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.

Excellent location, clean but lacking...

Liked: location was excellent and it was very clean. Reception staff were very friendly, but sometimes seemed overworked, always very polite and helpful though.
Disliked: Was on the top floor and view was a white wall, disappointed with that as I'm sure the view would have been wonderful. I was expecting there to be more food available at the hotel, but I do appreciate that as the location was so central most people would eat out. The meeting area, where you sat / could have drinks felt like a small canteen - rather uninviting, would have been much nicer to have a bar like feel. Pretty much no storage room in the bedroom and room was extremely small.

3-star hotel experience, central location...

Liked: The location was central and close to popular restaurants and lively entertainment. Helpful, friendly staff.
Disliked: We spent two weeks traveling across the country. I felt this hotel was overpriced. We spent less to stay at a historic castle property. I expected more of a boutique experience for the rate charged.

Liked: Breakfast was nice, but I would expect some more changes in the food spectrum....( I have stayed all together in two Ibis hotels 10 nights and the food was same all the time).The hotel is in the real centre, so you do not need any public transport.

Would highly recommend this hotel....

Liked: Hotel is located right next to the Royal Mile. Everything was within walking distance. Breakfast was very good and a good deal. Room was all we needed. Only a 10 minute walk from the Edinburgh Tram stop (transportation used from airport).
Disliked: Only negative was the lack of AC, but that wasn't every night.

Secure hotel for single travellers...

Liked: Central location. Good breakfast. Nice staff. Felt secure.
Disliked: Bathroom sink was dirty on arrival. Bathroom door was on a strong rebound which meant you couldn’t leave it open when you were listening to the news on TV when getting ready in the morning.
