Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
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.

mixed experience, some disappointments

broken lampstuffy room
The room wasn't great. It felt kinda dark, and the bedside lamp BROKE on the last day. The window didn't open either so VERY stuffy. And the shower? there wasn't a door. Water went everywhere all the time. It's a pity.
