[2025 Edinburgh Stay] Travel Guide for Hotel Indigo - Edinburgh - Princes Street, an IHG Hotel (Updated Feb)

we stay in two hotels for the whole trip, the scholar for two days and indigo for three days. The breakfast buffet at indigo is awesome, especially the desserts. The location is nice, right across the train station, easy for everyday walking around the city.

: 🏨🌟 Hotel Indigo Edinburgh - Princes Street 📍 20 Princes Street, Edinburgh, Scotland ▪️ The hotel is just a two-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley train station, which is very convenient. There are also many attractions and restaurants nearby, such as the General Register House and the Scottish Tourist Information Centre. The hotel's location allows you to quickly reach all the popular attractions in Edinburgh. ▪️ Hotel Indigo Edinburgh - Princes Street is a typical Victorian-style building with modern and comfortable decor. The front desk staff are very welcoming, and check-in and check-out are smooth. The rooms are simple and cozy, with ironing facilities, an electric kettle, and a coffee maker, and the bathroom amenities are complete. Every morning, a hearty buffet breakfast gets the day off to a good start. 🛏️✨ Room experience: ▪️ The room I stayed in had a great view of the bustling Princes Street. The room was very clean, and the bed was soft and comfortable, allowing me to sleep soundly through the night. The bathroom had 24-hour hot water and a hairdryer, and the large plush bath towels were very comfortable to use. ▪️ Although there was some construction work going on outside the room, the soundproofing inside the room was good, and earplugs were a must-have. The room was not large, but it was well laid out, with limited storage space, but this did not affect the overall comfort. 🍽️ Nearby recommendations: ▪️ For foodies, this place is a paradise. Right around the hotel, Ostara Cafe's Braised Ox Cheek is a must-try, and the buffet at China Red and the Chicken Biryani at Kama Sutra are also highly recommended. ▪️ In between busy schedules, you can go to the gym for a little exercise to keep your energy up. If you like to enjoy a leisurely afternoon, you can go to the hotel bar for a drink and try their creative cocktails. ▪️ There are also several attractions nearby that are well worth a visit, such as the Palace of Holyroodhouse, where you can experience the rich history and culture of Edinburgh, and the Royal Mile is also a must-see. This trip to Edinburgh was truly unforgettable, and I recommend everyone to come to Hotel Indigo Edinburgh - Princes Street to experience this unique comfort and warmth. Looking forward to the next trip and staying here again! 🏨 ❤️
