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.

Brilliant location just a few minutes walk to Waverley station and the bus stop for the airport. Great hotel Good size room, clean. well maintained and a comfortable bed. Good breakfast though no hot food provided. Only negative point is the lack of security as reception is on the first floor and there is nothing stopping people entering the hotel and accessing the bedroom floors.

Can’t beat the location. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar/restaurant on floor 1 was nice and had a great vibe. Room was small and was given a queen bed instead of a king, but the view of the city and Calton Hill made up for it.
