Rapporto qualità prezzo pessimo!
Pros:

La posizione è sicuramente ottima

Cons:

La struttura è vecchia. La camera è molto degradata. Il pavimento è molto disconnesso, la porta del bagno era "marcia" sulla parte bassa, la ventola del bagno non funzionava, il piatto doccia e le porte erano sporche e mancavano anche gli asciugamani per due persone.
Per quello che abbiamo speso il luogo non vale proprio la pena, anzi una spesa molto elevata per avere solo la posizione ottima.

אכזבה
Cons:

המקום לא נקי. ללא איוורור בחדר. צפוף ויקר מאוד. המיקום אכן מרכזי. לב העיר

Great location to spend some days in Edinburgh Centre.
Pros:

The staying at Ibis was very comfortable. A bit tricky to find (because of the different levels of the city streets) but once you understand how it works, it’s on a great location, very near the Royal Mile.

Muy buena ubicación y personal muy amable
Pros:

La ubicación a dos minutos de la Royal Mile es extraordinaria. El personal muy amable, pese a estar en pleno festival Fringe y notarse mucho movimiento. El precio, seguramente por el festival, algo disparado de más, aunque en las próximas semanas seguramente será aún peor.
Las instalaciones están bien, sin ningún lujo.

Cons:

Nos encontramos en una zona común un ratoncillo, que entró a dar un paseo por el restaurante, aunque en esta zona de la ciudad a mi me pareció algo que podría pasar. Se lo dijimos al personal e inmediatamente cerraron para "buscarlo".
El precio, alto para el hotel.

Pros:

Staff was friendly. Room was confortable, except for the bathroom, and large.

Cons:

Location is extremely noisy, although near Royal Mile, it is too noisy and busy. The hotel itself is very noisy. The bathroom was extremely uncomfortable.

Pros:

Konumu oldukça merkeziydi ve personeller güler yüzlü ve yardımcılardı.

Cons:

Odaların temizliği iyi yapılmıyordu, çöpler nadiren değiştiriliyordu. Tuvalet kağıdı dahi her seferinde yenilenmedi. tuvaletin kapısı oldukça gürültülüydü, tuvaletin yalıtımı yok denecek kadar kötüydü ve yatak/yastık rahatsızdı. Pencereler azıcık bile açılamıyordu ve klima odanın havalandırılması için yetersizdi.

It was ok. Would stay here again
Pros:

The female staff were lovely and accommodating. On arrival, my initial room had an extremely unpleasant smell. After some discussions, I was offered a replacement room.

Cons:

It was a bit too far from the airport tram station. Was a long steep walk to catch it with two 23 kg bags, but doable.
