A great hotel centrally located . Clean modern trendy boutique decor. Felt really safe , great view over to Edinburgh Castle
Have stated in hotel a few times but this time loads workmen in although not making noise it was inconvenient sometimes waiting for lifts and disruptions round reception area. Overall. It too bad
Overall we had a nice stay. It was the 2nd time we came to this hotel because of the excellent location, cleanliness and very friendly staff. However we were disappointed in your breakfast offer. The first 2 days were surely acceptable (although some scrambled eggs would be nice), but on 26/08 breakfast was not ok. There was not even a simple fresh loaf of bread, only half frozen sandwiches and old bread for toast. We paid 300 euros/night and for that price you can expect some freshly baked bread.If breakfast would be improved we would surely give an 8/10.
Enjoyed our 2-night stay at Motel One Princes! Hotel is right on top of the Apple Store. Got free upgrade to a room with view and our window looks out directly at the Balmoral Hotel. Very easy access to shopping and dinning. Highly recommend!
Location and staff were great! The bed is extremely hard and the ac did not work well.
There is no free water in the room. The curtains do not block the sun. I will gladly repeat the visit. I thank the reception staff for their kindness.
Really nice hotel , picked as was cheapest at the time , really pleased with it staff were lovely and helpful , hotel was clean bar was nice Great location , would definitely stay again
Location is great but the room felt like I was in a prison cell. Bed and pillows were hard as a rock. It was a cramped space with no where to set our things down in the room or bathroom. I felt like this was severely overpriced compared to other hotels who would’ve had better accommodations.
Room 410 was fine, except I don't think the air conditioning worked at all. Location would be fine but the main street is very noisy with sirens and people yelling at all hours of the night making sleep difficult. The room price was very steep when it doesn't include breakfast. I was not used to that coming from the US where they are always included. That said the staff was wonderful. Very nice and helpful.
Professional staff, excellent welcome. Richiesta breakfast. Prices a bit high
The hotel was clean and lovely. But my favorite part was the bartender (Murphy) and the front desk clerk (Cameron). They were so fun to chat with and I was even sad to say bye to them on my last night there. Amazing hotel.
My stay at Motel One Princes Edinburgh was perfect. It started with a smooth and friendly check-in and I was happy to receive a cozy room on the top floor as requested. The room itself was really clean and pretty quiet. I really liked the breakfast and lounge area which was perfect to have tea and spend time with family. This was my first stay at a Motel One and I would be happy to try one in another city.
Enjoyable stay as usual. Lovely large bed for a great nights sleep.
The staff is wonderful. Very helpful and pleasant. Breakfast was pretty good too (continental but with various choices). My favorite place was the lobby/dining room where the 24-hour bar is located and where one can purchase snacks all day/night. Our room felt rather small and there are few amenities. But the website does make that clear. Also, excellent location.
Excellent staff. Very central for train station and shopping. Enjoyed breakfast. Would recommend to friends.
Very welcoming and super-efficient thank you! Just very disappointed to have had to pay a premium price because Oasis were playing; we left the hats in our room
The staff were so helpful and friendly with sparkling personalities. The breakfasts were all wonderful, plenty of great choices. The only disappointments were the costs of staying there and the lack of a refrigerator in the room. I am aware that prices are high during August in Edinburgh and that the exchange rate is detrimental to American tourists but the staff, room, and breakfast partially made up for the high cost. I will stay in a Motel One again, try to avoid high tourist season and hope for a better exchange rate!
The air conditioning was not working the entire time, windows did not open enough to let any air in, the pillows were too soft and 2 different sizes so unable to stack them, the bed was awfully had l, barely any storage in the room, no fridge so had to repeatedly buy expensive water from the bar as tap water came out tasting odd and not cold.due to the outside temprature. I've never had these issues at a Premier inn. I'd suggest adding a mini fridge to the room if the air conditioning isn't able to be fixed
Very friendly and professional staff. Love the vibe, awesome continental breakfast.
Lovely clean rooms and staff very helpful
Air conditioning did not work. The room was very hot which made sleep very difficult all night. This particularly was annoying as we were charged 2x or 3x the usual room price due to Fringe demand. Reception and staff were good.
Perfect base for anything central . For us was during fringe
Extremely expensive because of the Oasis concert.
We had a great stay. The team was fantastic, always smiling, and nothing was too much. They were very friendly. The room was great and quiet (with a view). Also, the location was spot on, right next to the train station. Thank you again, team One-Motel Princes Street.
Terrific location. Lovely breakfast. Nice people.
Always a great place to stay, lovely staff and amazing location. Hotel was undergoing renovations so some things were not at their best but nothing special.
staff very pleasant and helpful, room spacious and clean, ideal location. overall a very enjoyable stay
Too expensive for what one gets! The construction workers were very friendly and kind.
An excellent stay at this Motel One location- possibly the fastest check-in time ever with super friendly staff. Lovely room, clean and comfortable. We were visiting for the Oasis concert and even had an added treat of 2 bucket hats! Bar staff on the evening were also amazing, a credit to the team.
I'm mostly a fan but find the lack of storage a nuisance, when staying longer than for one night. A smallish unit with a drawer or two would make a huge difference.
