ibis budget, the simple, casual brand from the ibis family opens in Edinburgh offering guests essential comfort at a budget price. This new hotel offers 161 triple, double or twin cocoon-like rooms, all displaying the very comfortable Sweet Bed™ by ibis budget. Designed with comfort features such as cosy duvets, touch sensitive lights and spacious shower facilities as well as practical elements including living space, luggage storage and a 26 inch flat screen TV, the rooms deliver the flexibility, freedom of movement and well-being that are central to the brand’s thinking.

Additional gadgets such as LED diffusing lights in the shower, media docks where Xbox and other gaming items can be plugged in and relaxing colours ensure that ibis budget delivers a unique experience in the budget hotel segment.

The ibis budget Edinburgh Park hotel provides lively social areas where guests can eat, relax, work and browse the internet. The brand focuses on optimising communal areas in order to provide guests with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The 24-hour reception service ensures that visitors are welcomed no matter what time they check-in or out. Snacks and refreshments are available around-the-clock thanks to the hotel’s self-service snacking area, which provides hot and cold food and drinks. For those who want a little more than light snack there’s an all-you-can-eat continental breakfast available each morning, for a small cost, which provides guests with a range of healthy and indulgent options. These no frills solutions are designed by ibis budget for customers who want autonomy and authenticity for a fraction of the price.

This new hotel provides the perfect destination for a city break with the city tram just five minutes’ walk from the hotel. It is also located only a 15 minutes’ walk from Edinburgh Park train station with regular trains into the heart of the city centre every 20 minutes 7 days a week. Alternatively business guests can guarantee easy access to Edinburgh city centre and walking distance to Edinburgh Business Park.

Commenting on the opening of the ibis budget Edinburgh Park hotel, Inge Van Ooteghem, SVP Economy & Budget hotels Accor UK and Ireland said: “We are very excited to open this ibis budget hotel in Edinburgh. The hotel is perfect for people who need a budget place to stay which is ideally located to go out and explore the city. We look forward to welcoming our guests here.”
