Very central to the Royal Mile and Waverley train station. The room was small, but had everything we needed and nice quality bathroom fixtures. Breakfast was outstanding. Many cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops conveniently located nearby. It took the airlines three days to deliver our luggage and during that time the motel one staff was amazing. Very attentive and helpful and we certainly would come back.
This is a great hotel to stay in a convenient location as a first time visitor. The staff was friendly and helpful, AJ was very good because he was professional and provided outstanding service during my stay. The hotel was so clean and simple. The breakfast bar was amazing. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone who plans to visit. Thank you!
I had to return to reception to get the key activated which had not been done at check in, so slightly miffed.
It would have been convenient to have a small fridge in the room at nearly £200 per night.
Stay was great here! Perfect location..right by the train and walking distance to all the sights. Staff were really friendly and lovely to deal with. Can be loud if you have the window open but totally fine when it’s closed.

Great spot but don’t stay in 4th floor in the summer (warm weather). The air doesn’t work well and it get hot!
Great location, but not the best quality hotel considering the price.
If you book through hotels.com you will get an accessible room, not great if you don’t require everything on a lower level.
You can find better in down the price in Edinburgh
Very good medium price hotel. Breakfast optional. Ok. Coffee poor, ran out of items slow to replace. Advise use gor bed comfortable. And excellent shower. Breakfast maybe for convenience. Staff arpund motel unfriendly. Reception staff very good.

Easy access to Waverly Station and the Royal Mile. Very over priced for the room but we liked being close to Waverly.
