Amazing staff and location. Will absolutely come back to Edinburgh, and book this hotel again! 10/10

The perfect location between Old Town and New Town. It was a quant hotel with easy access to transportation - the bus from the airport dropped us off just on the bridge across from the hotel. It's a bit of an odd layout and it was a bit of a maze to find the room. But it was comfortable and we'd stay there again!

Perfectly located on a block from the Royal Mile. Loved being able to walk to food, shops, and attractions. The hotel itself was great! Loved the Scotland plaid decor with a little flair. Fun lobby! Enjoyed several drinks at the hotel bar that’s open late. The room was spacious and bed was comfortable. Nothing negative to stay. Don’t question booking here! We stayed 4 nights and it was great!

Motel One is clean, comfortable, and in the most convenient location for exploring Edinburgh’s best sites. When we return to Edinburgh in the future, we’d stay here again without hesitation.

Comfortable, well appointed rooms; great bar and lots of comfy seats in the lobby; the main highlight was the incredible location near old town - you’re in it! Also close to bus, train and tram lines. I’d definitely rebook the next time I’m in Edinburgh. The staff were also lovely. Safe, clean, not cramped.

Perfectly located, comfortable hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. My favorite feature was the ability to open the windows and let in the fresh air and sounds of the Royal Mile when desired, but also sheer blackness and quiet when time to sleep. Lovely little gem of a spot! I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

Basic hotel in a great location. Good if you are staying just 2-3 days...anything more, you will want a bigger room with proper closets and storage. Breakfast was pricey for what you got, but overall it was very clean and centrally located (which could be a loud, so bring ear plugs).

Booked 2 nights for an early 50th birthday treat. Booked a stanard room although greeted with what felt like a cell. 1 window covered with black film, so could see out and made room very dark window ventilation vent couldnt be closed, so let in a draft and noise, from below area. Requested a change of room straight away, unfortunately due to being fully booked no alternative room until 3pm the following day. New room had not 1 but 2 windows albiet looking on to a internal court yard with lots of windows facing our room, so had to close window coverings, luckily 1 had a privacy net, so it provided privacy and light. Had a comfortable night only to be woken at 6am by staff in the room next to ours which on further inspection looked to be the laundary store, so lots of banging and trolleys been rolled backwards and forwards within the room and up and down the corridor. All this for £638.000 bargin, NOT! Will never stay at Motel One again or recommend. Very disappointed

Stayed here several times. Clean, comfortable, central hotel. Obviously prices in August exorbitantly high so not great value for money. However, I would definitely stay here again when prices return to normal.

If you are looking for a fantastic location, this it it! We took the tram from the airport. It was a short, five minute walk to the hotel. But if you’re taking the Airlink bus to and from the airport, those buses are literally across the street from the hotel and you can buy those tickets right there for the bus. One of the reasons we booked here with that I had read that the hotel will often try to get you into a room even if you arrive early from the airport. The reception staff were very friendly, and even though our room was not ready, they provided the option of us changing rooms, which meant that we could get into her room, even though it was only 10AM. Having travelled overnight from Canada, that was a game changer for our trip. I’m sure they can’t do that for everyone, but the fact that they were willing to look at it was amazing. And if you can’t get into your room, they store your luggage. The room itself was nothing special, but it was clean and had everything we needed. We were steps away from the royal mile, to the main attractions of Edinburgh castle, and Holyrood Palace. Lots of options for coffee, restaurants, shopping all within your reach. I will definitely stay here again.

Loved the location for bus and train travel and closeness to Royal Mile. Neighborhood near train station and pubs had lots of men peeing on the sidewalk. Love Cockburn street as it winds up to High Street and the “close” alleyways with stairwells for shortcuts. Rooms are small with small windows, but good soundproofing at least. Not enough surfaces to put stuff, only one desk and tiny side table shelves. No closet. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good breakfast but same every day. No self-serve laundry. Carpet in rooms is questionable on cleanliness. Staff friendly.

You are paying for the location, it is amazing. Right across the street from the Waverly station and literally the next road down from the Royal Mile. You can walk everywhere in Old Town and you are very close to New Town. The rooms are very small, but you shouldn’t be in your room too much while you’re in Edinburgh anyway. I stayed for 3 nights and I wish the room had a mini fridge so that I could buy some food and milk as I was there a few days. If you are staying for one night than it’s fine. The staff are very friendly, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was very small but it was just myself so it was ok. If you are staying during the summer be aware there is no AC, the windows do open but it’s very noisy outside especially early in the morning with the noise from garbage trucks etc. But that wasn’t too big of a deal, I was able to ignore it with some ear plugs. Over all, it’s a great hotel, absolute fantastic location and I would most definitely stay here again.
