Great location to everything! I loved how I was able to walk to all the attractions. Also steps away from the bus stop and convenience/ grocery stores. Front desk was very friendly and housekeeping was always on time.

This Ibis Hotel is located in a very convenient area in the old town and the major Edinburgh sites were easy walks from the hotel. The staff was kind and helpful, breakfast was fresh, and my room was very clean. I wish the room had a refrigerator to store cold drinks.

Staff really nice , we had an accessible room for my wheelchair, bathroom good our only gripe was the lack of storage or shelves which I found just “annoying”.
