The ideal location in Edinburgh
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!

Great stay! Highly recommend!
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.

Location, location, location - 10/10
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.

Comfortable and quiet stay
I spent 3 nights at this lovely hotel. The bed was super comfortable and the room was quiet as requested. If you have to come to Edinburgh, I would recommend staying here. I've stayed at the Motel One in Glasgow as well and it was just as lovely. Motel One is my first choice for a hotel when in Europe.
