Bacon for breakfast would be good. Room a bit chilly sometimes. Strange heating control.

The central Edinburgh location could not be better, literally just a few minutes walk from Waverley Station, the Prince's St Gardens, Prince's St, and the Royal Mile. And the reception staff were extremely accommodating and helpful, they allowed me to check in early, check out late so that I could go straight to catch a train, and also to upgrade (for additional payment) my room. On requesting a quiet room with a view I was given a very pleasant, large, light and airy room with a comfortable king side bed. Room was clean and well maintained, and I'd say the ensuite bathroom was at least 4 star standard, with nice granite tiling throughout, a good shower and very pleasant toiletries.

Rooms were big, great price and location was amazing. Staff friendly and they offer you to leave luggage both before check in and also when checking out.

The motel is close to Edinburgh Castle, Airlink100 bus stop and train station, nice restaurants and pubs. The room is comfortable, the staff nice and attentive. I would recommend to anyone to book this place.

The hotel is a 2 minute walk from Waverley Station, so really convenient if you are coming by train. Motel-One is a no-frills chain, but that said it still has everything in the room that I look out for - tea making facilities and a hairdryer. Despite being so central and close to the station the hotel was very quiet. This was my second stay, which says a lot.....
