Lovely hotel in a wonderful location on Princess Street. I recommend it totally. Stayed two nights on this trip. Will not hesitate to stay here when back in Edinburgh. I believe there is another MotelOne in Edinburgh but know nothingabout it.

Enjoyed my stay very much. The location was excellent. Convenient to railway and trams to the airport. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Only minor comment I have is there was only one wastebasket located in the bathroom and none in main room. Also, the fan in bathroom did not work. Will definitely stay here again.

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.

8/10

This was a great place to stay for a quick trip! However, there was much that I didn’t see as there was a lot of building works going on. It was very impressive that the works did not disturb us, at all. The room was very comfortable after a long day of travelling. The staff were kind and efficient and even remembered why I had said I was coming. That was sweet and good business! The location is perfect as it is across the street from Waverly Railway Station in the middle of Edinburgh. All in all, a very nice experience for a quick visit to see family on special occasions - very “fit for purpose.”. Thank you! Just what I needed.
