"Staff here was amazing!!! They made us feel so welcome and it was very safe—I was traveling with my three children and it felt so safe and easy to be there."

"I would recommend this hostel to anyone needing to stay in the heart of The Royal Mile. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of five is because their wifi went out while I was staying in their lower level which has no connection to mobile networks at all. Which is another thing- I wish I'd known this was a possibility when I booked because I traveled alone and NEEDED to have connection back home (small female traveling alone). However when their wifi went out, I was able to eventually get someone to move my bunk to somewhere their wifi was working. For that, I am so thankful. It did take a little bit to find someone willing to help my situation. There was a moment where I was discouraged from moving. Their facilities are clean and well maintained. I felt safe here as access to any and all doors required a unique code to you. I wish there had been a sign or something letting me know they had towels for hire and where to get them. I ended up having to ask other guests. One of the best things about my stay was the staff. The general manager saw me alone and upset and went way out of her way to make me feel welcomed. All the night staff were amazing. They truly care about you and how youre feeling and all are just the friendliest in the world. Any bad stigmas about hostels should be disspelled here. You'll be safe, have anything you need and its so affordable too. Also very convenient that its connected to a bar/restaurant/coffeehouse. I'd definitely recommend and stay again."

"Nice location, Restaurants very close, hop on and hop off stop like 5 minutes walking distance . Hotel staff very helpfull and warm ."

"Great location, and is within walking distance to the train station. The room could use some work however. The bathroom door was warped and could not close. The shower sprays out onto the floor. There is a lack of shelf space, and no drawers, so you will live out of your suitcase. Very noisy with the sound of slamming doors and voices from other rooms. The staff were friendly though. "

"Nice and central. Shame the sauna was not working during our stay."

"Laundry in room was very convenient and they provided helpful instructional videos. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and tableware."

"The room was tidy and clean but in need of a little attention - I believe they are renovating at the moment. The food was good and the staff welcoming and helpful. We paid extra for a view and it was lovely. The bus stop was outside and made it easy and quick to get in and out of the city."

"Unfortunately, though the Ibis hotels as a concept aren’t bad, we had to wade through drunk locals to/from our hotel location. If you’ve a choice, stay at City Centre also, think “minimalist” — it’s affordable for a reason! But overall, you should only be in there to sleep, so it’s all good!"

"Good location and can't fault it. Able to get around Edinburgh really easily from the hotel."
