Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile enjoys a fantastic location right on the Royal Mile, making it convenient for visiting many of Edinburgh's main attractions and with easy access to the train station. Guests appreciate the modern feel and the availability of a full English breakfast, though some have noted that the rooms can be on the smaller side. Having a kettle in the room for making coffee is a plus for many, and there are also options for purchasing drinks and pizza at the reception bar.

mediocre stay near the royal mile

high noiserepetitive breakfast
The noise level from outside was pretty high. Earplugs became my best friend. the room itself felt cramped, even for a solo traveler such as myself. i requested a quiet room but apparently, that request vanished into thin air.. also, the breakfast was quite repetitive. i would have appreciated some variety after a few days.

supreme locationhelpful stafffriendly staffparking situation
I found the location supremely convenient. It was very close to the Royal Mile. I also appreciated the friendly and helpful staff. They were always ready to assist with any questions I had.
I noticed the parking situation required a short walk to a separate parking garage. This aspect was a little inconvenient.
