Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Indigo Edinburgh is appreciated for its central location, only a short walk from Waverley Station and close to an Edinburgh Tram stop for easy airport access. Guests find the breakfast excellent, with both buffet and cooked-to-order options, sometimes including vegan choices. Some found the sound insulation not ideal. Complimentary mini-fridge items, such as bottled water and Tunnock's caramel bars, are a pleasant bonus.
