ibis budget Hotel Edinburgh Park

The room was clean and tidy. It matches the budget room expectations, Staff was helpful and friendly. The location is good as it is near the airport and it is easily reachable by public transportation (Tram). it was easy to check in and check out. we have also left our luggage until the check in time which was 15:00. it is also close to the city center by tram. So in short, location was good, Clean and nice room and has everything needed for a short stay.

There's a lot to like about this Ibis property on the tidy outskirts of Edinburgh and next to the airport, although you would not know that given the hotel's calm and quiet. Rooms are small but bright and exceedingly functional; mine offered a transverse bunk bed atop the main one which is perfect for couples with a child or if you are traveling as a trio. The hotel is popular with outdoorsy types; i.e. hikers and kayakers, due to its proximity to the natural wonders of Scotland (including Pentland Park 12 miles away, where I treated myself to an impromptu hike on my drive back to London). But there were plenty of urban tourists and business folk like me in residence too -- the property is for everyone. Carpark-wise there is a £5-per-day one literally outside the front door and so for guests who arrive by their own vehicle it is straightforward 15-minute trip to downtown Edinburgh (where hotels cost 2x what this Ibis does). And for those like me who work for NatWest, or have business with NatWest, you can literally walk to its leafy Gogarburn world headquarters next door. Wifi is sharp and high-fidelity while the lobby breakfast is basic but tasty; water is piping hot with good 24-hour pressure, including mornings. Lastly, the staff were lovely as I got to meet all 3 shifts during my 2-night stay. They went beyond the call of duty, with deputy managers Ewa and Irina even resolving a reservation error in my favor, one of my own doing wherein I had accidentally booked for the wrong bank holiday Monday in May. Very few hotels and even fewer chains will do that when a guest mismanages the non-refundable selection within Booking.com. So give these guys your custom the next time you’re in Edinburgh and want something clean and bright without the commotion of George Street or the Castle District (but with quick and easy access to both of these tourist draws). Even their keys are cool!

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.

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

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!
