No AC, they have a “swamp cooler”, and remember you are near pubs, so it can be quite loud at night, overall a good, clean place and on the royal mile.

Great location! Easy to walk all around town. King bed was enormous and in a very small space. This made it tight to move around. Staff was friendly.

This hotel was just off the Royal Mile close to the train station and any shop you can imagine. It was a bit loud, but had a great vibe and a nice bar in the lobby.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at Ibis Hunter Square, and both times have been wonderful. It’s well located and had a friendly staff. The breakfast is not included, but the cost of it is certainly better than you’re going to pay at virtually any restaurant in the area. It’s not the most elaborate breakfast, but certainly works. We also loved their plan of giving you a 5 pound credit if you don’t have your room made up. We used the credits for breakfast and some ice cream at the bar.

The hotel was ok but could be better. Very small space in the rooms. The air/ heat controls in the room did not work. The expectation may have been to open the window. Not a good option due to street noise. No air movement and it was stuffy. The bathroom door was out of alignment and hard to close.

Was amazing, only a couple of little things that i could say were slightly negative. 1st one is the heating, got a little cold in the room and because of the heating setting had to get a portable heater from reception. 2nd one is the tv, as a recommendation i would have more choice of channels to watch. Staff were all absolutely lovely and nothing was a trouble to them.
