The Spotlight on ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile - Hunter Square

Stay in the Heart of Edinburgh’s Music Scene

Modern and vibrant, ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile - Hunter Square puts you right in the middle of the city’s historic charm and buzzing nightlife. Tucked just off the iconic Royal Mile, this stylish hotel offers contemporary comfort within walking distance of top music venues, pubs, and Edinburgh Waverley Station. Whether you're here for a headline show or a weekend music getaway, this hotel delivers location and ease in equal measure.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Edinburgh Waverley Station just a 5-minute walk away, getting to and from gigs couldn’t be easier. Concert-goers love the central location, meaning you can stroll to many venues or hop on late-night transport. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for such a central spot, offering a peaceful retreat after the encore. The hotel also offers late check-out at 12:00 PM, giving you time to sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun, central base
  • Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans who want to be close to the action, but enjoy a quiet room to relax in
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value location and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s 24-hour bar is perfect for post-show snacks and drinks, serving light bites and beverages in a modern space. The all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet with fresh coffee, fruit, and pastries is ideal for recharging after a late night. While there’s no formal restaurant, you're surrounded by walkable eateries offering everything from pub grub to global cuisine.

Nightlife Options

You’re in the thick of it here—bars, traditional pubs, and live music venues are all within a quick stroll. Whether you're after a cozy whisky bar or a lively club, the Royal Mile area delivers. The hotel bar provides a relaxed pre- or post-show hangout with a modern vibe and drinks on tap.

What People Say

Guests rave about the unbeatable location, noting how easy it is to walk to attractions, venues, and transport links. Reviews also highlight the friendly staff, clean, modern rooms, and the surprisingly good sound insulation despite the central location. The breakfast is frequently praised as well worth it, especially for late risers.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the cozier side, so if you're traveling with lots of gear or in a big group, space may feel snug. Also, while there’s no full-service restaurant, the 24-hour bar and nearby dining spots more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want to be smack in the center of Edinburgh with easy access to venues, transport, and nightlife, ibis Edinburgh Centre Royal Mile - Hunter Square hits all the right notes.

Perfectly serviciable - price/value ratio...

Liked: The hotel was ideally situated just off of the royal mile, well placed for visiting all of the major attractions. The bed was comfortable and the room was adequate. The breakfast was nice with a pancake machine and a good mix of continental and cooked options.
Disliked: The price was over 1000 pounds due to the fringe so perhaps this isnt a fair assesment of ordinary rstes however it was not worth the amount we spent. The staff initially made a mistake putting us in the wrong type of room (twin instead of double). The airconditioning in the room is labled as a control unit which only maintains temperature at 20 degrees. I prefer a colder room especially given the august heat, and so this was a disappointment.
