8/10 Very good

The interior of the hotel gave a sense of the historicity of the local culture and the importance of tradition. I liked the collection of portraits by the staircase, it made me look at the most prominent ones and look for the names of the people and their importance in connection with the city of Edinburgh.

8/10 Very good

The Hotel Indigo in Edinburgh had a very helpful staff and possesses a great location for walking about the city. The hotel room we were in was fine albeit in need of a little sprucing up, keeping in mind we were in the older part of the building on the 5th floor which has no elevator making it a challenge with heavy luggage but we managed. It was relatively clean or as clean as it could be as an older part of the building. We would return again if given the opportunity.
