Good points: the hotel and rooms are very clean, the bed is comfortable, the location is great and the staff are polite and friendly. Bad points: the room was very hot, with the air conditioning providing very little air. The window opens about 3-4 inches, but not much airflow from that, as the window is in a small courtyard facing other rooms (so no views at all either, although I was not expecting them). The room was very basic. The design/deco was not very welcoming (all walls plain white) and the room was quite small. There was no side tables, so telephone charging and water bottle (which we bought) had to be put on the floor. No water glasses, only some disposable cups for coffee/tea. The bathroom was very clean, but very small and no good pressure from the shower. Overall, I don't think it was good value.

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
