    The room was well thought-out with handy amenities, a comfy bed, and neat design touches like a TV fireplace and great pillows, all overlooking a lively street scene. The location was spot on, close to cafés and shops, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The only downside was being near noisy early-morning footsteps and bin shuffling, but it didn't ruin the overall enjoyable experience. 🌟

    Our room was very spacious, with comfy beds and a well-equipped bathroom. The location was unbeatable - just a few blocks from the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. Despite some hallway noise, the staff were helpful and the breakfast buffet had plenty of options. Overall, a pleasant stay in a beautiful hotel.

    Great central location near bars and restaurants. Rooms cozy and modern, though some minor cleanliness issues. Friendly staff and thoughtful touches like personalized requests. Comfortable bed and nice toiletries provided. Pet-friendly, which is a bonus. A peaceful stay with a Scottish touch. Would return.

    The prime location of the property, right next to major attractions and with easy access to the train station, was truly outstanding, offering a perfect base for exploring. the modern design and decor of the hotel exuded a cool vibe, making every moment there a photo-worthy experience. If anything could be improved, a clearer distinction in the name to reflect its remarkable quality and unique structure might be beneficial.

    During our sightseeing trip to Edinburgh, we chose this hotel for its central location, just a short walk from famous attractions. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were comfortable and clean. The hotel offered a convenient luggage storage service on the day of our checkout, allowing us to explore the city without carrying our bags.

    Chose hotel for convenient location near Edinburgh Castle. 24-hour reception and high standards of quality and service made for an extremely comfortable stay. Free WiFi throughout the property was a pleasant surprise, and the bar/lounge offered freshly brewed barista coffee with an assortment of hot and cold snacks.

    Inconvenient parking, inadequate directions. Wifi not functional in the room.

    The room at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal was super comfy with a modern vibe. The queen-size bed felt like a cloud, and the en suite bathroom was a nice little sanctuary. The free WiFi was a lifesaver for staying connected on a budget.

    I wished there were more TV channels available, but that's just me.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! the room was spacious, clean, and had plenty of storage for our belongings. the bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. the location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, close to all the major attractions. the lobby is beautifully decorated and provides a cozy and stylish place to relax.

    While the breakfast was good, a bit more variety could be added to enhance the experience further. some minor improvements could be made to the wheelchair accessibility within the hotel to ensure the comfort of all guests.

    The room was clean and the staff very friendly. The location was fantastic, near the train station and royal mile. We had to request a room change due to noise disturbances, but the front desk team handled it well. Breakfast was a bit pricey for Christmas day, but the facilities were great and the staff were helpful and professional over the phone.

    The hotel's stylish decor and comfortable rooms made me feel like a fancy lady. The location is a dream, close to the train station and all the exciting attractions. Staff were lovely and helpful.

    Oh, how I missed having a vending machine for reasonably priced water. Had to splurge £2 per bottle at the bar!

    Ball chairs and tables made from whiskey barrels create a contemporary Scottish take on mid-century modern style. It felt like sipping a fine single malt while lounging in a fashionable urban setting. The blend of tradition and modernity made me feel like a character from a trendy historical novel.

    Noisy at night due to revelers returning from pubs and bars.

    This hotel was perfectly located in the heart of town, with everything close by. We were just a short walk from the train station, which made getting around a breeze. The room was spotless and comfortable, with a big, clean bathroom. The service was second to none, with all staff being friendly and always willing to help. Breakfast was continental, but the buffet-style had a good variety. we enjoyed a pleasant stay at a reasonably priced hotel.

    The room could have done with a small fridge to keep our drinks cold.

    I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city. The only downside was the lack of power sockets in the room, but that did not detract from my experience.

    Location can't be beaten, right in the heart of the old town with a cozy room that felt like a fairy tale, and a lovely surprise chandelier. Delighted with this gem! Bar with cocktails and friendly staff were top-notch, and great value for money. A minor downside was the lack of room for storing items, otherwise, a fantastic stay 💫.

    The hotel’s décor is simply delightful. The stylish and comfortable seating areas are perfect for enjoying a cup of tea while admiring the contemporary Scottish take on mid-century modern style. The hotel's convenient location close to the train station and the historical sites makes it very accessible for senior people, allowing for easy exploration of the charming surroundings.

    I would only ask for a better vacation for senior people if there were more comfortable seating options in the common areas.

    I recently stayed at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal for a weekend getaway. The staff members, especially trainees Tarak and a guy from the Manchester hotel, were incredibly helpful during a fire evacuation. The hotel had a modern yet friendly atmosphere, with exceptionally clean and spacious rooms. I loved the organic soaps and the environmentally-friendly paper cups. The location was superb, and the breakfast selection was great. I highly recommend this hotel.

    My recent stay at Motel One in Edinburgh was fantastic. The location was unbeatable, just a short walk from the train station and within easy reach of all the major attractions. The room I stayed in had a wonderful view of the Christmas market on Princess Street, creating a festive atmosphere. The room itself was spacious and well-equipped, providing all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Despite a couple of minor drawbacks, such as a lack of control over the room temperature and a small TV, these did not significantly impact my overall experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring that I had everything I needed during my stay. The cleanliness of the room was also impressive. I would highly recommend Motel One to anyone visiting Edinburgh.

    We had an amazing stay at Motel One in the heart of the city. the hotel was modern, clean, and welcoming. the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the en suite bathroom was fresh and well-maintained. Our room overlooked the city park and train station, offering a lovely view. the location was perfect - within a 15-20 minute walk to all the main tourist attractions, cafes, and shops. the staff were exceptional, going above and beyond for us. They even decorated the room for my boyfriend's birthday and allowed us to check in early. We felt truly valued and cared for during our four-night stay. We will definitely be recommending this hotel to our friends and family and look forward to returning ourselves someday soon.

    The bar and lounge area at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal are a haven for culinary delights, especially the legendary fish and chips that left our taste buds singing. The central location is unbeatable, with easy access to Edinburgh's top attractions, and the staff's warm hospitality added a cozy touch to our stay.

    Didn't fancy the perplexing journey to our room on the Cockburn side—it felt like a maze! Breakfast was a bit of a hustle at 9 a.m., but we found solace in a nearby cafe.

The cozy bar and lounge area provided a great space to unwind in the evenings, and the friendly staff were always on hand to offer helpful tips for making the most of my stay.

I appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities, as well as the TV and reliable wifi signal. The hotel's central location made it easy to access all the main attractions and bus routes, including the tour buses. The bar and lounge area, spanning two levels, was comfortable and inviting. The staff, especially Adam and Monty, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and polite throughout my stay. They truly made me feel welcome and taken care of.

    The location was amazing, right in the heart of the city. It made it super easy to explore both the old town and Princes Street. Plus, being across the road from the train station was a major convenience. No noisy trains though, surprisingly! And the view from our room on the 6th floor was simply breathtaking. Clean rooms, comfy beds, and a great shower , everything you need for a comfortable stay.

    The only downside was not having a choice of a room with a view. We booked last minute so it wasn't a big deal for us, but if you're particular about that, make sure to ask in advance.
