Motel One Edinburgh-Princes

03 apr 2026

As always, great stay at Motel One. Convenient location for train station, Princes Street, shopping and tge Playhouse. Room was spacious and nicely decorated. Only one issue on the night we arrived was the bathroom tap only had hot water, scalding at times. This was ok again the next morning.

Lovely motel. Fantastic location on Princes Street and just a 10 min walk to the Royal Mile and all Old Town. A 2 minute walk from the tram stop which is great for airport connection. Shops (fancy and grocery) less than 1 minute walk away. Highly recommend this motel.

Very friendly staff, excellent location

The checkin was handled by a very polite woman, even the guard on the ground floor by the entrance was super-friendly. And my room was nice, spacious and with a great view. The lounge-area was nice and the breakfast and service was excellent.

Great location, lovely friendly staff.

Brilliant location, a minute walk from the train station and near all the tourist spots and lots of lovely bars and restaurants. Loved that we were able to check in a few hours early and check out was at 12pm. The hotel itself is modern and has a lovely bar area that has views of the balmoral hotel and castle in the background.

28 mrt 2026

excellent service and location

27 mrt 2026

Very comfortable and clean room! The location is excellent for exploring the city. The breakfast was good, but an extra option for eggs (eg scrambled) or sth more Scottish like small pies would be ideal.

Loving the ongoing refurbishment. Staff very friendly.

Everything was fine, the lounge was very cold on the evening.

This hotel is in a great position opposite Waverley Station. Buffet breakfast had no hot food apart from boiled eggs but it was still really nice. Had a great room overlooking Princes Street. Good size and great shower. I’ve taken points off because the bar staff at night were very unfriendly. It was about half past 10 and we were the only people in the bar. We asked for Sauvignon Blanc and were told they didn’t have any so we paid £20 for two G&Ts. There were 2 staff members initially. They chatted amongst themselves and looked completely bored. There was a shift change and they went to get changed and came back into the bar for a drink afterwards. The guy who replaced them proceeded to make himself a cup of tea and completely ignored the fact that we were sitting at the bar. A greeting or some form of friendly acknowledgment would have been the minimum expectation from a customer service perspective I feel eg “hello, let me know if I can get you anything” rather than just avoiding eye contact completely. We finished our drinks and left but not before I challenged all 3 of them about how different the atmosphere could have been at such a quiet time with a bit of effort from them. Training required I think. The bartender coming in shift’s response was that he was just starting his shift - so what?! They did have the good grace to apologise. The reception staff and cleaning staff were all magnificent by comparison!

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean and comfortable stay. Perfect location right in the centre of everything we wanted to see. Beautiful decor in Lounge/bar with gorgeous windows seats. Only touch needed would be bottled water in rooms for arrivals. Would stay again!

Clean and modern room. Fabulous location. Reception staff were beyond helpful - nothing was too much trouble.

24 mrt 2026

Excellent

Staff very attentive and helpful at all times. Perfect location and access in and out. We had room 119 (THANK YOU ) , even slept with Curtains open so could appreciate the view and lights at night from the city. Room service daily, unexpected but very much appreciated. Really enjoyed our stay, THANK YOU TO all the team involved. Ps) we didn’t use the breakfast facility as had already plans as a group of 8 but it looked very delicious and loved the little extra decoration on the eggs, loved it .

Hotel One Prince Street was a great place to stay in Edinburgh. Clean, welcoming and quiet. Tucked just out of the busy busy but right in the middle of easy walking to transportation and historical sites. And a great bar for an end of the day nip to top off the day.

23 mrt 2026

Excellent stay. Good value. Thanks

23 mrt 2026

A great property with a perfect location. The room was clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet which was terrific after a day of sightseeing.

22 mrt 2026

Were not advised of the ongoing works in the hotel. Allocated an accessible room again without being advised. Not the MotelOne experience I am used to.

