Srsly excellent from stepping out of my taxi- and I was high maintenance. Six pieces of luggage bc moving to Scotland. Diverse staff. Asked bell hop about tipping and he gave me the exact rundown I needed from an industry perspective. Wanted to be left alone with my in my beautiful room and I was, super quiet despite housekeeping in other rooms. Black out curtains for jet lag. Went down to model an outfit for concierge (trying to figure out casual pub-wear for a first date) and she was super helpful in distinguishing my happy hour cocktail wear vs pub. Even the coffee at breakfast was basically the only American style drip/filter coffee I’ve found anywhere in Edinburgh so far. I really can’t say enough good things about this place, or its location.

Pros: Excellent hotel & facilities. Modern, spacious interior. Complementary wifi, pool, + gym. Very helpful staff. Spa and breakfast are typically not included, but upgrade is possible for 90 GBP per day for 2 people. This includes access to the club lounge, the spa, unlimited drinks and snacks from 5:30-7:30pm, and breakfast in the lounge in the morning. If you wanted a greater selection for the breakfast, you could pay 5 GBP more per person for the breakfast at the One Square restaurant downstairs which includes a quite large selection of hot options and a large continental breakfast. All in all, the food and drinks were amazing. The spa was great - there is a heated hydropool and then multiple types of rooms around it: hammam, rock sauna, aromatherapy room, biosauna, etc.
Cons: The location is a little further from the city center than I initially anticipated, but it wasn't a huge problem. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the Edinburgh Castle and 20-30 if walking at a brisk pace to George St, Princes St, etc. where all the shops are. There isn't much to do around the hotel itself, particularly at night - it seems like a business neighborhood + convention center next door.

Pros: The hotel was beautiful as was my room. I was there on business and didn’t have a lot of time to explore Edinburgh, but the great location made kit easy to see a lot with the time I had available. Would consider staying again for personal travel as well.

Pros: Location
Cons: Bedroom was irritating. Numerous lightbulbs flickered. There was a sewer smell in the room when we arrived. There was air leakage at our window which caused cold draughts all night and meant we heard everything going on in the service yard below which disturbed my sleep. The heating/ air system was poor and the room was either too stiff or cold and I had to keep getting up to change the controls. Hotel was very quiet too, why they gave us this room was strange or thoughtless.

Pros: Got a good deal on Kayak. The internet is GREAT, which makes me happy because internet seems to be an ongoing drama all over Europe. Welcome to the 21st century Europe, crawl out of your castles and get online. Breakfast was fine, had some whiskey in the bar as a nightcap. Location was great, fun to walk around the area.

Good choice for my group of three friends. Pretty good location, even with local construction (no noise on our Sunday stay). Several places to eat. Great walking to town and Royal Mile. Mile walk from St Andrews tram stop is tough with luggage. Really good breakfast. Friendly, helpful staff (we asked in the evening for a taxi next morning). Our room was ready for check in midday. For those who have mobility issues, this is not accessible: lots of stairs, narrow winding hallways, step into bathroom and big step without aid into tub. Do recommend otherwise.
Located in Old Town, this hotel is steps away from Edinburgh Vaults and Princes Street. Royal Mile and Festival Theatre are also within 5 minutes. Edinburgh Waverley Station is only a 4-minute walk and Edinburgh Haymarket Station is 25 minutes.

Pros: Location in the heart of Edinborough.
Cons: Booked 6 months prior to stay. Realized the next day, that I had booked a room for Saturday night, when I would be in Edinburgh only for Friday night. Was unable to switch nights even though it had been less than 12 hours from the time that the reservation was made, and the reservation was six months in the future. Had to reserve a second night. Rooms were clean with a modern open concept layout. Tried a bit too hard to be hip, no trash can in the room itself only a 1 gallon sized bin in the bathroom and no tub in the bath.
Excellent
9.4
Pros: I chose this hotel because it was centrally located, easy to walk to from the train station, and a good price. It was exactly as advertised - no more, no less. If you are just looking for a place to lay your head at night while exploring Edinburgh, IBIS is a good choice. The staff were friendly and efficient, the room and bathroom was clean, and check-in/out was simple and direct. Overall I would stay here again.
Cons: In over 20 years of travel, every hotel except one has fallen short on pillows. Doesn't matter where, they are universally flat and usually require 3 or so to be good for me - I'm a side sleeper who likes fluffy firm pillows.
Okay

Location is great and rooms are spacious. But staff is kind of rude and don’t really know what they are doing, it felt like all of them were on their first day. Also, one elevator was out of order and it was taking forever to get the other one, and there was no one there to fix it. Finally poor drainage in the bathroom is kind of annoying.

Location of the hotel is good because it’s near restaurants and walking distance from Waverley station. If you’re staying in their suites and over a weekend, be weary as the suites are over the Ratpack Bar which is extremely loud with live music till 3 AM. Plus there were several loud people walking around outside on the street and inside the hotel hallways at odd hours.

Pros: Breakfast was great. No pool available but there was plenty of other ways to spend your time. The rooms were contemporary and chic. The staff were professional.! The bar was ‘funky’. The drinks were expensive - £9 for a glass of wine. You expect to pay over the odds on holiday - especially in a city. A great few days away.
Cons: Cannot fault anything.

Pros: Right off the Royal Mile, this hotel couldn't be in a better place. Comfortable, clean rooms with great views. Funny British ways about electricity - you have to put a hotel key in to a special reader inside the room to turn on the electricity in the room. They really don't want you to leave the lights on when you're not there, I guess. Perfect spot for our stay.
Cons: We stayed in two different rooms. The second room had a bathroom that needed some work. It was clean, but some towel bars were showing rust, and the tile needed to be re-caulked.
Mediocre
3.1
Pros: The reception area looks swanky but it’s a fur coat and no underwear. Good location for Old and New town
Cons: Room was a time machine from the 90’s Shower didn’t work because of ‘pressure issues’. The same ‘pressure issues’ also meant the the hot water failed to come out of the taps unless they were fully opened for at least five minutes and then it took a good 15 minutes to fill the shallow bath. The maintenance man said this was always an issue on the third floor particularly in the morning because everyone was using the water. Husband had to rescue something from under the sagging couch and wish he’d left it there - disgustingly filthy and left us feeling queasy that we’d been in the same room as that level of filth. Probably not been moved since the 90’s... Relative to other hotels it’s a cheaper option but not cheap enough - I’d have paid a bit more for a consistent hot water supply and a room that had been deep cleaned in the last decade.

Pros: I loved my room. I had paid extra for a quiet room on the business floor. My room was very quiet and looked at the building next door. I decided I wanted a view from the front and they kindly moved me to the ground floor. Their windows were double paned and even though there are lots of cars on the road, it was quiet as well as bright and even had a bathtub. Not all the rooms do. I didn't know Scotland used different plugs than Switzerland and Germany and they loaned me an adaptor. They also helped me with great directions and suggestions for things to do. The Urban Angel restaurant nearby is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to with artistically flavored local, organic food.
