- Charles (10/5): -
- Deeann (8/5): -
- Birgit (9/5): - Lage!!! Direkt alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig erreichbar! Frühstück in der Lobby war etwas unkomfortabel
- Neil (8/5): - Great location and comfortable lounge Expensive but it is Edinburgh
- Mark (8/5): - Great location across the road from Edinburgh Waverley train station. Bed and room were very comfortable. Can't think of anything.
- Ahmad (4/5): -
- lekim (10/5): -
- Gustavo (10/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Très agréable - Très très bien et bon.
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Enrique (7/5): It was better than an AirBnB - I loved the location. Ana on the front desk was super friendly and helpful. 1. bathroom door slams
2. no lock on bathroom door
3. no phone in room
4 no water pressure
5. breakfast was same every day, and mainly carbs and sugars
6. only 16 tv channels and 4 were news, 2 or 3 where American shows, 2 if you were lucky were british/scottish shows, 2 had sign language interpretation in the bottom right corner, and all the rest were home shopping networks
7. no refrigerator available for rooms, even if you upgrade
8. they control when heating versus cooling is on in rooms
9. only 1 small trash can permitted per room even if you request another
10. when I sat on bed I thought it would be comfy because it was clearly a memory foam BUT bed turned out to be very hard when sleeping
- Rudolf (8/5): über alles sehr gut - no comment no comment
- John (4/5): Never stay there again - No shelves, no drawers, no means to hang cloths ,no heat Way to costly for what was offered
- Giorgio (8/5): -
- James (8/5): Enjoyable, if slightly expensive, stay with a pleasant lounge/bar area and excellent staff. - Excellent location and excellent, helpful staff. No view from a rather odd room and it was pricey.
- Heinz (9/5): Alles tip top, gerne wieder. - Super schöner Essbereich. Gemütlich und unkompliziert.
- Valerya (7/5): top locatie! - - dit is het ideale hotel als je graag pal in midden van de stad wilt zijn. uitstekende locatie alles heel toegankelijk. oude stad , winkelstraat , bussen allemaal op korte wandelafstand!
- proper!
- vriendelijk personeel - kamertemp kon je niet regelen. wij vonden het een beetje te fris in de kamer.
daarmee dat we het wat raar vonden dat er maar 1 dekbed was maar niet nog een extra laken. dit hebben we wel gekregen na aanvraag.
- ontbijt setting sloeg tegen. dit was namelijk in de lounge waar je binnenkomt. er is geen extra ruimte waar dit kan. De lounge bestaat uit allerlei kleine zittingen en kleine tafeltjes. er waren maar enkele gewone tafeltjes.
Dus als je op het verkeerde moment kwam ontbijten met iedereen tegelijk was er eigenlijk geen plek. en moest je wachten tot je zelf plek zag en dan nog zat je nog niet echt comfortabel. Dus ik raad aan om of te wel heel vroeg of heel laat te komen ontbijten. dit mag den wel iets zijn dat in het concept misschien past van het hotel, maar voor de prijs kwaliteit zou dit wel beter mogen.
Het ontbijt op zich was wel degelijk (continentaal).
- vilma (8/5): - Locatin is excellent, close to everything .
Staff are helpful & friendly. I was provided with extra heater when my room was colder than my preference.
Room is clean & bigger, breakfast has great selections,
I was provided with breakfast box coz I have to check out earlier. Room is outdated, maybe better to change into fresh , lighter & more appealing color of drapes & carpet.
- Amanda (10/5): - How close it was to the royal mile and transport in and out of the city.
The breakfast.
Staff were very friendly. Nothing!
- Myriam (9/5): -
- Nicole (9/5): Ci sono città belle. E poi c’è Edimburgo. - - posizione
- colazione
- camera spaziosa e ben curata
- personale cordiale e competente - unica pecca: la camera era un po’ “fredda” (nessun cambiamento con il regolatore di temperatura e ventilazione).
- Carmen (8/5): Muy lindo hotel con ubicación excepcional - Lo mejor: la ubicación! A unos metros de la estación de tren y de la Royal Mile. Muy amable el personal. Tiene ascensor, viajando con una persona mayor o con movilidad reducida es muy importante. Muy chiquita la habitación . Solo viajábamos con carry on, si hubiéramos estado con valijas grandes no sé cómo hacíamos.
- Andreas (7/5): - Das Zimmer war sehr klein.
- Andre (9/5): Very good. - Location Bathroom door doesn’t stay open.
- Gabor (10/5): -
- paulina (10/5): -
- Ronald (8/5): - We liked the location. The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. The room was small. We had no view.
- Shane (8/5): -
- Syn Yew (8/5): It was a good comfortable stay to explore Old Town, and it serves our needs. - Convenient, accessible location and it is is truly a 5 min walk from Edinburgh Waverly station, so it saves you the effort of dragging luggage up and down across Old Town.
