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.

Great location, staff were helpful and friendly. The bed wasn't particularly comfortable and that was our only downside. Would definitely stay again.
