Completely Average

This was an average stay at an average hotel for an above average price. The good is that it was convenient to two tram stops and across the street from the train station. Short walk to the Royal Mile. The bad is that the room had no outlets next to the bed nor did it have anything next to the bed on which to lay your items such as phone, etc. also note the room has room darkening curtains and not blackout curtains making it quite light at night. My first room was located where the window looked down on a pub entrance across the narrow street. Even with the window closed there was constant noise from all the smokers gathered outside. I switched rooms for the next two nights (of course they put me next to the elevator) but it was quite possibly the warmest room I’ve ever been in even though the outside temp was in the 40s. Also had issue with the key card not working. This is a decent hotel if you plan on being out exploring all day. However, if you want a comfortable room that you will be spending some time in then you may want somewhere different.

My experience with Motel One Edinburgh - Princes was a very pleasant one. The staff was extremely friendly, and facilitated my check in even though I was slightly early. I was also able to heat up my own food with the staff’s help and they did not once complain or decline helping me. Rooms were comfortable and large, and the location was exceptionally convenient with food and transport all within walking distance.

Motel One is classy and a great location!

Close to the tram stop and Waverley rail station so very easy journey from the airport. Hotel staff very helpful and friendly and the bar, restaurant and rooms are very well presented. A short walk (10 mins) from the Royal Mile, The playhouse (7 mins) and Holyrood Park (20 mins) makes it an ideal location.

For the price this hotel was perfect. Staff were so friendly and accommodating. So close to the the railway station and shops/ pubs restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful and relaxing no queue. Bedroom was spacious and spotlessly clean.A treat was the beautiful chocolates left in the room for valentines day, such a lovely touch.