The only positive thing I can say about this hotel is its good location. Unfortunately, that’s where the compliments end. It is extremely expensive for what is offered, and the value for money is absolutely not worth it. The room was incredibly basic, with barely any space to move around. There was no coffee machine, and they only provide one bottle of water for the entire stay for two people, which is honestly ridiculous. Our room faced a street with a restaurant/bar, and we had noise all night long, making it almost impossible to sleep. Despite noting on our booking that we were celebrating my birthday, the hotel didn’t offer even the smallest gesture. I actually had to ask for the bottle of water. I would never stay here again, and frankly, they should be charging a quarter of their current rates, because that’s all it’s worth.
Whilst the room looked lovely and the view was amazing I was very disappointed that the bed sheet has urine stains on it, there was no hair dryer and no shower gel shampoo or conditioner considering I paid £498 for my stay it certainly wasn’t worth it at all mattress was uncomfortable too and I was disgusted at the urine stained bed sheets totally disgraceful feel robbed of my money and I will not be returning when I’m next back at Edinburgh
Had a lovely stay! No notes.
Very nice stay, good location, facilities and nice clean rooms. New bar member on training when we were staying could have been supported by another more experienced bar member and not the Check in Desk staff. Felt like that caused an unnecessary bottleneck.
Motel One Edinburgh is a true gem for any traveler seeking both style and convenience. The hotel’s unique and contemporary design blends effortlessly with touches of classic charm, creating an inviting atmosphere the moment you step through the doors. Its location is simply unbeatable – just a short stroll from the train station, making arrivals and departures a breeze. From here, you can easily explore the very heart of Edinburgh. The magnificent Edinburgh Castle, the winding cobbled streets of Old Town, and the vibrant Royal Mile are all within walking distance. Countless cafes, shops, and historic landmarks are right at your doorstep, allowing you to soak in the city’s character without the need for long commutes. Whether you’re visiting for a short city break or an extended stay, Motel One offers the perfect combination of modern comfort, striking style, and a prime location that places you in the center of all the magic Edinburgh has to offer.
I might have appreciated your hotel, but your booking/communications need SIGNIFICANT improvement. More than half the time, I receive emails in German (rather than English) when I booked a hotel in ENGLAND and I live in the US. Moreover, the way you describe "free cancellation" during Fringe Festival month is extremely misleading. Why would you even refer to a free cancellation when the date by which you have to cancel is almost a year PRIOR to me even having made the reservation?? Also, the entrance to the hotel gives a HORRIBLE first impression for a hotel that I spent more than $400/night for 4 nights. Your entrance to the hotel is absurd, like I'm entering a cheap subterraneous convenience store. The actual lobby gives nothing of the impression you get from the pictures on your website because the lighting is so dark. All your doors have the look of a utility closet, and my immediate impression of the hotel upon arrival is that it is dark, dreary and depressing. The accommodations are sparse as well. For $400 per night, your hotel offers ONE wastebasket in the bathroom, none in the bedroom, the wifi constantly goes out and has to be reset by the front desk, no toiletries of any kind and a combo wash/shampoo soap, ONE water bottle for a stay whether it be 4 nights (which was us) or 1 night, and a heater brought to the room when it got cold. Your hotel feels cheap and unkind. I understand the prices double for the festival, but perhaps in exchange for such fortuitous events, you can increase your hospitality during the months you overcharge. Extremely disappointed and put off by your hotel operations.
I’ll be honest that I was really disappointed with the hotel. The standard of room was poor! Tiny, stuffy and the drains in the bathroom smelled. I paid £250+ per night without breakfast. I know it is Edinburgh fringe but this is still extortionate considering I was put into a non renovated room. Due to the lack of AC I did not sleep on my first night, a staff member suggested a fan and I asked them to put one in my room however this did not appear so I had two nights of very little sleep due to the heat. I visited reception to get an ice bucket and the iron / ironing board. Difficult to carry everything and no offer of help. When I asked for help they agreed (no others customers to serve), but I was kindly reminded by the young man they do not offer room service but will help on this occasion! There really was no need to say this and this kind of attitude really annoyed me considering the money paid. I was wondering if this was why the fan wasn’t put in my room.
Lovely clean hotel and very central
Great location, and well appointed rooms. Exactly what I needed.
Clean and updated. The room was comfortable and had a great view of the city. The breakfast was beautifully presented with lots of options. The common areas and room were well decorated. The bed was a bit hard and there was ongoing construction but it didn't interrupt our stay. It's also very easy and close to the train station.
Friendly staff who clearly wanted to help ensure that your stay at the motel was enjoyable.
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!
Mooi, schoon centraal liggend hotel. Vriendelijk personeel. Heerlijk ontbijt. Het is alleen heel erg warm op de kamer .
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.
Het hotel ziet er heel mooi uit, het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk, de locatie is echt top en de kamers zijn prima
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!
Erg schoon voor zover ik dat kan bekijken. Prettig personeel.

Edinburgh heeft als hoofdstad van Schotland een zeer rijke koninklijke geschiedenis. In ons Motel One Edinburgh Princes hebben wij op gedurfde wijze koninklijke Schotse elementen in het design geïntegreerd en verwelkomen wij u met een koninklijke designmix van antieke kroonluchters en luxueuze zetels in velours. Vanaf het zitgedeelte van de bar op de tweede verdieping hebt u een prachtig uitzicht op de beroemde Princes Street en het historische Edinburgh.
In onze One Lounge start u de dag niet alleen met een gezond ontbijt in koninklijke stijl, maar is het ook 's middags en 's avonds heerlijk ontspannen in het gezelschap van de koninklijke hoogheden.
