What guests think

ibis Styles Edinburgh St Andrew Square draws praise for its central, walkable location near trams and Waverley Station, friendly staff, and an included continental breakfast that many find generous, with compact, modern rooms and powerful showers.

Common trade-offs are very small room sizes and limited storage. Breakfast can be crowded and, while generally well liked, lacks hot options and can feel inconsistent. A few guests noted exterior scaffolding, occasional noise, or sporadic service or housekeeping lapses. Expect a central, good-value base with style and convenience.

Great restaurants in the area and a short walk to the Royal Mile. The only thing I would have liked was an in room safe - if there was one, I couldn’t find it.

Can’t beat the location! Property was clean, breakfast was great. Room was small but not unusual in Europe. Construction going on on facade of building and loud banging around 8 am. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay in Edinburgh.

We had an amazing stay- the bed is so comfy, the room is functional and theshower was 10/10 ( hot & with very good pressure). There are lots of plug sockets, conveniently placed around the room, a kettle in the room and a decent hairdryer, which truly makes the difference! Breakfast was good for a complimentary breakfast, though nothing out of this world. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Live music is performed on Fridays in the bar which was a nice touch, but we couldn't hear the music from our hotel room which was even better! The room itself was stylish and the bathroom was clean and very pretty. We were so pleased with the hotel and would absolutely stay here again.

Went for a birthday weekend. The reception staff were polite and friendly, had a reply to every question. The room was lovely, meet all our requirements. Great night sleep. I can't describe how helpful the reception staff was with helping us make the best of our stay. At one point we were about to miss your Ghost Bus Tour and the staff made it happen by ordering us a taxi. The ability to store our luggage after checking out made the rest of the day in Edinburgh worry free. Thank you Ibis and staff, yours Dom.

On arrival we were ignored by staff as both of them were already in a dispute with a customer who believed they had paid on booking but hadn't. not a good sign. When I was acknowledged the staff member just tapped away on the computer, she asked me if id changed dates. I had no idea what she meant. This went on for sometime. It got to the point where i asked if there was a problem. A 2nd member of staff just conceded there admin query was irrelevant and gave us a room key on the ground floor. She then states theres live music until 2300hrs on Thursday. We soon changed room after lunch as due to the music comment and the appalling street level view of an alleyway covered in graffiti. 5th floor was fine. rooms are a bit pokey but fine for sleeping for 3 nights. Ibis styles defo wont be my on list next time.

Perhaps the sort of place to stay if you’re 25-35, have tattoos, and say “like” and “literally” in every sentence. Not the place for a 70 year old fart. My choice, my fault. Breakfast (if you could call it that) was awful - the smoked salmon (shredded into tiny pieces) tasted off and the scrambled eggs had the consistency of foam rubber. Inane artwork everywhere. Bed was comfortable and the shower excellent. Must be something about hotels in St Andrews Sq - tried the Malmaison a while ago- an explosion of black paint! SG
