Eat & Drink
The à la carte Foggs restaurant prepares vegetarian dishes. Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge - Royal Mile Hotel invites guests to have a drink at a lounge bar.
“I find this hotel to be a practical choice for exploring Edinburgh's Old Town, with its central location placing you steps away from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. The on-site bar, with its live music, definitely adds to the hotel's vibrant atmosphere, though some past guests have noted noise disturbances. While the rooms are basic, the hotel's pet-friendly policy is a definite advantage for travellers with dogs.”

the noise at night was awful. i heard loud music from the bar downstairs until the early hours, which prevented me from getting a good night's sleep. i also constantly heard sirens, cars, buses, and people shouting. loud banging noises from other rooms were an issue too.
