8/10 Very Good

Liked it - would definitely book again.
The hotel room was a bit spartan, but the bed was comfortable enough, it was clean, and the basics all covered. The location is amazing though. Right by Waverley Station, perfect for buses to the airport, taxi rank very close. I can easily see myself staying there again. The only issue was the bedroom was overly hot and the window wouldn’t open sufficiently to ventilate it as much as I’d have liked. The price was very good as well.

Great for Edinburgh city centre
Have stayed in motel one hotels before. This one was in a great location on the edge of the old town and yet very handy to the new town. It is a budget hotel but cannot fault it for value for money. Would stay there again

Fantastic location and service.
Fantastic location opposite Waverley station. Great service from all members of staff. Room (363) very small with no view, however, it was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast expensive for continental, no hot option. Weatherspoons across the road for a cheaper option.

Location was perfect, convenient walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do, includi g the train station and bus from the airport. Rooms were comfortable and cozy, bathrooms were very well appointed. Lobby bar had a pleasant vibe. One elevator was out of service so stairs were difficult to negotiate with luggage. I can't imagine how someone with mobility issues would be accommodated. All in all we'd recommend it and consider staying again.

The ideal location in Edinburgh
The perfect location between Old Town and New Town. It was a quant hotel with easy access to transportation - the bus from the airport dropped us off just on the bridge across from the hotel. It's a bit of an odd layout and it was a bit of a maze to find the room. But it was comfortable and we'd stay there again!
