Royal Mile gem
Loved the location. Breakfast the next morning was very good with lots of choices. Employees at the desk were very kind to help us with the larger bags.

MotelOne is in the heart of Edinburgh. Walkable to anything that you would want to do in the area. We arrived by train and it was not even one block to the hotel. The breakfasts were plentiful. The room was small but comfortable and very clean. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in the area.

The property location is great, but the hotel is set up strangely, with several sets of steps to navigate with luggage. The room had no window, only a skylight, which made it feel like a cell. I would have asked to change, but the staff was unhelpful to another customer who wished to make a change, so I didn't bother.

Great location. Nice lobby. Updated rooms. Very small. Shower did not have a door; just half glass panel. That was the only thing didn’t like.

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.

This was the perfect location and a 5 minute walk to the train station and 1 block from the Royal Mile. Room was quite large and comfortable. Have to get use to not having face clothes in Europe. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Edinburgh
