Every now and then a mid-range hotel earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, ibis Styles Edinburgh St Andrew Square, in New Town, is one of those. The setting is part of the appeal, within an easy walk of the city centre, and the location score sits in strong territory because of it. Rooms feel practical; the touches travellers mention most are reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant, and the comfort feedback has been broadly positive. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 6,500 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €264 a night, which lands as a middle-of-the-road option for the city. The honest read on ibis Styles Edinburgh St Andrew Square is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Edinburgh names rather than a headline of its own.
