ibis budget Hotel Edinburgh Park, hotel in Edinburgh

An 8-minute drive from Edinburgh Airport, ibis Budget Hotel Edinburgh Park lies just off the City of Edinburgh Bypass and 30 minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Park Train Station.

The staff were very nice, and accommodating, thats about the best part. There was no hand towel, no hairdryer. I had to ask for hairdryer and he wanted me to bring it back. I said but it’s for in the morning. He said ok keep it, but first hotel without a hair dryer in the room. We had a twin room and it was cramped beyond belief. You had to turn away from the shower because it’s right next to the bed, with a mirror that can see who’s in the shower. No privacy at all from another person. The bathroom door was plywood? About 1/4” thick with magnetic closure. It was pretty quiet in room 1. Breakfast was just cereal and bread, no eggs, waffles, bacon. Just bread, canned peaches. Not close to anything historic, had to rent a bolt driver to get us places, or take the bus. We will never stay here again, best thing again was the staff.

FAQs about hotels in Edinburgh









A Feast for the Senses

A city of heritage, heart and of course Hogmanay, Scotland’s capital is vibrant and edgy. Whether or not you come for one of its many festivals, Edinburgh is quite simply a feast for the senses.

The wealth of Edinburgh sights ranges from Holyrood Palace to the Botanical Gardens, Princes Street to the Royal Mile. Overseeing them all is majestic Edinburgh Castle. Be there at sunset on a clear day to see the city below bathed in a warm, orange glow. Simply stunning.

Wandering the streets, the smell of fish and chips wafts by, with the unique twist of salt ‘n’ sauce – a must-try variation on this favourite dish. Follow it up with a smooth whisky and you’ll start to feel like a local.

For a taste of Scottish culture, a kilt-wearing busker often plays the bagpipes on Waverley Bridge, while traditional folk music can be heard in some Old Town pubs. Complete your stay with a rugby match at Murrayfield or a round at one of the city’s 14 golf clubs, and you’ll have the true Edinburgh experience.

Whether you are looking for hotels near Edinburgh Airport or accommodations in the city center, Booking.com has a great range to choose from.

    Edinburgh Castle was so incredible the view the number of Guides and their knowledge. Everyone in the city was welcoming and patient. The highlight for me was St.Giles Cathedral. Even the teenage boys were overwhelmed by the size and beauty. It’s a must! There were street performers and folks promoting an Owl Rehab Center the owls were so huge and you could hold them. The good was standard and usually cafeteria style. Always found a pretty good Espresso. I missed Market Day and I missed Hollyrood which was closed for a Royal Visit

    We stayed two nights in Edinburgh and were able to see various things such as climbing Arthur’s Seat, Edinburgh Castle, Saint Giles Cathedral, Calton Hill, Royal Mile and visited various pubs and restaurants. A little more time might have been nice, however leaving that for next time. The city was full of life and the sun and warmth had people enjoying being outside. People from all parts of the world can be found in the city - quite wonderful. As to Edinburgh Castle, if you like castles it may be worth the visit but it was inundated with tourists and there was a long line-up to see the royal jewels (outside the building) which we did not partake in. Interesting historically but nothing terribly special to see is our thinking.

    Edinburgh is probably one of the most beautiful cities to visit in the UK. In general, I suggest going thorugh the streets of the city centre, visit the castle and all that area, and enjoying all the history of the city. I love also doing shopping in Edinburgh and there are so many places to eat amazing food from all the countries. There are many ways to go around thorugh the different parts of the city, for example bus or taxi or simply walking.

    The city is wonderful.

    The city is wonderful. It is so clean and the roads and streets are wide and open. I would recommend the Royal Mile and the Castle. We had a great visit to the Vaults under the city with a superb guide Darren from Auld Reekie Tours. Another beautiful place to visit is Dean Village. The key tourist areas were busy but accessible, apart from being full of selfie taking obsessives who seemed oblivious to traffic and fellow pedestrians. The Tram to the airport was cheap and quick (£7.50)

    We had a very helpful and warm welcome at reception, the parking is so convenient too, especially for being in Edinburgh city centre. The hotel was very central too and was a 5 min walk from princes street. The room was a castle view room- it was spotless, had a stunning view, and was very spacious. We also were provided with complimentary slippers and robes. The bar was lovely too with good drink options, we didn’t get a chance to eat in the restaurant but we will the next time.

    The location was great, only a few mins drive into the city centre with buses every few mins, including one to and from the airport (only takes 10 mins). The staff were so helpful and friendly and the accommodation was stunning. Everything was so clean and comfortable. When we had a problem, they sorted it straight away and ensured we had the best stay possible. I’ve been to Edinburgh several times in the past and this was the best property I’ve stayed at, hands down! This includes a number of chain hotels.