We love the hotel location in the old town, right next to Cockburn Street and with easy access to the Royal Mile for exploring by foot. We booked a standard room, so it is small and with no views. We probably got a room next to one of those pubs on Cockburn Street, as we could hear party noises on both nights we stayed.
The air conditioner wasn’t working even though we don’t really need it, but the room feels stuffy after a while.
So we ended up opening the windows to let the cold air in.
- anna-rosa (5/5): Staden fantastisk hotellet väldigt bra läge men borde fått reducerat pris pga kylan i rummet - Läget är perfekt och frukosten väldigt bra
Mysig lobby Fruktansvärt kallt i rummet. Det gick inte att få höjd temperatur då den var centralt reglerad och avstängd fom ngt datum
Vi fick låna flera extra täcken att linda in oss i när vi var på rummet och när vi skulle sova
De element som de hade för utlåning var redan utlånade till andra gäster
- Grecco (10/5): Excellent Stay! - Super helpful and friendly staff, great location walkable from the train station, comfortable room, and we really enjoyed the common areas where we had a drink while people watching. No improvements to report.
- Charles (10/5): Great room and great location. - we have stayed at several Motel one across Europe and this one had the most spacious room we had ever seen in a this Hotel Chain. As usual it was perfect and well located. everything was perfect.
- leenakp (9/5): Ihanan iso, viehättävä ja siisti huone - Aamiaista en käyttänyt, sijainti erinomainen lähellä vanhaa kaupunkia ja rautatieasema vieressä Huone oli melko kylmä, onneksi saimme lisälämmittimen
- Susan (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Great location right at the bottoms of Cockburn Street, super easy to access from train station and airport tram or bus. Also, the breakfast was a great deal. Delicious, well laid out, lots of options. Nothing
- beltanegirl (9/5): - Good location, close to all amenities Not enough tea and milk in the room but staff happy to supply extra
- Mariella (10/5): - La struttura è ubicata in una posizione strategica, centrale, vicina alla stazione dei treni e alla fermata del bus per l'aeroporto. Lo staff accogliente e disponibile, la camera spaziosa, molto pulita, accogliente e silenziosa. Ottima la colazione e piacevole l'ambiente dedicato.
- Hans (8/5): - Sehr gutes Frühstück. Gute Lage Etwas kleine Zimmer und nicht Preiswert
- Anthea (8/5): -
- Nancy (8/5): - Very nice, good location, good room and bed
- Helga (8/5): Heerlijk! - gelegen op een mooie en centrale locatie, ongedwongen sfeer, hartelijk en behulpzaam personeel, schoon, uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet, ruime kamer, alles benodigdheden aanwezig of op te vragen. de kamer was de 1e avond erg kil. Blijkbaar was het klimaatsysteem net overgezet naar koelen ipv verwarmen. Een kacheltje was beschikbaar bij de receptie, maar het duurde wel even voordat het aangenaam was.
- Robert (9/5): Good stay. - Nice room, bed was obviously 2 single beds pushed together. Created big lump in middle.
Location was good. Room was clean. Breakfast was good. A bit expensive for the quality. No water provided in room (or cookies). I stay in ~20 hotels on my Belgium / Scotland holiday and this was the priciest and only one that didn't provide water.
- Coronel (9/5): Espectacular - tremendamente bien ubicado
- Olga Belova (8/5): It’s ok -
- Denise (10/5): -
- Rita (10/5): Perfecta - La ubicación, la limpieza, lo cómodo, lo bonito Nada que mencionar aquí
- pamela (8/5): -
- Monica (9/5): -
- Nola (9/5): -
- Debbie (6/5): - Rooms basic for money ....view minamal. Breakfast buffet for money it cost .
- Katalin (10/5): Central but quiet location in Edinburgh - Excellent location, friendly staff, cosy rooms, great breakfast
- Grzegorz (7/5): - The location is excellent, very central and very near the Weaverly train station. There was no typical window, but a roof window instead, located very high up, in a sort of channel. The window couldn't be opened and it was too warm in the room. Breakfast was pretty vanilla, the bread was stale - a far cry from english/scottish type breakfasts.
- Klaus (9/5): -
- Johannes Hermanus (10/5): -
- Albane (10/5): - Tout Rien
- Virginia Leitão (10/5): - Its located in the BEST street , next to a loooot of nice things to see, room service and breakfast was great.
- khulud (10/5): - Everything and everyone
Local perfect
Staff excellent
Food phenomenal
Cleanliness 10/10 N/A
- Clarissa (10/5): We thought the location was perfect. - We didn’t eat the breakfast
- Tom (9/5): - Perfect location for us.
