Motel One Edinburgh-Princes

22 jul 2026

Great location and nice, clean rooms. Our room was on the 1st floor, and it was pretty miserable not being able to open the windows because the AC did not work well. We received one bottle of water on arrival, but they wouldn't give any more after that. Every other hotel during our visit offered as much water as needed. Breakfast was pretty mediocre, nothing hot. It was overall a decent value, just not really any extras.

Friendly and a good location

Stayed here several times now. Location can’t be beaten. Just such a brilliant location to walk to anywhere in the city. Rooms are quite basic but all you need for a city break. Very clean. Bar area clean & welcoming. Can’t comment on breakfast as have never had breakfast at the hotel. Staff are very friendly & helpful. Love this hotel.

From arrival to departure eveything was great. I was allowed in before 3pm and got a very welcome upgrade. Thank you.

Whilst the room was an adequate size, the bed comfortable and check in was smooth and friendly. That’s where the positives end. The shower temperature was not consistent and only having plastic cups was poor. The biggest disappointment was no fridge in the room! The room was ‘cleaned’ but obvious was done with little care or attention to detail.

Fijn verblijf gehad. We kwamen al op tijd aan, en wilden graag onze bagage vast kwijt, maar we konden zelfs al onze kamer in :)

Very clean and efficient service- they even accommodated my earlier check-in request. Excellent location!

The location was fantastic, you can see right over Princes St ftom the bar. The staff were very friendly & accommodating. I would definitely recommrnd this hotelfor a stay in Edinburgh.

The staff are amazing, especially the super friendly woman from Aotearoa New Zealand at reception. Everyone was kind. But the rooms are pretty horrible. The pump for body wash in our shower was not working properly, the bed side tables were minuscule, and nowhere to put clothes, except three hangers. Having stayed in so many hotels across Europe and the UK, it is hard to see how the room was worth 250 GBP a night. Convenient yes, but very over priced, I guess typical for Edinburgh.

Great location, lovely staff, easy check-in & out, comfy bed and good shower! 😊

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

13 jul 2026

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.

13 jul 2026

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!

08 jul 2026

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.

07 jul 2026

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!

Fijn hotel, mooie kamers. Vriendelijk personeel dat altijd klaar staat voor je. Locatie is perfect. Waterdruk in douche minimaal maar verder prima.

07 jul 2026

The location,the staff,the food is perfect.

07 jul 2026

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!

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.

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

04 jul 2026

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

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.

26 apr 2026

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!
