Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge

"Great location handy for sightseeing and theatre trips. Pleasant and welcoming staff. Room clean. Booked a premium but not premium standard. No sockets beside bed only a charger available in room which led to wires across floor. Only two towels in room, no hand towels. Shower pressure was good. Not much space at table due to amenities tray. Mattress hanging off end of bed and sheet barely able to fit mattress. Ocean view which contributed to very little noise in the evening."

"Despite the good location and the kind desk staff, the hotel cannot be saved. Old rooms, bad smell in the hallway, horrible cleanliness, stained curtains, and they didn't even make the bed. Very uncomfortable bed, broken-down mattress. Bathroom carved out of the room with an uncomfortable shower. Completely failed. Furthermore, it is also expensive! I absolutely do not recommend it."

"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."
