United KingdomGreat location, great staff, great facilities, very clean and modern, had a great stay, would highly recommend
United KingdomBeautiful modern clean hotel, very comfortable, very relaxing, very central to everything. Right beside the train station, art galleries, the royal mile, Edinburgh castle etc. Couldn't be in a better location for sight seeing and culture. Lots of lovely pubs and eateries close by. We got the bus straight from the airport to our hotel. The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful offering advice on tours and attractions. The hotel offers breakfast and light snaps however we were happy to eat out and try different restaurants. We managed to see Lion King while here in the Playhouse which was a 10 min walk from the hotel. We will definitely be back in Edinburgh and I won't be looking to stay anywhere else. Motel One Edinburgh Royal was perfect in everyway for us.
United KingdomLovely staff. Really helpful at breakfast as I am celiac. Gluten free bread and they toasted it separately for me. Gluten free cornflakes. Cozy and warm bar area. Kept cases after checkout.great location.close to station.
