Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

As always, this hotel delivered. Lovely design, friendly and helpful staff, very courteous. Rooms are clean, fresh and comfortable. I'll definitely recommend and stay again.

The hotel is located in a premium spot with easy access to the main tourist spots. Lovely clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was the size of our room, which was much smaller than I had anticipated. I did get to see some of the other rooms, which were much more spacious so maybe we were just unlucky, but it did detract from our stay. Another minor issue, for anyone who likes to watch TV when in a hotel, is that the screen was situated opposite the bathroom so a bit awkward to see.

Brilliant location, clean well kept rooms, friendly welcoming helpful staff

They aren’t kidding when they say “convenient to Edinburgh Waverley” - I walked out of the train station and walked about a block uphill. I had a great view of New Town from my third floor city view room. Old Town was literally steps away. The area outside the hotel and all the streets and closes (alleys, of sorts) to Old Town are very well lit and I felt safe as a solo traveler. Desk staff was courteous and very knowledgeable. The room was clean and well maintained. Toiletries in the private bath (which was very well appointed) were nicely scented and not overpowering. The best feature was the complimentary left luggage - I received a check ticket for my bag and was able to leave it at the hotel on Sunday after checkout, free of charge, until my train left at 1730. It was nice spending my last day in the city without having to drag my bag around! I would definitely recommend Motel One and hope they’re available in a couple of weeks when I plan to return to Edinburgh.

Fantastic hotel! Nothing negative at al. Fabulous stay! Staff A+.
