The Spotlight on Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge

Comfort Meets Convenience in Edinburgh's Old Town

Modern, budget-friendly, and right in the heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, the Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge is a smart choice for music lovers visiting the city. Just a 5-minute stroll from Waverley Train Station and steps from the buzzing Royal Mile, this hotel places you close to iconic venues and local nightlife. With crisp, clean rooms, free WiFi, and a cozy bar and restaurant, it's all about comfort and location.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a short walk from major music venues and public transport, this hotel makes getting to and from shows a breeze. The 24-hour front desk and 12:00 late check-out are perfect for post-show sleep-ins. Despite being in the lively Old Town, rooms are soundproofed enough for a good night’s rest. The central location also means easy access to late-night buses and taxis.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to gigs and wanting to explore Edinburgh’s nightlife
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples looking for a cultural weekend escape
  • Fans who want a quieter place to recharge after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to skimp on location

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves international cuisine until late, ideal after an evening show. The bar is a relaxing spot for a pre-show drink or midnight snack. While there’s no 24/7 room service, you’ll find plenty of nearby eateries within walking distance, and the hotel offers breakfast that hits the spot the morning after.

Nightlife Options

Being so close to the Royal Mile and Grassmarket, you’re never far from lively pubs, cocktail bars, and music lounges. While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, its bar is a laid-back spot to wind down, and you’ll be surrounded by local nightlife within minutes.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s unbeatable location and say it’s excellent value for money. Many mention the helpful staff, comfortable beds, and how easy it is to reach key venues and tourist spots. Reviewers also appreciate the cleanliness and modern style of the rooms.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms aren’t huge and may feel a bit snug for longer stays. Also, while soundproofing is decent, light sleepers might still hear occasional street noise — pack earplugs just in case!

The Bottom Line

If you're coming to Edinburgh for the music and want a clean, central, and affordable place to crash, Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge ticks all the right boxes.

Room was poor value for...

Liked: Staff friendly and close the the royal mile
Disliked: Bed too narrow, only 1 pillow (noticed other on top of wardrobe next day), too basic for the expensive price paid. It was like an easy hotel with no proper bathroom or table with mirror to put makeup on etc), only a bit of bench to sit on tucked in the corner under a bench, no chair. Noise /loud music from nearby pubs till early hours, noise from hotel moving luggage along the paving outside our window at the crack of dawn. Sorry

Perfect location, super friendly staff...

Liked: We were on the top floor and had a view of Arthur's seat! It was beautiful and the room was a nice size. Staff were also really friendly and we loved that we could leave our bags before and after the stay!
Disliked: The windows not opening and the water temperature in the shower not being consistently hot, but it wasn't an issue for us!
