Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Hotel's Favourite
Lovely hotel, within walking distance of the train station (we did it with two children, cases etc., within about 10-15 minutes), and it is just up from the Playhouse Theatre so an ideal base for whatever you need. My IHG loyalty was recognised on check-in, and the reception staff were more than helpful, taking our bags although we arrived hours before check in, and then organising them to be in our room when we arrived back after some sightseeing. Our room was a lovely large family room (#112) and was a great size for 2 adults and 2 children. The kids especially appreciated the complimentary teacakes, caramel wafers and Irn Bru! It is however the staff which make this hotel stand out, they are all wonderful - helpful & personable - I didn't catch all their names (sorry!) but would like to name check the lovely Chelsea on reception, and also Dougie who was so patient and kind to my grandchildren making them a hot chocolate "nightcap" as we had a cheeky gin on our way to bed! Breakfast was lovely with excellent hot and cold choices, and set us up for the days walking! I couldn't really have asked for a much better experience! Thank you!

Great hotel, able to check in early, room was at the back and really quiet. When we checked out was able to leave our luggage until later in the day and collect just before our train. Didn’t have breakfast here so can’t comment on this. All staff we spoke to helpful

The staff were so helpful with storing our luggage as we arrived hours before booking in time. We spent a few hours in Edinburgh and when we returned our luggage had been taken to our room. The room was very nice and had everything anyone would need. We did find that we tended to roll into the middle of the mattress but other than that we had no issues. Our room was at the back of the hotel and was nice and quiet. The breakfast was excellent and lots of choices, a good start to the day. Couple of minutes walk to playhouse theatre, St James quarter and Omni centre. Trams are just outside the hotel.

Excellent hotel, comfortable rooms, very warm welcome and a free room upgrade. Very kindly locked my bags away after work for me so I could explore Edinburgh as my flight wasn't until late evening. Will definitely return. I can't comment on food as I didn't eat here due to work commitments. Old town is a nice 20 minute walk away.

I really enjoyed this hotel and can’t wait to go back from the minute we stepped through the door and the lovely receptionist Helena welcomed us she was extremely helpful and very welcoming and friendly all the time being professional gave us our room card for room 309 and we were not disappointed the room was beautiful ans spotless the bed was so comfy I didn’t want to get up in the morning needless to say I’m glad we did went down to breakfast to be greeted by the lovely wullie who showed us to our seat so if you want to book a hotel in the heart of Edinburgh you will not go wrong with this one if I could give it and its love staff it would be a 6 thank you for looking after us Caroline Galloway the booking was under Lynn Coughtrie

What a lovely welcome! As soon as I arrived Andrew gave me a lovely smile and great advice on where to eat. I also got an thank you for being an IHG member and made me feel appreciated for just showing up! The room was really nice and cozy, has a really good shower with simple controls! The bed is really nice and soft, and pillows really fluffy Really nice to have necessities like shampoo and conditioner provided, even has a robe and slippers. To top it all off they gave me some complementary drinks and a few chocolate bits in the room. Definitely would stay again!

I always love staying in Hotel Indigos and this one was no different. Great location in the New Town so easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Room was quiet with a great shower. Only small quibble was that the mattress seemed to sink a little, making the sleeps a little uncomfortable.
