    A Cozy Haven in the Heart of Edinburgh

    A fantastic stay with plush decor and friendly staff! The breakfast spread was delightful, particularly the made-to-order options. I loved enjoying my morning coffee with views of the city. For a quiet evening, check out the cocktail bar—perfect for unwinding after exploring the vibrant streets nearby.

    lift issue
    dark room

    i had an amazing stay at indigo, which exceeded my expectations from my previous trip to edinburgh. the premium king room was spacious, with a huge bed and beautiful decor that provided a cozy atmosphere. the breakfast was a highlight, featuring freshly made eggs benedict and a delightful selection of pastries.

    the lift was out of order

    superb location
    check-in delay
    street noise
    window malfunction

    The Hotel Indigo caught my attention right away with its quirky atmosphere and superb location. Right across from Waverley Station, everything is a short stroll away. The restaurant offers a fantastic menu. I had the filet steak, and it was outstanding! Breakfast exceeded expectations with made-to-order eggs benedict. The room felt cozy with nice decor. I appreciated how clean everything was. my room's window didn’t close completely, and that let in too much street noise at night. Another minor inconvenience was the check-in process. it could be smoother. Staff were friendly and offered helpful recommendations, but the reception could improve its efficiency during busy times.

    cleanliness issues

    this hotel is amazin! the location is perfect, right on princes street, which made it so easy to explore the city. the staff were super friendly, especially ian, the doorman who gave great recommendations. my room was clean and the decor was really cute. loved the cozy atmosphere!

    the noise from the street can be a bit much at times. also, i found some stains on the throw pillows which was kinda gross.

    unbeatable location
    thoughtful snacks
    lift limitations
    lack of menu items
    initial room size

    The location is unbeatable, with easy access to transport and attractions. The mini bar's complimentary snacks were a thoughtful touch, enhancing the cozy room experience. the unexpected need to carry luggage up a spiral staircase due to the lift limitations was frustrating. the restaurant ran out of menu items during breakfast, indicating some lack of planning. The stay improved considerably once we moved to a more spacious room.

    great location
    early morning noise

    Super cozy and clean!

    The location is spot-on. Our room was super clean every day which was a huge plus. Breakfast from the restaurant was really tasty. One bummer was the noise from the bottles early in the morning, kinda woke us up. But overall, had a blast!

    comfy bed
    free tea
    drafty window

    I loved relaxing on the comfy bed and enjoying the complimentary tea and coffee in my room during my stay. The pool and fitness center were great spots to unwind after a day of sightseeing. The only minor hiccup was a chilly breeze from the window but it didn’t ruin my experience at all. 😊
