Great - would definitely consider staying again
Fantastic location, really friendly staff, comfortable bed and nice decor.
I had a voucher which meant this stay was particularly good value. I might have felt it was slightly expensive without the discount, but realise there is an element of paying for the location (which really is one of the best places to stay in Edinburgh in my experience).
Minor quibbles, the TV didn't work consistently (i'm sure staff would have tried to sort this if i'd have asked). And there was some quite bad water damage in the room presumably from a previous roof leak. It was a shame because in other respects the look and feel of the room was great!
Nice touch with free mini bar water/Iron Bru and snacks.

The room I was in was on the bottom floor right by the stairs and was very loud. In the mornings, we were woken up by other guests walking down the stairs or a vacuum in the hallway at 8:30. I'm not sure if it was just the specific room I was in but I'm a heavy sleeper and it's never fun to be woken up on a holiday. For that reason, I would not stay in this hotel again even though the location was convenient and the staff was lovely.

Hotel was clean and comfortable.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Breakfast offered great choice and excellent service.
Great location.
Hotel was hard to find and you weren’t able to stop outside in your car to unload luggage.
Maybe if travelling by car you are informed that you need to park in the car park first and be advised where the car park is in location to the hotel.
This would make arrival smoother. A notice on the website would accommodate this and would make it much easier for people travelling by car.

Staff was extremely helpful and helped us book day tours for our 4 hotel guests. Room was very small and dated. Ceiling paint was peeling and shower had mold in it, could use a douse of bleach.

The location was great, the staff were amazing and helpful.
However the hotel is located in an awkward street where taxis or cars wasn’t able to park at the door, but I got help from the staff when I checked out which was nice of them.
The bedroom was spacious but a bit outdated, the pillows were awful to be fair but I didn’t ask them to change it so maybe they can do that.
Overall I think it’s a budget friendly hotel with a central location

One of 2 Hotel Indigos in Edinburgh. Room is set up differently than the conventional way and this works. Bar and breakfast available on first floor. Neighbor has many conveniences including a food hall in St James Place. Tram and buses out front. Walkable to new and old town location. Staff lovely. I would return.