21 mrt 2026

Difficult to turn the room temperature down

18 mrt 2026

The room was very clean everything was very functional. The staff was very nice and helpful. Only thing was the WiFi not working.

17 mrt 2026

Hotel a stones throw from the train station. Asked if we could leave bags prior to check in but was pleasantly surprised when informed room was ready for an earlier check in. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Nice to have the late check out time of 12.00 noon. Train not until after 4pm so hotel happy to securely store bags to allow further time to explore beautiful Edinburgh. Would definitely come again. Room spotlessly clean and decent size with views over to the castle.

17 mrt 2026

Disappointed that the hotel’s Wi-fi never worked during our 4 day stay.

17 mrt 2026

Very convenient location. Quiet and comfortable. Great shower and towels. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.

17 mrt 2026

Fantastic service and wonderful staff

17 mrt 2026

Our first time at this particular hotel and we had as we have found in the past at others in the group a very pleasant and comfortable stay. Just one disappointing point was that the duvet cover had a couple of ripped holes. This won't put us off staying again as all other aspects, staff, cleanliness, facilities and buffet breakfast were spot on.

17 mrt 2026

This was my third visit and again, rooms are comfortable and clean and the staff are excellent.

17 mrt 2026

I staed in one of the rooms on the first floor of the hpotel and have been asigned similar rooms previously. Whilst the rooms are ok - they are becoming drab and dreary. a fresh lick of paint, new carpet - opening windows and a general refresh would do these rooms the world of good.

Great location. Friendly staff. Clean and comfortable room.

Erg goed hotel. Uitstekende ligging t.o.v. het station en veel toeristische plekken. Nette kamer. Weinig last gehad van het geluid van de staat, goede geluidsisolatie. Ontbijtzaal was helaas erg krap opgesteld, erg dicht op elkaar. Onbijt was oke, maar niet erg uitgebreid. Wel glutenvrij brood op aanvraag en lactosevrije yoghurt.

Het hotel is centraal gelegen waardoor zowel de oude als nieuwe binnenstad zich op enkele minuten loopafstand bevinden. Ontvangst is hartelijk en de kamer (recentelijk opgeknapt en goed onderhouden tijdens ons verblijf ) ziet er goed uit. Men is het hotel aan het renoveren, maar daar merk je als gast zeer weinig tot niets van (je ziet bouwvakkers lopen maar van geluidsoverlast is geen sprake). Het ontbijt is prima in orde.

31 jul 2025

Er was geen airco in de kamer aanwezig, wat gezien de weersomstandigheden voor een ondraaglijk gevoel zorgde. Op de gang daarentegen had men wel een fris gevoel.

Wat een tophotel, super vriendelijk personeel, heel proper en superlekker ontbijt!

30 mrt 2025

Mooi, schoon centraal liggend hotel. Vriendelijk personeel. Heerlijk ontbijt. Het is alleen heel erg warm op de kamer .

27 feb 2025

Heel fijn hotel! Goede ligging en aardige mensen. De kamer was prima in orde. Ik kom hier zeker nog een keer terug!

Zeer mooi hotel op een toplocatie in de stad. Personeel is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Mooie grote kamers en zeer schoon.

16 okt 2024

Het hotel ziet er heel mooi uit, het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk, de locatie is echt top en de kamers zijn prima

05 aug 2024

Onze kamer was vreemd ingedeeld. We hadden een groot stuk als werkkamer en een ontzettend kleine badkamer. Er had beter een stuk van de werkkamer gepakt kunnen worden om de badkamer groter te maken. Er was geen kledingkast, wel hangers Geen koelkast of kluisje en geen airco, maar een soort ventilatiesysteem. Jammer! De kamer was schoon en het personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt was voldoende, geen warm ontbijt

Fijn hotel op top locatie. Aardig personeel, mooie ruime kamer, klasse badkamer, heerlijk groot bed. Genoeg stopcontacten, waterkoker, föhn plus alle kleine details. Bovendien kan het raam open. Volgende keer kom ik graag weer!
