Motel One Edinburgh-Princes

16 jul. 2026

We enjoyed our stay overnight in Edinburgh at Motel one. Good position and room overlooking Princes Street. Clean and comfy room, breakfast was welcome in the morning, would have preferred some cooked items though.

16 jul. 2026

It was a lovely day. We have been there before. Well I appreciate that the motel needed updating, the changes in the dining room make it difficult to manage reaching breads, and fruits with how high on shelves they have items. And now things are so separated. Also, while I'm sure modernizing motel ones is part of your agenda., The neon signs and new furnishings look cheap and maybe in an attempt to be contemporary, de-class your hotel tremendously

I love staying at motel 1 Great staff, comfortable rooms, convenient location. I keep coming back!

14 jul. 2026

Comfortable room, amazing view, excellent location, friendly staff

Good price-Service ratio, but still rather expensive and rather small rooms and bathrooms for two persons. Breakfast is rich, bad coffee. Staff very friendly.

The best thing about the hotel is its location. 4 minutes from the old town, 2 minutes from Waverley station, all the sights are within easy reach. The room is good, except for the lack of a trash can, the only one is in the toilet. It is cleaned daily, towels are changed, toiletries are replenished. The breakfast is good, but not impressive. You won't leave hungry, but for five nights there was nothing different from the previous day. The staff is extremely polite and smiling. Overall, I recommend it because of the incredible location.

the Motel one was quite nice. The staff was very pleasant and helpful when asked for assistance or recommendations. The room were quite nice and very clean. We spent time in the lounge with a large group and found it quite comfortable and the bartenders were great.

Wonderful experience. Quick, easy check in. I arrived after an overnight flight at 10am and they surprisingly had a room ready for me. It was honestly the very best thing to get unpacked and lay down after being so exhausted. I was then refreshed to go out and explore Edinburgh. The also upgraded me to a corner room, which was surprisingly quiet!! All around great hotel and staff!

Room was nice, location was excellent, staff was great. Wished there was a hot breakfast. It was also nice to leave my luggage between stays while I did a tour.

Thoroughly enjoyed both our short stays at your hotel. The staff was superb, finding a way for us to get into our room early and coordinate room locations for the five separate rooms our group needed. They even found a room for my brother, who had inadvertently booked at your sister hotel on Market Street. Enjoyed your lounge area every night we were there, as it was quiet, convenient and comfortable. Your rooms were very clean and well serviced. The ONLY small thing I would have liked would be the addition of USB ports, either on the bed side tables or desk. Otherwise a fantastic job by a fantastic team!

The location,the staff,the food is perfect.

Great that I was able to check-in online and even was able to get into my room prior to 3 o’clock - this was very helpful to structure my day and very customer friendly! Thanks!

Great location. But a little basic for the price.

05 jul. 2026

The room was so quiet and the bed was really comfortable. And we loved the breakfast the staff were so nice and friendly and very helpful.

05 jul. 2026

Good value for money in an excellent location.

Chaos at breakfast. Both coffee machines were not working. A lot of empty baskets, no juices. One only person of the staff working and was not enough to refill empty trays and baskets.. very long wait for a coffee.. we paid extra for 2 breakfasts but in the end we had nothing.. they should refund for breakfast

This was our first experience of Motel 1, and without reservation we would say the experience was excellent. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. We would certainly use the facility again. Many thanks for making our short stay in Edinburgh so lovely. Hugh and Salam

Enjoyed our stay once again. Friendly staff and a lovely comfortable room.

04 jul. 2026

Very clean and nice staff

04 jul. 2026

Motel One is nicely located in the heart of Edinburgh. Breakfast was okay but I would not book it again since the selection is quite limited and has no variation for the whole week.

03 jul. 2026

Great location, comfortable and clean rooms. Poor layout with reception on the first floor and poor access security. However, I would come back again.

03 jul. 2026

Very well located, very friendly staff and a clean and well presented room- why wouldn’t you stay here- it’s great value

03 jul. 2026

Room was great, really spacious and large modern bathroom, really comfortable bed and wanted to stay for longer. Staff really friendly and helpful too. Perfect location in Edinburgh and despite busy location and bedroom on main street on a Friday night there was minimal noise (we were up on 4th floor). Didn’t have time to try and lounge/bar but looked nice.

02 jul. 2026

Excellent. Despite a very short stay, for sure if back in Edimburg I'll stay with you if is available. Staff very professional, friendly,always in a good mood. The location is excelent, the ar service including staff is very good as well as all the lounge. I strongly recomend.

02 jul. 2026

Very convenient location, very clean facilities and rooms, friendly staff. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Edinburgh! Best regards from Italy

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, though given what we paid for it, the offerings were a bit slim.

01 jul. 2026

Lovely welcome by the reception staff, nice large room with good bathroom. Only thing downside was the recyclable plastic cups would prefer proper cup.

01 jul. 2026

Staff were very helpful & friendly. Our room was comfortable but no air con. Opened windows but the noise of the traffic disturbed our sleep.

01 jul. 2026

A great bed, decent air conditioning and amazingly quiet given central location. Will make it our base when we next visit.

