Motel One Royal is a great option if you wanna be a block away from the royal mile and within a walking distance from a lot of tourist atractions. Right in the verge of Old Town, you have access to both Old & New Town Edinburgh, history & shopping, a lot of restaurants and pubs to choose from. Facilities are beatiful and clean, staff is really friendly and helpful (although at night they’re harder to find at the reception desk). If it’s your fist time to the city, this hotel is perfect spot to be! Highly recommended!

Excellent location

The hotel should print instructions in other languages and explain how to use the thermostat and how to open/close skylights. Instructions - if they exist - are in German, and the little pictures on what appears to be the thermostat (?) are incomprehensible.

Edinburgh break

Excellent location right next to Waverly station,have stopped before and would probably stop again due to its location. Room was a little small and spartan but was lovely and clean,only had a shower and the towels were very small. Had kettle and tea and coffee gear but only used cheap nasty paper cups.

We always stay in motel 1 when visiting Edinburgh as it is so central to the city centre. Motel 1 u need to teach certain bar staff how to greet people 1 guy in particular not friendly no chat just seem rude and when u didn’t leave a tip he would have torn the debit bill from the card machine aggressively no manner that’s y no tip was left.

Overall was good. I was a bit testy with the receptionist male, but I found out he was the only one working (from the sister hotel) at the time (reception, and baggage room) we were trying to check in. Turned out the whole hotel staff were sitting at an all day staff meeting in the breakfast dinning area. When I checked out I tried to tell them that maintenance should check the room thermostat, as we had problems with excessive heat around 2am. Did not really want to know in my Opinion.

Liked it - would definitely book again.

The hotel room was a bit spartan, but the bed was comfortable enough, it was clean, and the basics all covered. The location is amazing though. Right by Waverley Station, perfect for buses to the airport, taxi rank very close. I can easily see myself staying there again. The only issue was the bedroom was overly hot and the window wouldn’t open sufficiently to ventilate it as much as I’d have liked. The price was very good as well.
