Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AThis hotel is part of the chain of Ibis hotels. The multi-level building blends seamlesly and almost unobtrusively in the neighborhood older buildings. Our impression: The hotel is older and at least updated. Entrance and front desk are clean and well maintained. The rooms lead to two elevators, called the with the room card (which unfortunately more bad than good worked - ten Tries were no rarity). We experienced mostly older, average crowd. The typical business tie and leg we didn't see any. Breakfast is not included, but is £5.50 for use with advance notice. The accomodation was in our case comparably cheap.
Location
For the Städteerkundung from Edinburgh this hotel is centrally located in a prime location - almost all places of interest are for you're able bodied within walking distance. If you arrive by plane you can access the Airlink bus 100 (19 ) take airport bus stop - costs £6 with a Rückfahrticket time (also for the night bus) can be used. Journey time: approximately 25 minutes. From the bus stop at the station Weaverly depending on the condition five to ten minutes walk (Please note: slope/stairs). In the near vicinity there are among a subway store (closed in the evening! ), Pizza Hut as well as various pubs and bars. Also a drugstore is situated within close proximity. Various supermarkets are in about five to ten minutes walking distance (U. A. Tesco, Lidl). The location at the arterial road (A7) as well as in a artery on the Royal Mile, however a considerable noise - by cars, buses, trucks and many jaulende AMBULANCE vehicle and at night by drunken shouting ... For this reason there was sadly deduction from the otherwise really touristy good location.
We have a very friendly and hassle free check-in and check-out. A towel was brought to our room straight away. Although we have to deduction for the room service. The dirty sheets - despite the spot extra immense up was filmed - just turned over. After our complaint was the sheets were changed - and was sadly also dirty (more later under rooms). Complaints were handled within 15 minutes and fixed supposedly - else there is a night for free.

Room
Our room was the biggest disappointment of the stay - and the reason we would not recommend this hotel. The decor is Ibis typical simple, no problem. Though there were hairs in the bed and large (! ) Stains on (see also service)! The shower was in the tile grouting deutlichst the mold is recognized (and this guarantees not only yesterday)! The flush spotty. The carpet was worn and stained. The sound insulation to the outside was as good as none - traffic noise and night dips fighting....come this hotel from drunks (during the week! ) just blew us as well as the sleep like the temperatures. As the "air conditioning" is not such that it can depending upon ambient temperature in roomtemperatures of about the only (and it's so easily customizable noted in the owner's manual). The bed is very hard - a simple plywood board with a Marvelous foam matttresses. A TV with a few English speaking channels and an Italian music channel were available. There is also pay TV. The view from the window allowed the view of the immediate homes in the neighborhood as well as parts of the mountain "Arthus-Bertrand Seat". A water heater with tea/coffee was available.
Tips and recommendations
If you had a room to straßenabgewandten demands that could avoid noise. There is not a hair dryer in the room, but can be hired at reception free. For the use of pay-TV (movies, EROTIC & Co. ) and the internet is a 24 -h-flatrate £9.99 for use. The weather in Edinburgh can change every few minutes - by the lovely sunshine up to bold rain. Also for example during our stay was almost always a strong wind. Be prepared to be Kleidungstechnisch. Edinburgh is from various low cost airlines (e.g. B. Germanwings, Ryanair) from Germany connected this place ... it's worth the wait on Preisaktionen outside of holiday periods, if possible. Don't be afraid supposedly bad flight times - buses 24 with reasonable to very good frequencies. Highly recommended is the visit to the Edinburgh Zoo, roughly halfway between the airport and the city center (by bus). Important: bus driver (except at the airport only abgezähltes) take money, so change.
