Very Poor
Not worth the price. Terrible breakfast, rude staff at breakfast, room not cleaned properly if cleaned at all, sheets not changed.

Breakfasts were great. Ample buffet plus a variety of cooked options. The hotel location is great, with an Edinburgh Tram stop right outside. This made transportation to and from the airport very easy. Walking distance from all of the sights, many restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and also many with a 15 minute walk. This particular Hotel Indigo location is also much quieter (less automobile traffic and foot traffic) than the sister location on Prince's Street.
The room could use some sprucing up. A few electrical items were not working- heated towel bar, lighted mirror, and some electrical outlets. The fridge was also not cold enough to safely store food. The staff did try to fix these issues, but only the lighted mirror was able to be fixed. We weren't overly bothered by these things, but thought the staff should know.

Disappointing
The property is in a decent location, within 5 min walk to nice shopping mall and within 8-10 min walk to Waverly train station and Old Town. The staff are pleasant and professional. Overall the property is on a reasonably quiet street and even with the tram right outside there was not much street noise.
We booked 2 premium king rooms, guys in one room, girls in the other; asked for connecting if possible. When we arrived, we got rooms 206 and 308. These rooms are not only on different floors, they were vastly different sizes and room layouts, with 206 around 300sqft and 308 around 220 sqft. The manager on duty was pleasant and professional but her explanation was puzzling, that because it is a boutique, none of the rooms are same sized or same layout, and said the smaller room should be quieter, but both faced the street. The next day, we complained to the manager about this and she was gracious enough to let us switch to a room adjacent to 206, with a better layout but a smaller bed (NOT a king bed). She insisted that this adjacent room was also a premium king room. That may be, but the room was still smaller (about 260 sqft) and with a smaller bed. We decided to switch because the room layout was better and the rooms were across from each other, but the rooms were not equivalent in any way. What’s more, the adjacent room faced away from the street but was actually noisier because there was a large motor outside the room that would vibrate the windows. Uncertain if our complaints were heard but what was weird is that the better room got a New Years gift of a chocolate bar, and the worse room got a gift of prosecco and a cookie. A nice gesture but so weird that even the gifts for each room were vastly different. The better room was very nice for the girls; the worse room was actually quite unpleasant for the guys.
In summary, I would want other customers to know in advance that each room could be very different based on it being a boutique hotel; this was not clearly stated so while the manager and staff have nothing to do with how the rooms are described, IHG I think engaged in fraudulent advertising. The rooms should be clearly rated at different prices based on measured square footage and bed size. This is just basic hotel business. I think booking.

Very nice hotel, conveniently located, clean, up to date, functional, quiet.
There are two Hotel Indigos in Edinburgh and the two could be better distinguished from one another, especially on navigation apps.

Clean, quiet, centrally located, near attractions, transit, shopping. Easy to access from the airport.
A little over my budget.

This hotel had the most stunning rooms. If the vaulted ceilings didn't make me feel like a queen, having free sparkling water and chocolate in my mini fridge every day sure did. This hotel was also very accessible, just a short distance from the train the station.
Unfortunately, this hotel is on a very busy street so it is very noisy at night. However, the hotel provides you with ear plugs as there is no way you could sleep without them. Also we couldn't get the TV to work at all, even after the front desk "reset" it for us. That was a bit of a bummer since the TV setup is so cool!

I loved the location, close to restaurants and a convenience store. I love the umbrella rental as I thought I’d have to purchase an umbrella for the few days. The staff and the rooms were lovely.
I wasn’t able to get any beans for bfast as I ordered the pancakes with bacon so I couldn’t choose anything else. Very limiting.

It’s at a nice location, near to many sights. The breakfast was excellent, and the staff was very polite and helpful.
The shower had mold around the edges and generally it seemed like it wasn’t that clean. The rooms are not soundproof, so you can hear everything and it’s very annoying. We really expected something far better at this price.

It was near another the centre. When I left a staff member carried my suitcase to the car picking me up.
When I arrived no one offered to either take me to my room or carry my suitcase to it.

Great location lovely breakfast. Friendly staff. Very helpful with booking taxis.
Taxis can not pick you up outside the hotel have to walk to the corner this due to tram cars.
