The location of the hotel was excellent for the train, transit and the sites of Edinburgh. Our room had a smell of old smoke. It definitely took away from what would have been an excellent experience.

The hotel is in an incredible location, next to the rail station and handy to many of the major tourist sites in Edinburgh. The building’s renovations are tasteful and well done and the Motel One styling is great, but it is an older building, which showed through in some features. In particular, I felt like airflow in the room wasn’t quite up to par. The breakfast looked delicious, but I went with other local options. Housekeeping was excellent.
