Find 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.

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.

A comfortable two‑night stay with friendly service, clean rooms, and a relaxing atmosphere. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, and the staff were consistently helpful. Overall, a pleasant experience with good amenities and smooth check‑in. Would happily return for another short break.

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!

Even though it was a dormitory bed, the partitions and individual charging outlets and lamps made it very comfortable. There's no kitchen, but they have a 'chillest room' with a kettle and a sink, which I found very useful. Its location in the old town is perfect for sightseeing. Highly recommended!

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! 👍

The Hotel has modern decor, a nice atmosphere, and is neat and clean. The room is a bit small, but it's comfortable and ok for a short stay. It's well decorated and tidy. It's a bit far from the center, about a 20-minute walk, but it's very convenient to travel by the tram, which stops in front of the hotel, only 5 mins reach the center. There's only 1 tram in the city. If you come by train, getting off at Waverley Station, you walk to the Waverley Market, the Princess Street exit, and you can get on the tram to the hotel, getting off at the Haymarket stop, very very convenient. As I'm Thai, I met a Thai staff member at the reception, and he's very nice, friendly, and helpful. I will certainly come back to stay here if I come to Edinburgh again. Edinburgh is so beautiful, like a fairy tale.

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.

Excellent Location, but Serious Security Lapses I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a bit of a mixed bag. While there are some undeniable perks to the property, a few significant service and security issues made for a rather unsettling experience. The Highlights Prime Location: This is easily the hotel's strongest suit. It’s situated right next to Haymarket station, and there is a bus stop literally just outside the front door. Getting into the city centre takes no more than 10 minutes, making it a perfect base for exploring. Commendable Service: The reception team provided a decent welcome. I’d like to give a special mention to Shreyas, who was incredibly helpful and professional throughout our interactions. Quality Dining: We ate at the on-site restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. The food was of a high standard, and the waitstaff were attentive and friendly. Room Maintenance & Tech Issues Unfortunately, the shine started to wear off once we settled into the room: Housekeeping Oversights: Despite this being a multi-day stay, the complimentary water bottles were never replaced after the first day. Faulty Tech: The in-room tablet was practically useless. It kept restarting due to a battery fault; ironically, it even cut out while I was trying to use it to contact reception. Privacy Concerns: When we requested extra toilet roll, the staff member who delivered it attempted to walk straight into the room using their key, rather than knocking and waiting for us to answer. It was a complete breach of basic hospitality etiquette. A Major Security Concern The most distressing part of the trip occurred on our second day. Upon returning to our room in the evening, we were shocked to find the main door open. It appears the cleaning staff had failed to secure the door after finishing their rounds. Finding your hotel room left open to the public is, quite frankly, scary. It’s a massive security fail that overshadowed the rest of the stay. While the location is brilliant, the hotel desperately needs to tighten up its staff training and safety protocols. Would I stay again? Only if I were certain that the security and maintenance issues had been addressed.

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.