01 jul. 2026

Positiv: super location to everything incl. Airport Tram, train. Modern, free upgrade - nice view. Negativ: hard matress, no good sleep possible, missing body milk.

01 jul. 2026

I was meant to be charged £120 per night but your hotel put me in an embarrassing situation when I arrived at check in and charged me £420 instead. I’m really upset

01 jul. 2026

Fantastic stay Fantastic staff couldn’t do enough for you Room was absolutely spotless Will definitely be back

01 jul. 2026

Amazing location Friendly professional staff Clean and modern

Location is good and the room was clean

Hotel location central, easy access to city centre attractions. Room though basic was adequate enough. It was clean and quiet. The staff was welcoming and helpful. It has always been our go to hotel when in Edinburgh

30 jun. 2026

Great location with easy access to public transport, Waverley trai tration and bus to the airport. Super nice staff. Great room and very good soundproof room. It’s been a long time that I got such soundproof room. Haven’t tried breakfast so can’t comment on that.

I like this hotel because the rates are usually quite good for Edinburgh and the location suits me, due to being opposite the train station. The staff are lovely, very efficient and friendly. The lounge area is very stylish and super comfortable. My room was quite compact, but perfect for a short stay, everything I needed, good comfortable bed, great shower.

Friendly staff, great location. Ideal for a visit to Edinburgh.

I’m giving you a 1 for 1 reason only. The staffs stubborn refusal to provide me with a bottle of water. Despite me being a one member. The only reason I didn’t book online was because it continually didn’t allow me to do so so I gave up and phoned the hotel at one point. I should have known if that’s what it was taking to book a room then things were not looking rosy. The fact that I couldn’t book through the website meant (a) I didn’t get my 10% discount (b) a measly bottle of water. I find it beguiling that the staff on the day i checked in were so obstinate and rude. A complete contrast to the staff the next day when I check out. Couldn’t have been nicer. My review is based on check in staff not out!!

Delightful staff. Clean rooms. Comfy beds. Great location!

The staff were superb, very helpful. The room was excellent and the breakfast excellent.

If i could give 0 stars i would. We stayed from 19th June to the 21st of June for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time in Edinburgh (which was amazing) and first time using Motel one. The rooms are over priced for what they are. Bob basic, small, and the mattress is like sleeping on a rock slab (We've stayed in many cities including London for cheaper and nicer facilities). We paid extra for a city view, even though we only could see Balmoral hotel across the road, and if we looked to the right on angle you could see a small part of Edinburgh City. We was located on the 2nd floor but due to how the hotel is it is approximately 3rd floor from the street. I personally wouldnt pay extra as you dont really get a city view more of a street, and the noise is unbelievable, it was like our windows are open we could hear everything from drunken street fights, police, and delivery vans in the earlier hours (yes I am aware city view chance of foot noises however the windows do not block any sound so they sound like they are in the room with us). After a rough night's sleep and then being asked to moved to a quiet room and extra duvet to sleep on top of comfort we was looking forward to breakfast. When I researched hotels I paid extra than I normally would (close to £350 a night) for the comfort, luxury, and breakfast. I looked at the pictures, reviews, and what the hotel have to offer but I'm not sure where these were generated from or if we was just unlucky but the continental breakfast was appalling. No cooked foods, no traditional Scottish oats or any cereals for that fact. The options were yoghurt with some toppings, cold crossaints, pain au chocolat, bread to make a ham or cheese sandwich, and some juices. The price of the breakfast does not reflect what is offered and is extremely overpriced. We opted for a crossiant, some toast, and apple juice. Not sure if it was food or the apple juice but I ended up being ill and stuck on toilet with stomach cramps most of the day. They hadn't washed the glass from their cleaning solution properly which cause a reaction to my husbands tongue and cause it to bleed. After all this we decided to cut our trip short and return home that day, we've not managed to come to solution in regards to the hotel and I am just appalled at the lack of responsibility from the hotel. So I would definitely avoid this place, it is not worth the hassle.

The room was comfortable and the receptionist was very friendly, but it was quite expensive for what it offered.

Excellent, friendly service in a fabulous position.

Placeringen af hotellet var helt perfekt. Personalet var meget venlige og imødekommende og ikke mindst hjælpsomme. Uagtet en ombygning var i gang var det bestemt ikke noget problem for os. Det er helt sikkert ikke sidste gang vi besøget og næste gang vil vi meget gerne på samme Motel One.

Venligt personale, fantastisk beliggenhed.

Jeg havde et fantastisk 5 dages ophold på Motel One Princes i Edinburgh. Jeg synes det er så fint at man kan vælge ikke at få gjort rent på værelset hver dag både ift. bæredygtighed, men også fordi at jeg følte værelset var mit, fordi der ikke kom andre derind. Og skønt at der var tørremuligheder til håndklæder på badeværelset. Jeg nyder at bo på Motel One, det er enkelt, meget rent og pænt og bygget af ordentlige materialer. Det er anden gang jeg bor på dette hotel i Edinburgh og jeg kommer igen! :)

Dejligt værelse, skøn morgenmad. Super hjælpsomme medarbejdere! Godt initiativ med muligheden for at fravælge rengøring på de korte ophold. Alt var perfekt!
