Great location, poor breakfast.
Pros:

There aren't plugs by the bed, but they provide one extension chord, so one of the two of you will have access to a plug at your bedside. We opted for two twins over a double. It was a good choice since its a bigger amount of space. They are pushed quite close together so it's almost like a king. They don't service the rooms until late in the day. They knocked on our door around (17:00/5:00 PM the first day). We asked for an earlier service for the day and they accommodated. I would say as someone with dietary issues, the breakfast was the only disappointment. it's expensive. (I'm not sure if we had a deal). The eggs seems like they weren't fresh, maybe from a powder??? There weren't really good gluten-free options. The fruit was disappointing. The coffee was an abomination. The location is good and you could easily find breakfast elsewhere, even though it's really nice to wake-up and head downstairs prior to heading out for the day. Not bad at all, but not stellar experience. We care a lot about the location and that was fantastic.

Cons:

The breakfast. It didn't offer adequate options for people with dietary issues. It was poor quality food for the most part. By day two I only ate, the bacon and a mandarin. I brought my own powdered coffee by day three.

Ease of access and its location make this IBIS hotel an ideal stop for short stays.
Pros:

Close to centre of New Town and Waverley Station.
Was tidy and clean.
Although there is a nightclub closed by, we found the room to be exceptionally quiet.

Cons:

Very little in the way of coffee/tea making facilities, no fridge at all.
No view at all.
Looked like it had previously been a private hospital.
