3-Star Hotels in Edinburgh

This stay was very pleasant. The hotel has a convenient location, close to the train and bus stations, with excellent surrounding amenities. There's a large shopping mall nearby, right next to Carlton Hill. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, although the soundproofing was slightly lacking, but acceptable. All the staff were warm, friendly, and provided excellent service. The only downside is that the elevator doesn't go to the top floor.

The hotel was conveniently located about 20 minutes from the airport by tram and about 15 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley by train. There is a large outlet mall with big supermarket names (Tesco, Aldi, etc) about 10 minutes away. Quite a convenient place to stay for a couple of days! Staff were really helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel!

There's no phone in the room, so you have to email if you need anything. Slippers aren't provided, and there's no complimentary bottled water in the room. You can get hot and cold drinking water from the self-service area on the 1st floor. Breakfast is the no-cook kind. There's a bus stop nearby, making it convenient for dining out and sightseeing. Edinburgh Castle is also within walking distance. The staff, however, are all very friendly.

This is a photo I took at my accommodation in Edinburgh. It was only about a one-minute walk from the station, and most of the main tourist attractions were nearby, which made getting around very convenient. The only surprise was that I didn’t realise it was a triple bunk bed when I booked it. I booked it without thinking much about the bed setup, so I was a bit caught off guard. As a result, I hit my head a few times! Other than that, everything was fine. Interestingly, the top bunk (third level) actually looked like the best spot.

Ibis, an economy hotel under the Accor Group, was chosen for its excellent location, the superb service provided by its staff, and the rich, high-quality breakfast it offers. The hotel is less than a ten-minute walk from the Royal Mile, making it very convenient for shopping and dining. Edinburgh's Old Town is small, so you can easily reach major attractions within about 30 minutes on foot without needing transportation. If you get tired midday, you can conveniently return to the hotel for a rest before continuing your explorations. The front desk staff processed check-in quickly and efficiently. A special commendation goes to the hotel for accommodating our needs on the last day. We had an early morning tour to the Scottish Highlands and wouldn't have made the regular breakfast time (breakfast is served after 7:00 AM). After discussing with the front desk, the hotel agreed to open the restaurant early for guests with special requirements. By 6:00 AM, everything was ready, offering bread, milk, coffee, yogurt, and other items, perfectly meeting our need for an early breakfast before our outing. Many thanks! 👍

From check in to check out we had a great experience. Free water bottle top up at reception and also free tea and coffee 24hrs. No kettle in room but this didn’t bother us. Breakfast next door in platform 5 was buffet style and the staff in there were great too. As seen in other reviews the hall carpets in the hotel are a little bit stained in places but the room was clean and functional and a lot bigger than we were expecting. All in all this is somewhere we would head back to if we visit Edinburgh again

The location is 100 points, and the facilities and cleanliness are also acceptable. The biggest problem is that it is very noisy after 11pm. Because there is a disco nearby, drunk people kept talking loudly on the street from 11pm to 3:00am. The room glass is not double-glazed, so it feels like being on the street. At 6am the garbage trucks were making a lot of noise when they were dumping garbage. Basically, if it wasn’t so noisy that I only slept for two hours on the first night, I would have definitely not been able to sleep at all the second night. The hotel provided ear plugs but they did not help at all. Hope they can switch the windows to soundproof glass. The location is excellent, and the facilities and cleanliness are acceptable. The biggest issue is the excessive noise after 11 PM. The nearby disco and nightclub open til 3:00am. from 11 PM to 3 AM, with drunk people talking loudly on the street. The room windows are not double-glazed, so it feels as if you are right on the street. At 6 AM, the garbage truck adds to the noise while collecting trash. Basically, if I hadn’t only slept for two hours due to the noise on the first night, there would have been no way to sleep at all on the second night. The hotel provides earplugs, but they are completely ineffective. I hope they can replace the windows with soundproof glass.

This location isn't in the very heart of Edinburgh, but it's only a 5-minute walk from Grassmarket, making it relatively quiet. It's about a 20-minute walk to the lively Princes Street. The only memorable thing about the hotel, and not in a good way, was the toilet: you had to press the flush button really hard and hold it down for a long time to get it to flush properly. The twin room was small; once you opened a large suitcase, there was hardly any space to walk around. Also, they don't provide disposable slippers, so make sure to bring your own.

Facilities: Though small, it has everything you need. Cleanliness: Decent, I didn't spot a single dirty spot. Environment: Not great value for money, but because of its location, it's right in the center of everything. Perfect! Service: The front desk staff were polite and courteous, not at all like those other hotels that are said to be ****** against certain groups. Surroundings: Supermarkets, Chinese restaurants, convenience stores, tourist attractions all around the hotel. A few hundred meters to the left is J.K. Rowling's café and the castle. The Milkman网红店 (Milkman internet-famous shop) is right outside, the train station is downstairs, and a bit further are Princes Street Gardens and the bridge connecting the old and new towns. Basically, everything is about 10 minutes away, except for the sunset view which is about a 20-minute walk.

The hotel is very well located in the heart of the city center. Everything is within walking distance. It's also easily accessible from the airport. The hotel was clean, the bedding comfortable, and the room pleasant. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We were able to get our room early as it was ready, but you can also leave your luggage there for free. We didn't experience any unpleasant odors as mentioned in some reviews, but it's true that the rooms aren't very airy.
