The hotel is old and a bit worn out - a lot like me - but very comfortable and well maintained. The staff are superb: very helpful and well informed about all things Edinburgh and wider Scotland. Good value ✔️

Excellent location. Clean rooms and public areas. Very helpful and friendly staff. Only thing I feel they can improve on, is the vegan breakfast. Overall really enjoyed our stay. Would recommend and return.
NIce rooms although the stairs are a challenge for senior folks. . Short walk to downtown and very close to the Tram stop. Breakfast was outstanding and there is a nice bar for evening libations.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Indigo in Edinburgh. It is in a quiet and nice area and very central. It was great that we could store our bags before check in and after check out so we could explore without them. We felt very welcome and our room was lovely. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved all of the staff at the hotel. They were so nice and helpful and kind to us. We enjoyed the bar - it was well stocked and had a nice variety of liquors. Breakfast was also great. The location was great - near a major tram stop. The only negative was the squeaky doors that were so loud we could hear it up and down the hall when someone was coming and going that it would wake us up at night and early morning.
Beautiful hotel in an ideal location, staff were excellent.
