GREAT hotel... except...

I really like the my stay ... except... there is essentially no soundproofing between the floors. And whoever stayed in the room above paced back and forth every morning and evening for at least an hour. The room was great, the bed comfy, the bathroom clean and spacious. Would absolutely stay again... but on the top floor.

Great hotel shame about the noise!

We stayed at hotel indigo to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary.We love Edinburgh and have stayed at many hotels over the years.This hotel was excellent,the staff were brilliant so helpful.The only downside was we were in room 309 the noise from the traffic and trams was bad even with the ear plugs provided,the noise started from 5.30am. Otherwise can’t fault the hotel would definitely stay again probably in a room away from the main road.

Inconvenient

The hotel, itself, was excellent. However, it was not handicap accessible, there being steps from the sidewalk to the front door. Furthermore, taxis are not permitted to stop in front of the hotel, a major inconvenience. For these reasons, I would not recommend staying there.

Very good stay!

Everything was really good. Good service, wonderful breakfast and clean undisturbed rooms that had available cleaning and refilling of the available drinks in the room (water, tea,coffee, chokolate, soda). The only thing that I missed was a toilet brush...

Please check your noise level in every room

Most noisy room I’ve ever stayed at. They definitely need to check the noise level in every room. Terrible sound kept coming from the air conditioner even when I turned it off, and even though the window was shut, the noise from various machines outside on the roof came coming in, causing me to hardly fall asleep.

The property Is in a good location and is within walking distance of Waverley Train station and bus station. There are many restaurants and shops for all tastes as expected from any large city. The hotel itself could do with some renovation and building work in certain areas, but it does a great hot breakfast in the mornings and the staff are great and attentive to all your needs.

I was on holiday in Edinburgh for the first time. My trip was for eight days and I was staying at Hotel Indigo (York Place) for most of my trip. The hotel staff was very polite, professional and helpful. The hotel was very clean and was located in an are with access to many local restaurants. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Beware - avoid at all costs while staying in beaut

We were very disappointed with our stay at Hotel Indigo. From the moment we booked a premium king room, our hopes for a relaxing holiday were quickly crushed. The hotel does not have true king beds—they zip together two uncomfortable twins with a deep gap in the middle. Our room was dark and dingy, with a huge TV blocking the only window—and it didn’t even work. The wallpaper was peeling, and we were offered earplugs at check-in, a clear sign of what to expect. There was no phone in the room—just a disconnected one in a drawer. When the hair dryer overheated and nearly set off the alarm, we couldn’t call for help. It could only be used beside the bed, as there was no bathroom outlet or mirror. Smoke lingered at the front entrance, despite “no smoking” signs staff ignored. Cleanliness was also lacking: after the room was “cleaned,” our bathrobes were left in a dirty pile on the floor. Staff told us replacements were “impossible” and hung up on us. When we raised concerns, we were dismissed repeatedly. The final insult? Being told the issues were due to booking a king room they “weren’t prepared for.” Manager Carla was particularly unhelpful. This hotel absolutely ruined our stay in Edinburgh. Spend your money elsewhere—this place is not four-star quality in any way.
