ill prepared Front Desk Staff .Tired dull surroundings ,
Pros:

breakfast … more so as the hotel Comped us because of the Complete screw up , at the hotel , with our Room Reservation and Confirmation

Cons:

In a sleezy side Street offThe Royal Mile .
Beware there are Two Ibis Hotels saying “location Edinburgh Royal Mile “.We went to the other as we assumed that was where we booked … Looked Nice
They directed us to the other ,about 3 minute walk away , in a very dubious side street Felt dirty and where Students may stay . On checking IN they said they were Full(despite showing our CONFIRMATION, They eventually gave us a room .. one bed and offered a second Downy Cover .., It came to the room eventually after reminding them it was offered. UGH … the water was hot and breakfast good.Two small Lifts , one out of service

Déçue
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

La propreté : le sur matelas en torchon jamais tiré, les tables de nuits et verre à dents et tasses à thé sales et jamais lavés durant mon séjour. Également un reste de crème grasse au bord du lavabo sans parler de la bouche d’aération de la douche avec 1 cm de champignons!!
Pas de bosse de toilette… super de frotter à main le fond de toilette!!
