It was ideally located for the events I was attending over the weekend. The room was compact but had everything I needed in it. The thermostat in the room was adjustable which is a huge plus for someone who is always cold. The bed was comfortable and clean. Heard quite a bit of noise from other rooms whilst in the corridor but once inside my room, I couldn't hear a thing meaning I had a great sleep during my stay. The free tea and coffee plus facilities to cook your own food in the lounge/dining area is a lovely extra.

The water pressure in the shower was poor and I was advised that I'd be placed on the 1st floor as requested due to not being able to use lifts which I wasn't so that made getting up and downstairs with a heavy suitcase cumbersome. Otherwise, no complaints.

The hotel location is very convenient: there is a tram stop nearby, so you can have easy access to the city center as well as to the airport. The room was clean and well equipped for students' stay: the shower cabin is located directly in the room, which is a bit odd but usual for ibis budget hotels, as well as a sink. The air conditioning is working well, which allows to heat up the room a bit in winter. Mu for s and I enjoyed out 3 night stand there.

The hairdryer and kettle in the room could very a nice addition. Remark: Free tea and coffee are provided on the first floor, and you can bring the cups to your room and then return them back, which is quite nice. The automatic light in the toilet is unnecessary feature, since if you go to the loo at night, the light proceeds to be on extra few minutes which if there would be a usual switch, it will allow to reduce electricity consumption and remove discomfort of other people who could be woken up by the light.

The room was slightly small but adequate for the three of us – myself, my wife, and our son. The hotel is situated outside the city center, but there is convenient tram access to downtown. I purchased a 5-day family pass at the airport for £55, which allowed for unlimited travel during our stay. Complimentary tea, coffee, and water were available 24/7 in the lobby. The staff were very accommodating, and the room was not only clean but also serviced daily. There is a large supermarket located directly across from the hotel, offering very reasonable prices.

The weather was cold, and when I turned on the air conditioner, it initially blew warm air but then switched to cold, then warm again. The air conditioner fluctuated between blowing cold and warm air. I had little issue about heating.

So we came up to Edinburgh for the Xmas markets and to see this lovely city as had never been to Edinburgh before. Because we were flying and didn’t want to hire car we used the tram system. Took tram straight from airport to hotel. Then used the trams to get ourselves into city centre every day . If you want to be in heart of city this Hotel isnt for you as 7 miles out . But trans go every 7 mins. Breakfast was included and it’s continental so cereals , yogurts pastries , cheese , ham toast , butter , jams etc . They do have a small bar in the evenings and offer 12” pizzas . People also ordered just eat takeaways

Hotel is positioned between the airport and city center and close to the tram station (Gyle Center), so it's ideal to leave the luggage there (if you arrive before check in) and carry on with your trip to the city/pick up the luggage on your way to the airport. However if you plan a tram ride to the airport for an early flight, you should check the tram working hours. Currently they start running around 5:30 am. We had to leave for the airport before 5am and the kind receptionist ordered a taxi for us. Room was small and included 3 beds (one queen size - very comfortable and a bunk bed above), few shelves, hangers, a chair, toilet and shower. You should know that you step out of the shower straight into the room, which might get a bit awkward if you travel with friends. The blowdryer is available at the reception. Breakfast was basic. Toast, ham, cheese, jams, croissants and cereal along with coffee, tea and juices. It's a budget hotel as the name says, but we were around all day so shower, sleep and breakfast was everything we needed and received at the Ibis budget hotel. Would definitely come again.

Every guest receives one XL towel. I kind of missed the small ones.

When I choose the property I knew it was located far from the city, which I dont mind, as the transport links (Tram) it is just by hotel, £5 daily ticket for trams and busses or £10.50 for daily family ticket. The property was well maintained and continental breakfast was included in a price. Actually very nice hotel with comfy beds, great for price comparing to other hotels. The staff was friendly and rooms were clean.

The room is tiny, so wouldn’t recommend for long stays or with person who you dont know very well as toilet isn’t very private and there is no separate bathroom, just shower in the room, so my partner was a bit struggling to take a shower when our 8year old daughter was in a room, you literally go out from the shower to a room, sink is also in the room. Not much space for clothes and no place to hang wet towels after showering.

We booked this hotel because it was cheap and relatively close to Edinburgh city centre. The hotel was lovely and cosy. My fiancéé and I don't have any shame towards/with each other, so having the shower and toilet pretty much in the bedroom was not an issue for us at all. As regards cleanliness, staff, facilities - all fantastic!

It is about half an hour by car or public transport to get to the city centre, so that's worth bearing in mind. Depending on the length of your stay, it might be a bit much. I can also imagine that if you're travelling with a friend or parent, for instance, that the smaller double rooms are not exactly private enough; the toilet was literally behind a cubicle door, and the shower behind a glass one, just in the room. We didn't mind that at all (actually found it cosy), but if you don't want to see your mother in the shower...

The location is perfect distance from the airport and it’s easy to get to the city centre from the hotel as you are close to the tram stop and the bus stop. There is also a shopping centre nearby so if you don’t opt for breakfast at the hotel, you can pop into the shopping centre to get a quick snack from Morrisons or even the food court in the shopping centre. You were also able to hire out an umbrella for 24 hours for £2 or £20 to return it after 48hours. The room was perfect for me and my friends in terms of the beds but it wasn’t clearly explained before hand that the shower was separate to the toilet and sink and the shower was only hidden by a frosted door. So we had each had to take a turn in the room to shower which was quite inconvenient. The room was slightly tight however.

The downstairs toilet wasn’t clean sometimes. And I lost our umbrella and the t&cs for this were not clear. We were only charged the £20 for returning it after 48 hours but most of the staff did not know what the charge would be. Only one staff was finally able to help us.

Everything I expected for the price and location. Don't book a budget hotel if you have greater than budget expectations. Ibis deliver exactly what they promise, the hotel was clean, warm and offered everything required for a comfortable short stay.

The breakfast options were continental and quite basic; cereal, yoghurt, toast with some toppings, cheese and limited cold cuts, croissants. A hot selection and grab to go options would be a positive even for a supplementary charge.

- Compact, but still modern looking room, which was nice and clean when we arrived - The bunk bed weight limit is 120 kg, so it is quite massive, and it was also comfy - The continental breakfast was good enough for its price - The Old Town of Edinburgh could be reached with a tram in 20 minutes - Airport is really close, and also there is a gas station near the hotel - The parking was well managed (dedicated place only for ibis tenants; guiding signs provided for easy access)

- There was no heating system - Really missed the hairdryer (it was not mentioned in the description, but still, it would have come in handy)
