The one issue is that a taxi cannot pick you up or drop you off outside the property. But staff are happy to call a taxi and it collects you avout 100 metres away at the corner.

This place worked great for our overnight in Edinburgh. Staff at check in was very helpful. We had a 4am leave to the airport and they set up a taxi for us - no problem. Easy walk to tons of pubs and restaurants. Room we had was small but we were only there for a few hours so no big deal.

GREAT hotel... except...

I really like the my stay ... except... there is essentially no soundproofing between the floors. And whoever stayed in the room above paced back and forth every morning and evening for at least an hour. The room was great, the bed comfy, the bathroom clean and spacious. Would absolutely stay again... but on the top floor.

Great hotel shame about the noise!

We stayed at hotel indigo to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary.We love Edinburgh and have stayed at many hotels over the years.This hotel was excellent,the staff were brilliant so helpful.The only downside was we were in room 309 the noise from the traffic and trams was bad even with the ear plugs provided,the noise started from 5.30am. Otherwise can’t fault the hotel would definitely stay again probably in a room away from the main road.

Inconvenient

The hotel, itself, was excellent. However, it was not handicap accessible, there being steps from the sidewalk to the front door. Furthermore, taxis are not permitted to stop in front of the hotel, a major inconvenience. For these reasons, I would not recommend staying there.

Please check your noise level in every room

Most noisy room I’ve ever stayed at. They definitely need to check the noise level in every room. Terrible sound kept coming from the air conditioner even when I turned it off, and even though the window was shut, the noise from various machines outside on the roof came coming in, causing me to hardly fall asleep.

The property Is in a good location and is within walking distance of Waverley Train station and bus station. There are many restaurants and shops for all tastes as expected from any large city. The hotel itself could do with some renovation and building work in certain areas, but it does a great hot breakfast in the mornings and the staff are great and attentive to all your needs.
