Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge

"We stayed at this hotel 1st to 5th October 2026. The hotel is well placed for visiting the Royal Mile but has one big problem in that it is next to a nightclub on the side of the hotel which overlooks Cowgate and which is described as having city views. The nightclub operates from 11pm to 3.30/4.00 am and we were kept awake every night by loud music and screaming and shouting despite the windows being double glazed. On complaining to the hotel we were given a tiny refund and advised that there has been a long-running dispute with Edinburgh City Council Licensing Standards about the noise. The City Council Licensing Standards also confirmed that there has been “a long history” of complaints about the nightclub from the Ibis but they are unable to do anything because the noise legislation does not apply to guests in hotels. The hotel will offer earplugs to guests in these rooms if you complain about the noise. We had asked for a quiet room and were placed above a nightclub which says something about customer care. The bedroom was very basic with a tiny toilet/shower which was all cheap white plastic and where you have to slam the door shut waking up the other person sharing the room. Very little table space to put anything down. Very overpriced for a basic bedroom - £1300 for 4 nights for a double bedroom. The only positive thing about this hotel was the breakfast. I would not recommend this hotel at all."

"From We received a warm welcome front desk staff. The hotel has an excellent location just off the Royal Mile, convenient to so many things. The room seemed unduly expensive but most other places don’t offer a room with two beds which was our requirement. The bathroom was very odd, seemed to be a pre-fab add-on to the room. But it worked fine and the room was clean and quiet."

"Very disappointing. We had a bad experience. The room was very dirty. They only made the bed and cleaned the bathroom very, very poorly. The breakfast was nothing special either, with the same things every day and very few sweet options. The only positive thing was the location. Other than that, I wouldn’t choose this hotel again."
