    “It was comfortable.”

    It was located in the Old Town of Edinburgh, surrounded by many pubs and bakeries, making it very convenient for sightseeing and staying. The view outside the room looked over the streets of the Old Town, which was really nice. The hotel was in an old stone building of the Old Town, but it had been beautifully renovated and was very clean and comfortable. The staff were bright and friendly with smiles, and they kindly kept our suitcases before check-in and after check-out, which was very helpful. Thank you very much.

    “Great Location!”

    Our stay here was great. The hotel is literally next to the train station. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, so the location is very convenient. The facilities are clean, and the staff is friendly. Updating the old fashioned locks on the rooms doors to electronic cards would be a huge plus, but that is minor. Highly recommend!

    “The staff was amazing.”

    I usually don’t bother leaving reviews but I had to let everyone know how amazing the staff were the night I stayed. Everyone was super nice when checking in/out and tried to attend to my needs (they even provided a fabric bag because I had a lot to carry in my hands) but that’s not even the most amazing part. On the day I checked out, I was meant to hop on a plane to London but after waiting at the airport for 6 hours, at 12am, I was told that my flight was cancelled after being delayed multiple times. Since it was late at night, not many hotel receptions were open and of the few that were open, most of them were already fully booked. I finally called Ibis to ask if they had a room available for the night but they were booked out too. However, the staff offered to let me stay at their bar until my next train at 5am and when I arrived, they provided me with water, coffee, biscuits, and even takeaway breakfast the next morning. I just didn’t think someone would offer such kindness during a very frustrating time and it definitely helped me feel better about the whole situation! I didn’t grab the name of the staff that offered such kindness throughout the night but hope he sees this review and knows that I am utterly grateful and will never forget this experience. Definitely recommend, best hotel I’ve been to in my entire 25-year life.

    “Very good”

    The location was very satisfactory, the cleanliness was satisfactory, the friendliness of the staff was good, and the only complaint was that there were only tissues in the bathroom instead of toilet paper.

    “Clean & simple in the centre”

    The hotel is a very short distance from the Royal Mile, which is one of the main tourist streets in Edinburgh. It is close to Waverley train station, but you have to climb up to the hotel. With heavy luggage you might want to take a detour to avoid the steps. The bar is open to 04:00, but the beer selection wasn't much.
