Parking was a couple of blocks away and cost us $75 for two days. They said we were getting a discount but I think that's a ridiculous price. Wasn't really walkable to old town so we had to take a cab. Nice hotel but I don't think I would stay here again.

Front desk staff were very helpful and kind. Only flaw was the property manager that came to look at our tv (that didn’t work properly also it says it has Netflix on it however it does not) he was quite rude, dismissive and short with us when I asked about the tv. Breakfast staff were very kind and helpful there was lots of options for everyone. I wouldn’t hesitant to return to this hotel however the manager we dealt with could use an attitude adjustment

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 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.

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.

Room was tired and needed some maintenance, simple things, wobbly coffee table, loose toilet seat etc. room was otherwise very nice. All the staff were polite and very helpful. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. They do not provide evening meals but plenty of choice locally. The only downside is a rumbling noise from passing trams which was slightly annoying. Otherwise, we enjoyed a lovely stay.

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.
