triple bunk bed when I booked it. I booked it without thinking much about the bed setup, so I was a bit caught off guard. As a result, I hit my head a few times!
Other than that, everything was fine. Interestingly, the top bunk (third level) actually looked like the best spot.

GGuest UserThis hotel boasts an excellent location. All the attractions we wanted to visit were just a short, easy walk away, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, which was incredibly convenient. The rooms were spotless, with daily housekeeping. It's an ideal choice for a family of three.

GGuest UserThe room was much better than expected, clean and comfortable. Self-service check-in and check-out were quick and convenient. If you don't know how to use it, you can call and ask for patient guidance. If you don't know how to use the access control, you can ask the staff. The location is far from the city center and various attractions, about 30 minutes walk, but you can take the bus.
In summary, it is still a good choice. After all, hotels in Edinburgh are crazy expensive. I will stay in this hotel again.

GGuest UserMy second stay here
Great location at a good price, in Edinburgh you will be outside most of the day in this great city so you just need a comfortable sleep at a good location which this hotel provides as it's at the tip of the royal mile and only few mins walk to Waverley bridge where you can get the airport express bus and also the train station, rooms have good Balmoral view
Just avoid the corner rooms cuz they have sluggish internet connection
