Pros: 24 hours reception, near the main attraction Luggage storage, locker Good facilities, plug in etc each bed

Cons: So dirty especially the bathroom Wifi isn't strong enough in the room

Pros: We booked a private room for 2 nights. View of the castle right outside the front door!! The room was small but perfect for resting our heads after long days walking around the city. Sink in the room was convenient as well. Shared bathroom down the hall. There are so many different common lounge rooms so it was always easy to find a chair or sofa. Hostel was quiet and the free tea and coffee was an added bonus!! Would definitely stay again if we’re in Edinburgh!!!

Cons: Room was very small, top floor under pitched roof. Very hard for 2 adults to be standing and moving around at the same time. Could add another hook or two for clothes and towels.

Pros: Best location, helpful staff, big and comfortable common room (free coffee, tea, chocolate, milk, billards), beautifull castle-like decor, clean beds, cheap breakfast, funny names of rooms and beds :D

Cons: Floor covering in the room wasn't clean (there was like a animal hair on it?), small bathrooms.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Environment and relaxing time with upgrade of room at no extra cost to us....

Cons: Can’t say anything negative really

Pros: Perfect position, the best to visit the city. Fantastic Hotel, room nice and clean. In the bar/hall you can really “breath” the real scottish atmosphere!

Pros: Location, price and affordability, cool design, friendly staff, open lounge/bar/restaurant with good hours. Quiet rooms!

Cons: AWFUL WiFi- we resorted to paying roaming charges on our mobile phone b/c we needed to get online. No phone in room to call to lobby? Very little lounging furniture-even an extra armchair or loveseat would be nice. Name 'Motel One' cud be better:)

Pros: Well decorated - sensible use of space

Pros: See above!

Cons: I loved everything!

Pros: Breakfast was amazing. Really liked the locally produced honey and jams, the croisssants were really good. Love the new Motel ones that include the local style into the decorations. The staff was very friendly and the hotel is just walking distance to almost everything (Train Station, Castle, bus Station, hill, old town, Shopping area, Restaurant are etc etc..) Will definitely come back again!

Cons: Nothing at all. All good

Pros: What a hotel!!! Great location, extremely friendly and helpful staff - that includes cleaning staff. Can't praise this place enough: 12 out of 10!!! Nice comforatble rooms with all necessary facilities. Best value for money I've ever had!!!

Pros: Go to Edinburgh quite regularly, first time we have stayed here at The OneMotel, it won’t be the last! Fantastic location, right near the old town, the castle, Princes Gardens, and of course the shops, bars and restaurants. It was only a one night stay, a trip to Kings Theatre another great dinner at Tom Kitchin’s newest restaurant, The Southbank Scran......brilliant meal as per his normal standards!. This hotel is ideal for a one or two night stay, longer no so sure. Need some extras in the room for this. Overall very comfortable, warm and friendly hotel.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.....just a couple of points.....the sink in the bathroom, no plug and didn’t drain away. And why do they never put a shelves in bathrooms?....nowhere to put washing/shaving items. Silly, but a nuisance.

Pros: The location is excellent, both for seeing the city, and for transport (the airport bus stops 100 meters from the door, and the Waverley station entrance is not much farther

Pros: location

Cons: no double double rooms

Pros: The location of the hotel is just perfect in the center of Edinburgh, close to any point of interest. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly. We enjoyed time at the spa.

Cons: Little bit cold in the room, the transition from air conditioning mode to heating mode did not really work

Pros: The room was quite roomy but we paid extra for it when a couple next to ourselves got a free upgrade

Cons: As above but the hairdryer was melted on the end, it was changed ASAP but the room was very cold, the heater unit was not working very well at all.

Pros: The breakfast was as expected. The breakfast room was rather cramped. Actually we stayed 3 nights, Oct. 7 and 8 , Oct. 11. I was very upset the very first day of arrival. There was no hair dryer in the room. I asked for one and someone delivered an old old very inefficient dryer. We also had trouble adjusting the room temperature.

Cons: We had trouble finding your place. We took a train from Edinburgh and found it very difficult to get to your place from the train station. You should, on your web-site, mention how to get to your place if someone is carrying a couple of suitcases. Luckily, a nice kind lady inside the Waverly station told us to take the escalators all the way up to Princes St. and walk down on North Bridge St. towards your place.

Pros: Location, early check in, fab breakfast, good drinks and dinner....

Cons: Can't think of anything

Pros: Great location, superb interior design of the room. Very modern style

Cons: In-hotel gym was temporarely out of service bu the hotel offered a free entry at a partner gym

Pros: Spacious suite living room, separate half guest bath, Decent breakfast with separate order menu, gym had free weights to 30kg, location is on royal mile down road from castle (but for Christmas markets and shopping, a princess street hotel would been better), overall friendly staff.

