Hotel Indigo checked all the boxes for our stay in Edinburgh, highly recommend !
Pros:

Loved the property. Great location! Spacious hotel room! Great breakfast. Many small touches such as treats in the refrigerator, 24 hour hotel services, and more, made for a great stay. The hotel staff was grit and very helpful. They helped my husband with an important business meeting by providing business center services.

Disappointed
Pros:

The gentleman that checked us in was quite helpful.

Cons:

The condition of the room. The bathroom door is rotting away at the bottom along with other minor issues. Too many steps for moving luggage, although we were kindly assisted by the gentleman at the desk.

Tolles Hotel und sehe freundliches Personal
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr Zentral und Super vom Flughafen aus mit dem Tram zu erreichen ( Station Picardy Place)! Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und hatte eine grosse Auswahl, also für jeden was dabei.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Ich hatte meinen Adapter vergessen, woraufhin ich an der Reception für die Tage kostenlos einen Auslehnen durfte.
