ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel is centrally located with an easy walk around old town and to the castle. Would not recommend getting a rental car, no parking! We only purchased the breakfast buffet when we wanted it, and it was good. Staff was extremely helpful and always around, especially to hail a taxi, Uber was not that timely and the taxi fare was fair, if not cheaper."
