Ottima posizione, hotel perfetto per due/tre notti.
Pros:

Incredibilmente centrale. Esattamente sulla Royal Mile, dietro alla Cattedrale di St Giles, tutto quello che c’è da vedere a Edimburgo è a non più di 45 minuti a piedi. Perfetto. Le camere sono spaziose e pulite anche se essenziali.

Cons:

Le camere al primo piano non sono silenziose, le zone comuni sono pulite, ma usurate, la colazione era abbastanza basic e con poca scelta.

Op de badkamer na een prima verblijf op een uitstekende locatie
Pros:

Locatie was super, met een barretje in het hotel kon je aan het einde van de dag een afzakkertje nemen.
Ontbijtruimte was prima en het ontbijt goed.

Cons:

Badkamer is aan vervanging toe, douche spekglad, kraan veel te klein (kan je handen nouwelijks wassen.
Geen toiletborstel en de afvoer liep bijna niet door.
Airco werkt ook nouwelijks helaas.

Great location and nice, helpful staff.
Pros:

Great location and the hotel staff are very helpful. One of the best aspects of the hotel really is the location. We also liked the rooms. They fit our needs well and we were very happy with our stay.

Cons:

The windows in the rooms don't open as there are a double set of windows to block the sound (they work great). It was a little warm but not too bad (it was on the hotter side for Scotland when we were visiting). It would be nice to be able to open the windows a bit but overall a minor issue.

Overall, I didn’t feel the hotel offered good value for money.
Pros:

The staff were friendly and accommodating. On the first night, after a long drive to Edinburgh, I couldn’t sleep for most of the night due to noise outside. The shower room wasn’t very good either. When i showed, the water spread across the floor and pooled by the toilet. When I mentioned this to staff, they were helpful and provided me with another room the following day.

Cons:

The breakfast was disappointing, and the rooms felt dated and in need of refurbishment.

Excellent location, very good customer service, hotel itself is a bit oldish
Pros:

Hotel placed in excellent location, just at the RoyalMile, it was the best thing about the hotel - its location. Customer service was excellent - we were able to get into the room 3 hours before check-in time. Thanks for it.
Room was rather tiny, as expected, a bit loud as it is in the center, was clean. Hotel itself is already some years old and it was just visible. PS. There is sth like Platform 9 3/4 from Harry Potter - if you get 3rd floor - one of elevators doesn't stop on 3rd floor :):)

Cons:

There are couple improvement - three main ones: 1. Water was literally leaking from the shower, it was hard to bath yourself. 2. Breakfast was OK, enough to choose, same stuff all 3 days we have been there, however you have the feeling like always there was something missing and you need to ask service to bring additional cheese, ham etc. 3. And please improve your coffee at the breakfast - it was the worst quality coffee I have ever had been served in hotels :(

Caro, pero bueno
Pros:

La ubicación en pleno Royal Mile es inigualable. Desde ahí tienes acceso a los principales lugares de la ciudad. La habitación estaba limpia y si no deseas que te limpien la habitación, te dan £5 de descuento en la barra del hotel.

Cons:

El servicio de lavandería es el mas caro que he visto en un hotel. Además, el precio que se paga por estar en el sector mas reconocido de Edimburgo es alto.

A perfectly situated hotel in Edinburgh with wonderful staff
Pros:

What a sensational location for a wonderful hotel that provided the most welcoming service that would be the envy of similar ACCOR branded hotels we have stayed at over the years.

We were very pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel to see how central it was to all that is to be seen in Edinburgh, literally one hundred metres from the iconic Golden Mile.

With Edinburgh about to host the Edinburgh Tatoo and the Fringe Festival soon after our arrival and with the city full of tourists, the welcome we received from Ricky and Aaron was above and beyond anything we had expected. In fact Ricky, Aaron, Justine, Martin and the full Ibis team were brilliant.

The warmth and support during our stay from all staff made us feel very much at home. We couldn’t have asked for better care.

We appreciated the welcome drink in the lounge during our stay which was also very generous with few restrictions on what we could choose as a drink.
We were offered an upgrade to the fifth floor overlooking the bustling Hunter Square and received a very kind and generous welcome gift of two small bottle of spirits, a soft drink, two sparkling water bottles and two very tasty berry muffins.

Being in the hotel on a weekend night during our stay also meant we were able to have a complimentary breakfast on the Saturday morning.

Our room felt spacious, particularly having the large windows overlooking the square providing lots of natural light. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom just right for our two night stay.

The ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile, could not have been a more perfectly situated for our time in Edinburgh. We would not hesitate to stay there again should we ever find our selves back in Scotland.

As always it is the staff who look after guests in he hotels that always make our stays so memorable.

The ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile is definitely one of the most welcoming of hotel experiences we have had for quite some time, due largely to the team who work at the hotel and who clearly love their jobs!

Zero star!
Pros:

If i can give them negative or zero star i will. No extra pillow. No laundry bag and was given a garbage bag instead. Paid more than GBP 600++ for a room for 3 pax. No upgrade as a gold member. This is how you treat your member? Paying premium price with sucks service! Just avoid this place. Too expensive for a 3 stars hotel with sucks service!
