Motel One Edinburgh-Princes

06 jul 2026

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.

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.

Very clean and nice staff

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.

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.

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

01 jul 2026

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

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.

24 jun 2026

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!!

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.

23 jun 2026

Excellent, friendly service in a fabulous position.

23 jun 2026

Friendly service and clean well appointed rooms. Buffet breakfast was great and the location absolutely the best!

22 jun 2026

All the staff were fantastic. The Bar was great apart from maybe try and get draught beer in Rooms were lovely

22 jun 2026

We love this hotel . The personal members are very polite and nice with their customers. Always with a smile in their face . The rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms modern and clean. Also, is a great location! Just crossing the street to Waverley train station. !

22 jun 2026

Absolutely great location / accessibility. Staff are very welcoming and really happy to help in any way. Hotel was very clean and tidy and the breakfast was good too. The rooms though are a little bit basic for the money and the pillows on the bed are not comfortable, one large square pillow and one slim rectangular pillow doesn't allow for a good, comfortable nights sleep. Also it was quite easy to hear the person in the room next door to me. I know these may seem small matters but they make a difference.

Zeer mooi hotel. Super goed gelegen om Edinburgh te ontdekken. Bij aankomst een upgrade gekregen met zicht op de stad. Ontbijt is goed.

21 apr 2026

Prima Hotel, centrale ligging. Niet goedkoop maar die zijn er bijna niet in Edinburgh. Goed ontbijt, continental

01 apr 2026

Centraal gelegen hotel. Mooie, schone kamers en zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.

22 sep 2025

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.

04 sep 2025

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.

10 apr 2025

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!

27 okt 2024

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

03 aug 2024

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!
