The staff and the community areas of the hotel are lovely. The location of the hotel is excellent, located closely to the transportation center, and just down from Royal Mile. My room was clean and the bathroom appeared somewhat updated, but the bedroom was tiny. I had a double bed with barely enough room around it to move. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.

The room was very spacious & the location was great. We rode the train from London to Edinburgh & the train station (Waverley) was right down the street. I would defray here again.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Motel One Edinburgh-Royal. The location is absolutely fantastic: right in the heart of the city, with many of Edinburgh’s main attractions within easy walking distance. Getting to and from the airport is also incredibly convenient, as the Airlink bus stops literally right outside the hotel. It couldn’t be easier! The hotel is also exceptionally clean and well maintained. Both the public areas and our room were spotless throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast was also very tasty, with a good selection, although the options were pretty much the same every day. Another nice bonus is the late check-out at 12 noon, allowing you to enjoy a relaxed departure. There were, however, a few minor downsides. The soundproofing could definitely be improved, as we could regularly hear noise from neighbouring rooms. Given the age of the building (around 200 years old) and its wooden floors, this is somewhat understandable, but better sound insulation would certainly make a difference. Unfortunately, the safe in our room wasn’t working and kept displaying an error code. The air conditioning also didn’t function properly, which meant the room could get quite warm, especially after taking a shower. Despite these few issues, we look back on our stay very positively. The excellent location, cleanliness and friendly staff make this hotel a great base for exploring Edinburgh.

Motel One Edinburgh – affordable designer accommodation in the capital of Scotland

Edinburgh: The capital of Scotland


Motel One has two locations in Edinburgh, ready to welcome you at both central, popular Design Hotels each with individual interiors, friendly service and free WiFi. Our affordable hotels are a great choice for your weekend away, special event, short stay or business meeting.


Formerly called “Auld Reekie” by locals, Edinburgh is no longer the grey, industrial stronghold of its reputation. Scotland’s capital has gradually transformed itself, and is now one of the UK’s most popular destinations.

Design Hotel Edinburgh

Budget Design Hotels in Edinburgh – your Motel One


Scarcely half a million people call Edinburgh home, making it compacter and cosier than many other European capitals. Nearly all its sights are within walking distance of our centrally-located Design Hotels. Both the Edinburgh Royal with its view of the castle and the Motel One Edinburgh Princes right in the old part of town make great bases for your explorations.


Edinburgh is made up of contrasts: between the Old Town and Royal Mile and its modern counterpart, the New Town. The Royal Mile is lined with neo-classical frontages and imposing columns, testament to Edinburgh’s storied history, while the geometrically laid-out new town reflects the precise planning and development of the 18th century.


From either hotel, you’re just minutes away from the cobbled Royal Mile, which connects the Castle and the Palace. At in fact around a mile long, it’s peppered with impressive architecture, seamed by countless narrow alleyways and hidden passages. Robert Louis Stevenson, of “Treasure Island” fame, once said, "There are no stars so lovely as Edinburgh street lamps,” and you’ll quickly agree if you tour the town in the evening.


Edinburgh Castle, Camera Obscura and Princes Street Gardens

A key symbol of the city, Edinburgh Castle on Castle Hill towers over everything literally and figuratively. Inside, you can find out about the world of Edinburgh gone by, enjoy the view across Princes Street Gardens, and jump at the the One O'clock Gun.


Follow the Royal Mile a while to the Camera Obscura tower where a living image of the city is projected onto a table, and visitors can wonder at interactive optical illusions as well as the great views from the roof terrace.


Should you be in the mood for a shop, head to the boutiques and department stores of nearby Princes Street after visiting the Old Town. Weather permitting, the parallel Princes Street Gardens are a nice spot for a stroll and a sit down.


Our Design Hotels are also within close reach of other sights such as Holyrood Palace, the John Knox House and the Canongate Tolbooth.
