Great for Edinburgh city centre
Have stayed in motel one hotels before. This one was in a great location on the edge of the old town and yet very handy to the new town. It is a budget hotel but cannot fault it for value for money. Would stay there again

Edinburgh break
Excellent location right next to Waverly station,have stopped before and would probably stop again due to its location. Room was a little small and spartan but was lovely and clean,only had a shower and the towels were very small. Had kettle and tea and coffee gear but only used cheap nasty paper cups.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is on the edge of old town and is easily accessible to the royal mile, the grassmarket, Princes Street garden, Waverly station, and tons of shopping and restaurants and pubs.
Wendy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location
The hotel should print instructions in other languages and explain how to use the thermostat and how to open/close skylights. Instructions - if they exist - are in German, and the little pictures on what appears to be the thermostat (?) are incomprehensible.
