Fantastic location and service.
Fantastic location opposite Waverley station. Great service from all members of staff. Room (363) very small with no view, however, it was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast expensive for continental, no hot option. Weatherspoons across the road for a cheaper option.

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!

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.

Happy place on the Royal Mile
Perfect location on the Royal Mile. On the corner of Cockburn and Market streets, very near the train station, walking distance to so many things.

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.
