Ibis Hotel Royal Mile

Good location for those who want to sight-see on the Royal Mile, explore the Old Town and feel like they are in the thick of things at Festival time.

The castle is a few minutes walk up the hill, with the late night club-bars of the //cowgate, and pubs and restaurants of Royal Mile and the Grassmarket, nearby.

You can practically hit the National Library of Scotland (and Edinburgh Central Library) with a rock, and the National Museum of Scotland is a few minutes walk south.
