Our family stayed for two nights starting May 5th. We had trouble finding a place to park because of the road construction in front of the hotel and had to park a few blocks away just to check in but this is not the hotel's fault. The staff was extremely friendly on check in and offered to help us bring... More

Reasonably priced. Parking near by. Lovely modern rooms with free snacks and drinks from minibar. Ended up laying on bed and waking up five hours later. Stayed at indigo in Newcastle and Edinburgh too recently - becoming my favourite chain of hotels by far. Highly recommend

Well located hotel for a weekend in Edinburgh. Rooms quite small but clean and well appointed. Aveda bathroom products and stocked free minibar was great. Bed was to small and we both rolled to the middle of it as mattress sagged and pillows quite thin. So not best night sleep have had in a hotel for the money they charge
