Hotel Indigo was the perfect location for our stay in Edinburgh.
Pros:

The location was perfect. We easily reached all points of interest (museums, restaurants, parks)by walking. The staff was delightful — attentive, warm, and took a genuine interest in us. The breakfast options were varied and delicious; the staff, again, were attentive and personable. Thank you!

Perfecto
Pros:

La ubicación al lado de la parada del tranvía y a nada del hotel Balmoral. Buen barrio.La limpieza del hotel. Habitaciones amplias, camas muy cómodas.Desayuno muy correcto y el personal muy amable, en especial Leisy. No pude coincidir con el personal de limpieza de la habitación, pero perfecto.Todo muy limpio y reponiendo concienzudamente tés, cafés,etc y el baño impoluto

Cons:

Las almohadas porque me gustan más altas, pero eso es algo muy personal.

All in all, if they upgraded the bedding, this would be a great place to stay in Edinburgh.
Pros:

Great location. Friendly Staff.

Cons:

Worst bed ever. We felt like we had been given a beating after sleeps that were fitful at best. If you like an extra-firm mattress, or camping out on a slab of rock with no mattress pad, this is the place for you!

Forse no
Pros:

Posizione ottima e struttura accogliente.
Bar aperto h24.
Personale cordiale e competente.

Cons:

Purtroppo la stanza che ci hanno assegnato, la 102 al piano terra credo sia una delle peggiori. ha il pavimento consumato, gli infissi e le porte rotte e affaccia su un cortile interno sporco.
Quindi rapporto qualità prezzo assolutamente non valido
