ibis budget Edinburgh Park

First experience of an Ibis budget hotel and we were very impressed. The rooms are, as you would expect, very compact, but they have everything you need. Very impressed that the floor was wood and stone rather than grotty carpets. The only downside is you have to get coffee etc in the lobby, which was a bit of a trapse back to the third floor - BUT its a budget hotel, so this is the compromise. The drinks were free, and there was a non dairy option for milk. We took our two wee dogs, and the charges for them were very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. All in all a really excellent experience

Budget accommodation for a reasonable price, downside is no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Kind of like a hostel for older people/families

Overall, its not bad especially for the price, quite comfortable bed with a shower, bathroom and toilet like a studio apartment except smaller size. I got a room thats for double occupancy + a climb up bed on top for the little one. Otherwise, really accessible to go to your room (elevator), dining area in the lobby with free coffee and tea and metal utensils/ceramic plates and microwave (if you choose to buy your own food at the supermarket and eat here). They also have a 24/7 pizza kitchen they make in the oven (£11.75 for 10” inch pizza). They also have disposable shaving kits for sale I think if you forget it. The location is really right next to the Tram station (2-5 min walk) that goes to the city centre and to the airport. Theres also a night bus stop to the airport if your flight is early in the morning. Cons of the room itself: -Toilet door looks like someone put plywood and made it as a outhouse type? anyways it was functional with privacy, why no sliding door?? also too close to the main door -Shower door.. why no sliding door!??? this huge door to open is outdated. Get sliding doors to save space -No specific space near the door to put dirty shoes, all the same tile flooring -No closet but small functional hangars -Table too small -No Refrigerator but thats most functional hotels (sometimes not needed but required for some people with chilled, prescribed medication for storage during travel). Otherwise, good rooms and service, would book again
