The Spotlight on Hotel Indigo - Edinburgh - Princes Street

Historic flair and castle views in the heart of Edinburgh

Modern comfort meets classic elegance at Hotel Indigo - Edinburgh - Princes Street, a stylish boutique hotel set in a period building just steps from Edinburgh’s buzzing live music scene. Located across from Waverley Station and overlooking Edinburgh Castle, this hotel blends historic charm with contemporary touches—think high ceilings, original windows, and locally inspired design. Whether you're in town for a major gig or a weekend of music and culture, this spot puts you right in the center of it all.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a dream for music fans thanks to its unbeatable location—right on Princes Street and directly opposite Edinburgh Waverley Station, making it incredibly easy to get to and from shows, even late at night. The stylish yet relaxed vibe offers a great place to wind down after the noise and energy of a concert, and the free WiFi means you can upload those front-row videos from your room. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's enough flexibility for most travelers' schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to stay close to the action
  • Solo travelers catching a big-name act in the city
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a stylish stay

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Twenty Princes Street restaurant showcases the best of Scottish cuisine with locally sourced ingredients that are perfect for a pre-show dinner. For drinks, the attached Juniper bar serves up creative cocktails and a wide range of spirits. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the central location means you're just a short walk from late-night eateries and cafés, and breakfast is available to help you recover from a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re within easy reach of some of Edinburgh’s best gig venues, pubs, and clubs. The nearby Royal Mile and New Town areas are packed with bars catering to every kind of music fan. For something more laid-back, Juniper bar is perfect for a nightcap with a castle view.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the central location, friendly staff, and beautiful views of Edinburgh Castle. Many reviewers highlight the hotel’s modern interiors within a historic structure, and love how easy it is to get around the city from here. The proximity to the train station is a major plus for travelers coming in just for a night or two.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that rooms facing Princes Street can experience a bit of street noise, especially on weekends—bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Others note that while the rooms are comfortable, they can be a bit on the smaller side depending on the category.

The Bottom Line

If you're coming to Edinburgh for the music, Hotel Indigo - Edinburgh - Princes Street delivers the perfect mix of location, comfort, and style to make your concert experience memorable.

Spectacular stay, room was spacious...

Liked: Room was spacious, and the views from the window are magnificent. Hotel was very easy to get to from the Edinburgh Waverley station. Breakfast is available upon request however I did not opt for breakfast. I booked the King Suite with City View and it did not disappoint. I could also view the fireworks from Edinburgh castle for the military tattoo they had during my stay.
Disliked: As it is on the main road, expect street noise to be heard from your room.

Best High Quality Princess Street...

Liked: Location was exceptional, staff very efficient during checkin / checkout and at attending a few minor requests. Flew into Edinburgh A/P and took the Tram to Princess Street and Hotel, only 100m walk from stop on arrival, Tram Excellent, and on departure we left from Waverley Train Station - literally across the road, cannot have anything better. I note no car parking, no issue, your walking distance from all attractions. Breakfast was superb, great ambience, plenty of natural options, smoked salmon Omelette Wes brilliant and the Room had the most magnificent Castle View. The Central location made everything within a short walking distance, and if you wanted some exercise Arthurs Seat is not to far, with a magnificent view over Edinburgh, challenging walk but Epic 360 degree view. Shorter distance is Carlton Hill. Castle was magic, book online and don’t miss the 1pm gun, especially from tge viewing point of “Old Meg”. Gardens and Harry Potter Street so convenient. Hotel was exceptional and we will return.
Disliked: Nothing all great
