Motel One Edinburgh-Royal - Edinburgas

Just a short stop off on an onward journey but because the hotel was conveniently situated I was able to pack in quite a lot in that time.

We had a lovely stay..the location is fantastic. The only thing I would say is odd..there is no plug for the kettle on the coffee table...plus there are no bedside tables...perhaps add these items?!

We stayed for one night at this Motel One. Good location for both old and new town in Edinburgh. Large clean room with view of Princes street gardens. You pay extra for room with a view. Good bathroom with walk in shower. Tv and tea/coffee faclities in room. Quite strange as its the first time in 5O years of travelling that there was no bedside cabinet or anything to sit your mobilephone, book or glass of water on. So you have to sit everything on the floor at side of the bed.? Lots of good eating places and pubs etc in immediate area. We would return but just for short break of one or two nights, it is a good hotel but rooms are basic.

Great location, very helpful staff. Very clean, bed a little firm, I would stay there again.

Motel One is definitely worthy of the raves it's been getting. The hotel was beautiful, clean, with an incredibly good Continental breakfast. (For Americans, that's not just a danish and coffee, but a true European breakfast with cold cuts, cheese, multiple bread offerings, cereal, soft-boiled eggs, and fruit plus coffee and juice.) The location was fabulous, right across from Waverly Station and near to terrific restaurants and site-seeing. Walking distance from most everything in the old train as well as bus and tram stops. The only slight downside was a few stairs to carry luggage up to the reception and a few more within the warren of hallways that the multi-building hotel occupies. Overall, an A+ though. I would definitely return.
