ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile

8/10 Good

"Convenient and smooth checking and check out, good location."

Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

"The location of the hotel was very good for access to the railroad. Our room, while adequate, had no natural light. Each window looked out on a very close by building. The lobby area was nice for relaxing, but chilly. The neighborhood is hilly, but has lots of options for food and shopping."
