"The breakfast is really great, even better than a hotel's, I ate so much every day, haha! 😂 Housekeeping isn't daily; they clean if you stay over a week. You need to bring all your own toiletries. For the single rooms, there are quite a few shared bathrooms, usually two or three rooms sharing one. Once you get used to it, showering and using the toilet aren't an issue. The free luggage storage is also a nice touch. Overall, it's excellent value for money!"

"The hotel is close to the city center, which was convenient. However, they didn’t provide shower gel, shampoo, or slippers — only one towel per person. So if you usually rely on the hotel for basic shower items, it’s better to bring your own. The room was also a bit dirty, but since the hotel also functions as a student dormitory, I can understand why the conditions may be more basic…"

"The hotel isn't far from Edinburgh Castle, about 5 bus stops away or an 8-pound Uber ride. The environment is really good. It seems to be a hotel associated with an exchange center at the University of Edinburgh, consisting of several three or four-story buildings. My room was in an older building next door, which had premium rooms. The room size was moderate, very clean and tidy, and the shower was comparable to a star-rated hotel in China. Facilities were complete, including a coffee machine. What's particularly worth recommending is the breakfast; it's Ă  la carte! You can choose from classic Scottish breakfast haggis sets, vegetarian haggis sets, and more. It's genuinely excellent; I almost wanted to extend my stay for a couple more days just to try everything, haha."

"My stay was perfect. I am an IHG members as well, they took my number and said that will add rewards to my account. I didn’t know it was possible, was never offered to me before by my previous IHG Hotel stays🥲 10mins to City Centre, staffs were lovely and courteous. Breakfast same as all Holiday Inn, there was a staff who would assist you to breakfast buffet and refill your water bottle if you ask. Room was small but clean and nice. I was offered for a greener stay (they won’t clean the room or change the sheet if I opted not to, my choice, in exchange 500points to my reward -we’ll see?) Bus station and Londis were few steps from the Hotel."

"The hotel room and bathroom were indeed too small; there wasn't even enough space to open a suitcase, so it had to be stored under the bed. The view outside the room was decent. The main advantage is the hotel's excellent location, right opposite Haymarket. You can walk almost anywhere, which is incredibly convenient, and there are bus stops right outside. The hotel breakfast was just so-so, with limited variety and options. It was a typical English breakfast, not bad. The reception service was mediocre, especially the male front desk staff who gave me the wrong room number twice, even though I showed him the room number written down. He seemed unbothered and unwilling to help."

"We had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. The location is a bit far from the main tourist attractions, but it was still manageable and didn’t significantly affect our trip. The room was comfortable and clean, and we appreciated the overall atmosphere. However, we did notice a few areas for improvement. One thing that stood out was the placement of the power outlets, which were quite far from the bed. It made charging our phones a bit inconvenient, as we had to sit at the table while waiting, especially when uploading photos and sharing our experiences. Despite these small inconveniences, we still enjoyed our stay. With a few minor improvements to the room amenities, the experience could be even better."

"The location was absolutely fantastic. You can easily enjoy all of Edinburgh's attractions within walking distance. I heard there's a charge for luggage storage, though. On the bright side, each bed had two USB ports, which was super convenient for charging. My only slight concern was that the bathrooms and toilets were shared by both men and women. I've only ever stayed in hostels with completely separate facilities, so that felt a little odd. However, overall, it was clean and the staff were really friendly, making my trip to Edinburgh wonderful! Thank you!"

In our room curtains weren't blackout, but we needed to up early anyway. And pipes in the bathroom.were particularly noisy. Even during the night time. The rest was great. You get everything you need for 1-2 night stay. Staff at reception were very friendly.and it was about 20 min walk to town center."

"I booked this hotel at a budget-friendly price compared to other options, and it was good value for the money. The room was clean, comfortable, and everything was well maintained. There were just a couple of small issues. The room had a wardrobe but no hangers, which was a bit inconvenient. The soundproofing was also not very good, so I could hear nearby guests opening and closing their doors. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, and I would recommend it if you're looking for a clean and affordable place to stay."

Hotel near Edinburgh Old Town,Edinburgh
We think you will agree that our location is perfect, but we all know it is what is on the inside that really counts. Our welcoming bar is stocked with a great selection of Scottish beers and spirits, our fiber Wi-Fi is free and speedy, and we have a beautiful outdoor courtyard for relaxing with a tipple - when the inclement Scottish weather behaves itself. And with a room upgrade option available, you will certainly enjoy plenty for your money at ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge.

"The hotel is very close to the University of Edinburgh, just a 3-minute walk away. It's a 10-minute walk to Waverley Station if you don't have luggage and can use the main stairs, but if you have heavy bags, it's about a 20-minute walk over the bridge. Rooms are not available until after 3 PM. The room size is small, the bathroom is tiny, and the room cleanliness is average, with dirty floors. The front desk staff were friendly and check-in was quick. Breakfast is served on the third floor, a standard English breakfast with decent quality dishes."
