A stay you’ll want to extend
The design elements of the hotel and the rooms were beautiful and fun. All the modern comforts you would want in the rooms, with a great restaurant and a gorgeous bar and lounge on the lobby level. Will definitely stay here when I’m back.

We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Indigo. Greg’s impromptu history lesson about the portraits was fun and informative. Breakfast was lovely, and the wait staff were very accommodating. The location was great, just across the street from Waverley Station, and close to the Royal Mile. We definitely will stay there again if we return to Edinburgh.

Excellent central location and easy to get to museums, restaurants and the old city without transportation. The staff is very friendly, attentive and cooperative to your needs. Very nice to have a good restaurant and lounge area in the hotel. The rooms for two people could have more closet and drawer space, as the closet really accommodates just one persons clothing items. Overall, it’s a fine place to stay.

Lovely hotel right across from the train station, centrally located which made getting around easy. The breakfast was first rate, the beds comfortable. The staff was lovely and helpful. We had a ton of luggage so being right across from the train station was a definite plus

Good but not great
Lovely staff & nice hotel let down by a few little things. (Heating in the room was broken so a portable oil heater was provided instead. Single glazed windows made the room cold & noisy. The bedside drawers had been fixed shut and there were no shelves in the wardrobe.) The room was a decent size. Breakfast was good. Location excellent.
