Room was pretty basic and nothing impressive obviously for the price. Value for money though!

Great location. Train station was right across the hotel so no need to struggle with bags (this is KEY in Edinburgh it’s extremely hilly with cobbled floors and rainy so I’d really recommend this place if you don’t have a car). Room was huge as we got an accessible room.

Nothing, all fantastic.

They decorated for Taylor Swift, it was so cute but also 10/10 effort!

I was only there for one night so it was fine for me but there isn’t a lot of clothes storage there’s just a rail attached to the wall with 3 hangers. So fine if you’re good with living out of a suitcase but if you were staying more than one night or there was two people and you had stuff that needed hanging there is not a lot of room

Location, friendliness of the staff, irn bru and cookies left as a welcome gift. Modern room, gorgeous bathroom

Very limited storage in the room. We only stayed for 2 nights and had 1 bag with us. But if you were staying for longer than that, you would be hard pressed for storage space.

It was in the best location. We lovedt hat it was across the road from the train station and not too far from the bus station and everything else!

There was no wardrobe in the room , just a rail with a few hangers on it . Not the end of the world though and no bedside table so we pulled a chair up to put our phone on etc…

Location was great , train station was literally across the road . Great view across part of the city . Bed was comfortable. Room was clean . Staff at reception were very friendly and great to have tea/coffee facilities in room .

Not a lot of interaction with reception staff; sometimes it’s nice to be welcomed back by a friendly face.

The location was excellent - close to tourist attractions, shops and restaurants. The view from the window was great. There is a modern bar on site. The room attendants were friendly and helpful.

The room was sparse and basic, it didn't have the same feel as the communal areas.

The bar area is nice and the location is perfect for the station and main tourist sites.

Motel One is a motel. It's not a misnomer just because it's a hop and a skip from the royal mile. Anyway, issues we faced: 1. Room didn't have a well-functioning HVAC - after showers, the room would get very hot (in mid-April). 2. The room didn’t have a fridge. This was very inconvenient since we stayed for 5 days and would have liked the ability to store food items and have cold water for drinking. 3. Bathroom had limited storage (for toiletry kits etc). Small 4inch deep glass shelves - why?! 4. None of the bathroom soap, shampoo dispensers got refilled. One time, I left the bottle caps off thinking the cleaning staff would see them and know to refill. But we returned to a room with those caps still off and no refills. I don't think they even saw any of them (including those on the sink - first thing you see when you get in!), which made me worry about the level of cleaning. 5. Towels were threadbare. Time to cycle them out, guys.

Location. Size of room. Bathroom size. Shower area had enough room, unlike most UK hotels. Good storage in the room.

Room was quite small

Lovely hotel in a great location, directly across from Waverly Station. Room was very clean and we had a lovely city view

We were not allowed breakfast before 7, in spite of it all being ready. I was there for an early 1/2 marathon as were many other runners - it would have been nice if they could have allowed us breakfast!

Location and price compared to other properties

Elevators were often busy and there are only 2. I was placed in a room adapted for wheelchair, which I can see how good it can be for people who require that, but not so great for people who don’t require. (Bathroom sink was very low, shower was too low, there was no furniture in the room)

The breakfast is good and the value is worthy. The views from the restaurant are lovely.
