My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay. Great location close to public transport and a good mix of restaurants. We loved the hotel breakfast but would’ve preferred if they started serving at 6 AM instead of 7 AM just to make it easier to connect with morning tour groups.

I appreciated the air conditioning. The bathroom gives off cruise ship vibes. The dinner is decent if you don’t feel like going out. I’d skip the breakfast tbh. A few nights it was pretty loud from the street behind the hotel.

Ordinary modern hotel without any character. Confusing layout without adequate signing to various parts. Minimal linens. Comfortable bed. Breakfast just OK, dark space with little outside light.

We found the Ibis Hotel on South Bridge to be perfect for our stay in Edinburgh. The front desk staff were excellent, assisting us with booking a taxi and answering any questions. We appreciated the tea in our room daily. The all you can eat buffet breakfast had a great variety of options.
