Hotel Ibis Edinburgh Center

Excellent location. Just off the Royal Mile in the Old Town. The Royal Mile is the connection from Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. The street offers a variety of small shops and various restaurants (Italian, Thai, Indian, pubs and many cafes). Most of the sights and shopping are within walking distance. Otherwise there was very good bus connections and plenty of taxis. Around the Britannia in the harbor are we visit by taxi and paid 10 pounds (with tips). The Britannia is integrated into a shopping center. In case you like shopping necessarily more time. On the Britannia there is a great cafe. The Princess-street is the large shopping malls and within walking distance. From the airport is £3.20 for up to Waverley Station and from there about a 5-10 minute walk to the hotel.

Very friendly and helpful staff. mostly spoke English, but some of the staff speak several languages. The small "bar" is with the front desk and therefore always occupied. The rooms are clean and well cleaned. We only noticed that was to wipe the tables in the lounge area a damp cloth taken with the same tissue and also the foot of the table was cleaned daily. Conclusion: The cleaning not by German standards. As we arrived very early and late left, was our suitcases at the hotel stored in a protected area.

The hotel is home to the breakfast area and bar/lounge. The cleanliness in the breakfast area is very bad. Breakfast will be accepted dishes: Different sorts of Kellogs, yogurt, fruit salad, fresh fruit, sausage, COLORLESS scrambled eggs, bacon, easy-seared tuna;, both sorts of toast, packed cheddar, 2 sorts of cold meat, baguette, croissants, red beans, jam, honey and nutella. With the drinks are apple and orange juice, tea as well as different sorts of coffee are available. The atmosphere is like in a cafeteria. We had breakfast be ordered, as it was reasonably priced and it is so nice and comfy. But in the surrounding area you will find a lot of choices.

We had two different sizes. A large on the street side and a small faced the back. But the equipment was almost identical. In the large room there was a small lounge. In the smaller a desk and chair. The rooms were clean, tidy and in a new condition. A direct dial telephone as well as a water heater with tea and coffee was available. Also all the rooms with an LCD TV with 5 english channel on the t.v and 3 radio stations. A hair dryer was free at the front desk. Unfortunately there are no closed closets but only two open shelves with an open rack. The bathrooms with soap, shower gel, shower mat and 2 bath towels. But the hotel was lacking a toilet brush. There was a possibility for some fresh air in the large room on the street side. outside window is from Einfachglas and room there is a plastic windows which however with 10 cm playroom is secured. The construction is a bit difficult to describe. But the rooms were both very quiet by street noise isolated but at the hotel itself was it noisy.

The value for money was just returned on the threshold. Objectively too expensive. The price in the bar are fine. The April this year was not the right month, as it was cold outside. Return we had no rain. In Edinbrough is relatively inexpensive holiday, as the pound bad. And you can in good erreichbarem room much.
