Ibis Budget Hotel Edinburgh Park

Worth the price.

Very small room. Not very clean.

The location of this hotel is fantastic. We stayed in Oct. 2019 and there is a tram stop, which we used daily into Princes Street for a total cost each (return) of £3.20. With the free parking option at the hotel this works perfectly for sightseeing etc. The hotel states "budget" and that is what you get, a very small room with very basic amenities, but once you get your head around that - there is no issue really - you get what you pay for I guess. The toilet door is just a very flimsy piece of plywood that doesn't go all the way up to the top - so not a lot of privacy there!!! The shower is next to the bed with glass door, so as long as you a sharing with people who you are "familiar" with - no issues!!! The extra bed in our room was a bunk bed above the main bed. No wardrobe, just a couple of hooks/knobs in the room to hang coats onto, so you can't really unpack properly. And not really enough room to "swing the cat - so don't pack him"!!! LOL But as I said you get what you pay for. The parking is free, the staff were friendly and helpful and there is a lift to all floors. There was a vibe in the downstairs bar/café - which was well used, even though we didn't eat there. No tea or coffee making area in your room, but you can go down to this part of the hotel and make yourself a drink and bring it up to your room for free - so again not really too much of an issue. If you wanted to stay for just one/two nights - and not expecting the Ritz - perfect. We used it very similarly to a B & B - out all day and just came back when exhausted from walking/sightseeing all day.
