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.

Its ok
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.

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