- Helen (8/5): -
- Suzanne (7/5): Location was the best part - Beds, quiet, breakfast, location in Old Town, 5 minutes to Waverley train station and New Town, magnifying mirror in bathroom Shower doesn't have a curtain so floor got all wet, not enough storage space, cold in the room and bathroom, would have liked to see salads at breakfast
- SheiLima (10/5): Praticidade do aeroporto ao centro ✈️🏨 - A localização é perfeitaaaaa, principalmente por ficar praticamente em frente ao ponto final do Airlink 100, que vem direto do aeroporto. Zero preocupação com Uber ou táxi, o ônibus custa £8.50 e o ponto fica a apenas 2 minutos do hotel. ✨
Além disso, o hotel é super bem localizado, dá para fazer praticamente tudo a pé pela cidade. Ameiiii a experiência, com certeza me hospedaria lá novamente. Breakfast simples, funciona bem para começar o dia, mas esperava mais opções quentes 🍳. Faltaram clássicos como ovos mexidos e bacon 🥲. Senti falta de um English breakfast mais completo 🇬🇧✨.
- Jens (9/5): -
- Katarina (10/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): Super Lage - Super zentral gelegen und sehr freundliches Personal. Sehr gutes Bett. Die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein (Haare vom Vorgänger auf WC). Der Frühstücksbereich ist Durchgangsbereich, immer wieder gehen unterschiedliche Türen auf und Kälte kommt rein. Es war immer sehr voll und die Tische teilweise so niedrig, dass man nicht richtig essen konnte.
- sofia (10/5): -
- Anneliese (10/5): -
- Katharina (8/5): Tolle Lage für einen Städtetrip - Tolle Lage in der Altstadt. Von der Princess Street Tram Station sind es ca 10 Minuten zum Hotel. Das Zimmer war groß und das Bad war schön neu renoviert. Das Frühstück war lecker. Freundliches Personal am Empfang. Man ist mit ein paar Schritten in der Altstadt und es gibt hier haufenweise Cafés und Restaurants. Die Waverly Train Station ist quasi direkt vor der Haustür. Eine Steckdose im Bad wäre gut um Haare zu föhnen.
Preis war heftig. Ich bin ja Einzelzimmeraufschlag gewohnt, aber mit über 300 Euro pro Nacht war das hier mit Abstand das teuerste Hotel was ich je gebucht habe.

- Marie Caroline (10/5): Génial !! - Super hôtel ! Hyper bien placé, propre, personnel accueillant et souriant ! Chambre nickel, literie très bonne, tout le confort d’un bon hôtel.
Très bon petit déjeuner, varié, pour tous les goûts! Les bonbons de l’hôtel sont irrésistibles !!!
- PAULA (9/5): Wonderful stay! - The hotel was clean, the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Good breakfast with good variety! The lobby/reception area is very comfortable and inviting with plenty of seating areas to enjoy breakfast or a drink in the evening. The location is perfect for exploring the city. Nothing…everything was great!
- Beatrice (8/5): -
- Romeo (10/5): Der Aufenthalt im Motel One Edinburgh-Royal ist ideal für eine Besichtigung der Stadt. - Sehr zentrale Lage in der wunderschönen Altstadt von Edinburgh Nichts
- Keith (10/5): Excellent Hotel and location. - Location of property to station, bus to airport and all major attractions. Nothing.
- Taylor (10/5): -
- Greeson (9/5): - The lobby was cozy and welcoming. It was just the respite I needed for a cup of tea in the afternoon. I loved it all!
- David (6/5): - Location Confusing interior layout, difficult to find room initially. Front desk staff just meh
- Rachel (8/5): -
- Nina (10/5): Great stay in a great location with a great staff! - The staff was excellent and location is central to walking to all the places we wanted to go. Nothing
- Jane (9/5): will book again - finding seating at breakfast was tricky. no system at breakfast bar either.
- caroline (9/5): Bra läge, nära royal mile och restauranger mm. God frukost - Perfekt läge. Bra frukost, saknade bacon och äggröra men annars fanns allt att önska. skulle önskat en bäddmadrass på sängen.
- Thomas (5/5): -
- Jules (6/5): Très bon emplacement pour visiter la ville mais chambre trop petite. - Chambre très petite sans climatisation pour réguler la température. Les nuits étaient particulièrement chaudes et désagréables.
- Inga (10/5): -
- Denis (9/5): Great facilities, great location and very nice staff - Location was great for us
- Nancy (8/5): Convenient and pleasant - The locations was great. The lobby and free hot beverages and water available 24/7 were wonderful. We also enjoyed the bar after a long day of sight seeing. The rooms were quite small and no place to put your things in the bathroom. Also the shower head sprayed close to the wall no matter how you placed it instead of spraying in the middle of the shower.
