Receptionist was awesome! Worked Thursday 26th around 11am! Room was incredibly warm, air conditioning didn’t work, just circulated air, the smell of cigarettes from the workmen on site as they smoked right outside the front door was awful.

Motel One is classy and a great location!

Close to the tram stop and Waverley rail station so very easy journey from the airport. Hotel staff very helpful and friendly and the bar, restaurant and rooms are very well presented. A short walk (10 mins) from the Royal Mile, The playhouse (7 mins) and Holyrood Park (20 mins) makes it an ideal location.
