This hotel was our home base for two weeks as we checked in/checked out three times to stay between our multi-day Rabbie’s Tours of various areas in Scotland. It was super close to where we were to start and end each tour (right around the corner), served excellent breakfasts with multiple options, and was a relaxing, comfortable hotel with helpful, friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again if in the area. Superb!

Great hotel in a great central location

Hotel Indigo is a 10 minute walk from Waverley Station. The staff were very accomodating. The hotel has a cosy bar, serving good local whisky. The beakfast was very good. The hotel is situated in a perfect location for the theatre and shops. The Connan Doyle pub is 50 yards away and serves good food and cask ales.

The hotel staff were very attentive and friendly and let us check in earlier than advertised, after we asked if we could check in our bags. The included breakfast was top notch, with many different choices and cooked to order hot options! The room was clean, shower, bathroom and bed were good. We were given complementary items in our mini fridge which was a nice touch. Unfortunately the towel rail in the bathroom was on all the time which we thought was unnecessary. Some of the fixtures were loose and around one socket, there was sellotape holding the wallpaper together. The TV while a good size was very slow and unresponsive. I'm a bit disappointed based on the cost of the room.

Great little hotel

Lovely hotel with really friendly staff. Every member of staff we came into contact with was really welcoming and helpful. This hotel is a 2 minute walk from Picardy tram stop and a short walk to Princes Street and the Royal Mile. Also very close to the theatre and Edinburgh Street Food. So perfectly situated for us. The good sized room was clean, the bed super comfy and had the most fabulous shower. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will be back.

We arrived on the train so it was lovely that the hotel was only 5 minutes away from the station. The staff on reception were very welcoming and knowledgeable. Our room was beautifully furnished with the added bonus of the complimentary contents of the mini fridge being topped up every day. The breakfast menu was great and the food delicious (the only slight quibble here was the speed of service once it had been ordered). Finally, the hotel is in a great location: we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go.

City break in Edinburgh.

Room 211 was an excellent room. Felt cold but wasn’t sure how to work the air con.we put it up to 21.5 but still felt cold.A hot air fan was found in the wardrobe and helped. High ceilings a big high windows . Probably would have been ok normally but cold outside 9deg c. Service was excellent and the hotel staff were very helpful specially when my wife couldn’t find the iron that was hiding behind a shirt in the wardrobe. A replacement iron was used.Breakfast was top class and the breakfast room was lovely and warm and comfortable .The waiting staff were excellent and friendly.
