This place is adequate for a single nights stay, but beyond that it would be terrible. The location is straight up inconvenient. During the Fringe festival it was a nightmare. People hanging out in front of the front door while we were trying to drag in our luggage. Parking is a good 6 minute hike to a garage. The room was absolutely tiny. It’s just like Microtel. The room was clean and the beds were fine, but the amenities in the room were lacking. No tissues, hand towel or facecloths. No a/c. No luggage rack, probably because the room is so small you can barely walk by the beds. Positives were that it had an elevator even though it was tiny. Breakfast was good. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Great location Clean and Comfortable
I came up for The Fringe and it was amazing to be in such a central location. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. My shower did block, but it was sorted out very quickly. My only complaints are, there weren't nearly enough sockets especially by the bed. Also for the price 2 x teabags and 2 x coffee sachets seemed a little frugal. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable

Overbooked
We arrived to find out they had overbooked the hotel (aka gave our room to someone else). They offered to send us to another hotel across town however this was not something we could do. They eventually put us in a room with a tiny twin bed and the room was also much smaller than the one we had paid for. They refused to provide any compensation for the downgrade in room. They did not show any empathy.

The location was outstanding. We had room 108 facing the back. With the windows closed, it was surprisingly quiet. The room was quite small, we had two narrow twin beds, pushed together, and only one spot to put a suitcase (on the desk). There's a makeshift closet in the corner which looked cool but took up valuable space, holding a spare blanket and the hair dryer. There was one plastic chair at the desk and a bench on the side too narrow to hold the other suitcase. Finding a spot for the second suitcase was awkward and we had to climb over it no matter where we put it.There was no room between the beds and one bed was very close to the wall. There was a plug on the desk to charge multiple phones. I didn't find an outlet next to the bed. There were three towels and a bath mat.The staff was friendly, everything was was clean, the hotel itself was modern, the (free) wifi worked and we had a nice stay. I would recommend it, just prepare to be scrunched or leave the other suitcase at home.

This hotel is situated right in the heart of the Royal Mile. It was within walking distance to the train station, Edinburgh Castle, the bus station and lots of restaurants. When we first arrived, we were worried about the street noise, but they have double windows that completely blocked out all of it. While we were in Europe we stayed in five different properties in different countries and the staff here were the absolute best in answering questions and assisting with our needs. The biggest downside to this property is the bed. It was so hard it was like sleeping on a concrete floor with a sleeping bag for a mattress.

Not for me
This was my first tie at an Ibis. it will be my last. I do understand this is a “lower budget” hotel. I accounted for that. But it was very loud almost 24 hours a day.. the food at breakfast was not good (i did one day.. did not go back)… and it was the most uncomfortable bed i have slept in in a long time. This is not the place for me. It was centrally located which is why i picked it. And the people were very nice…. I am sorry it was not more pleasant

A perfect hotel if you want a location in the heart of Old Town Edinburgh. Not so great if you want parking anywhere near the hotel at anything near a sensible (additional) cost, or a bath or a fridge or room to swing a cat or dont like bagpipes or other noise / anti-social behaviour immediately outside the premises.
