Our stay at the ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile had its ups and downs. The first room we were given was quite dated, with noticeable chips in the floors and walls—something you might expect from a budget hotel. However, given that we paid £250-300 per night, we expected a bit more. Fortunately, the front desk staff and management were quick to respond, and they upgraded us to a much better room. If you’re booking, I highly recommend opting for the upgraded suite. The beds were reasonably comfortable, and the room was a decent size for the area. One downside was the bathroom, which can best be described as similar to what you’d find in a cruise ship or RV. The property itself could benefit from some extensive renovations, as it is clearly showing its age. That said, the hotel was clean and served its purpose as a place to sleep during our stay. If you’re expecting a luxury experience or something beyond a basic budget hotel, you might want to look elsewhere. On a positive note, the location is fantastic, with nearly every major attraction within a 15-20 minute walk. If you’re a fan of the Ibis brand like myself and are looking for a budget-friendly option, I’d recommend checking out the ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile - Hunter Square. It’s just a 3-minute walk away and appears to be in better condition.

It was an easy check in and check out. We were early so they held our bags which was great. The room was nice and clean, comfy bed. My only issue was not enough plugs in the room, they were so far from the bed. Later in the evening the hot water stopped working but fixed 2 to 3 hours later.

This hotel was a mixed bag. The staff was amazing! When we got to our room, there was a very pungent floral scent that permeated the room. To the point that it would have caused headaches. We went and spoke with the front desk and they walked with us up to the room and then promptly found us another room. I found the pillows and bed comfortable, while my traveling mate found the bed very uncomfortable. The property was clean and tidy, but looked a little worse for wear in certain areas. The bathroom (the "Pod" as we called it), was about the size of a cruise ship bathroom, but was clean and served it's purpose. There were some bars in the area and with where our room was located, we could hear them into the night.

The staff was super friendly! We were upgraded at check in which was amazing but when we walked it we were curious as to what we were upgraded from because it did not seem like one. For the room we recieved at the rate we paid it was very upsetting. The bed was soooooo uncomfortable, outlets were inconveniently placed, and everything was just beat up and cheap. The photos looked way better than what was presented.
