Slamming of doors in the hallway was disruptive. I didn’t like that I couldn’t just order porridge and coffee for breakfast - I had to pay for the whole thing.

We picked this hotel so we were in the middle of everything, which was great, however the room we were in wasn't that clean, and was desperately in need of new flooring as it was warped and peeling. Was extremely pricey for what we ended up getting.

IBIS was simply amazing!!! The other 6 family members all booked cheaper B&B's around Edinburgh but the South Bridge IBIS was central to everything we wanted to see. Breakfast was fantastic and the service and dinner and evening bar was great! Exactly what we expected after staying with IBIS in Amsterdam on our last family trip.

Interesting bathrooms

The rooms are small. That was expected. The bathroom was interesting to say the least. Not enough towels given at first we received no hand towels and no bath mat. The toilet paper roll the first day was less than half a roll. The door of the bathroom and laminate floor were damaged by the wetness of the bathroom pod. The air con at times did not sufficiently cool the room. Breakfast buffet was nice and coffee good.

Great staff working here! The room was very quiet and comfortable. Close to the train station. I was in town for a bus tour around the Highlands. Walking from the hotel to the bus station was just a little over 10 minutes.

The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance of the Royal Mile. The street itself can feel a little sketchy at times with rowdy locals and a few homeless people. We didn't have any issues but made sure to be back in the hotel by 9:30. We also understand those are the consequences of being in a big city and by no means the fault or the responsibility of the hotel. Room was clean and well maintained. Wasn't quite as comfy/cozy as I would have liked but at the end of the day it was a clean place for us to rest our heads. The bathrooms reminded us of a bathroom on a cruise ship. It's all one unit that is manufactured together and then placed in the hotel room. The hotel was also able to hold our bags for us after we checked out so we didn't have to carry our luggage around the city with us all day.

Great location...close to the Royal Mile. Our room / stay was comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised with the special Anniversary treat that they gave us shortly after check-in. Very thoughtful...and good timing. Even though we were on the 9th floor (actually 5th floor above reception desk)...the elevators were very quick and we never had to wait too long. We wish we had more time to tryout the restaurant / lounge area on the 3rd floor. We did a quick walk-through and it seemed to have lots of space to hang around or just kick back with friends. . A couple more hooks in the room would help to hang jackets / towels...and it would be nice to have a small fridge to hold food/beverages bought at the small grocery store next door...but we managed to get along without them. We would stay there again.