Cons: 1. For a royal mile suite, main bathroom was standard. Overly spacious living room really could’ve spared space for a more comfortable bathroom befitting suite. 2. Website advertised kids eat free. However, when we ordered meals for the kids via room service, we were told it’s not free. Extremely deceptive and off putting of brand. 3. I emailed the hotel 1 week in advance of 4-day stay and asked for milk, orange juice, and water in room stocked and included room mini fridge. Email from customer service acknowledged request and even confirmed we still wanted wine and beer - a nice catch! However, when we arrived, we were informed juice and milk not included. False service promise should’ve not been made. Room service food was Not worth price (pizza, burger, and kids chicken meal were only ok but far more expensive than eaterery options all around).

Pros: Breakfast was amazing! Staff were very helpful and hospitality was good

Cons: The fridges were dirty and the carpets could do with new ones

Pros: The room

Cons: There was a refurb going on so had to put up with constant drilling was not relaxing

Pros: Old world charm meets modern amenities- you can't go wrong with this hotel right on the royal mike in Edinburgh. Excellent staff, well maintained rooms, and full service. Health club has good assortment of machines and free weights.

Cons: It's bloody cloudy in Scotland- spent an entire week and didn't see the sun once.

Pros: We upgraded to the executive suite. It was absolutely wonderful. Surpassed all our expectations. Amazing room with a wonderful view of the mile in Edinburgh.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very comfortable bed, good location, friendly staff, excellent pool and gym facilities.

Cons: Expensive, both the hotel, bar, restaurant and breakfast. Food was average, both breakfast and bar could do from more choice and healthy options to justify price.

Pros: The Hotel is located in a great spot! Close to restaurants and lots of main attractions, hop on hop off bus stop right in front of hotel. The staff was very pleasant and customer service was good.

Cons: It is a little outdated, they are in the works of renovation. clean bed, shower and bathrooms need a deep thorough cleaning not just wiping down BUT scrubbing with disinfectants.

Pros: Lovely view from our room

Pros: Staff were lovely.

Cons: Looking a bit tired. Desk in room had big scratch on it. Also, on a previous stay breakfast was on the top floor which was lovely. This time we were in the lower part of the ground floor restaurant. The continental breakfast choice was quite poor considering the price. The toast was merely warmed up bread and coffee wasn't particularly hot. My elderly parents in their 80s, who were also staying, were unable to shower as they couldn't get in or out of the very steep sided bath.

Pros: Everything was just perfect !!! Great location - quiet for sleeping - very comfortable !

Cons: Nothing !

Pros: The hotel was clean and comfortable, the food was very good and the staff in the restaurant and bar were friendly.

Cons: We had paid extra for a castle view room and the view was incredible however we were at the end of the corridor next to the cleaners cupboard. It was very noisy as the cleaner seemed to start at 7:30 every morning and so it was impossible to sleep beyond this. The staff at reception were not very warm/welcoming.

Pros: Great location to visit the castle.

Pros: Conveniently located in the Grassmarket district of Edinburgh within a very easy walk of several excellent restaurants and pubs, this hotel has an excellent view of the Old Town and the castle, which is only a few minutes away by foot. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bar staff provided ice for no extra charge.

Pros: Every thing good bed comfy room nice clean staff friendly restaurant good food reasonable prices lovely view close to everything

Pros: The location.

Cons: The shower. Was hard to keep water off the floor. I'd suggest adding a shower curtain. It was just too difficult to not get water on the floor.

Pros: Apex Grassmarket was great. 5 star all the way.

Cons: Taxi mistakenly let us off at Apex International next door where we were greeted as lepers and quickly shown the side door exit to an alley!

Pros: Good location and clean

Pros: I like this hotel a lot, location great, staff great and the rooms are big.

Cons: Silly thing but at checkout I thought I had already paid when I checked in and it turned out I had only pre-paid. It was just a bit more hassle and I was in a hurry

Pros: Staff were great and place itself fine in a great location

Cons: Very poor views on lower floor with no opportunity to change for the better and felt like sleeping in a jumbo jet with noisy vent fans working all night.. actually bought ear plugs to try and help

Pros: Right beside the Royal Mile. Well appointed spacious room with a fantastic view. Extremely friendly and helpful staff.

Pros: Great location and very friendly staff

Cons: Duvet didn’t seem to fit cover so edge was empty

Pros: Excellent location, 1 min walk from Royal Mile

Cons: Room needed repair - aircon not fully functional and taps leaked

Pros: Bed was very comfortable

Cons: The noise from the heating was too loud every time it was on. It kept us awake so had to be turned off.

Pros: Clean and quiet. No carpeting, minimal fabrics so good for people with allergies

Cons: Prepaid breakfast was nice as long as you weren't expecting hot foods which were only available at extra cost. There was another restaurant on the other side of the hotel open at breakfast time also which might have been equally suitable.

Pros: We had a great view out the window onto Edinburgh's main park and high street- although we were only there for one night before a tour, we got a great look out the window all nigh watching Edinburgh go by and turning all their lights on at night. It's also a great location- Edinburgh castle is just up the road (5 min walk?), the Royal Mile is just around the corner, so alot of the main sights are very close, great if you aren't a big walker and want to be close to everything. Room was very nice, huge ceiling, and exciting to have an extra sink, microwave and fridge I think- not that we got the chance to use them.

Cons: Only downside was that the huge window didn't seem to be doubleglazed, and the room was airconditioned rather than having something more effective like a radiator. Seemed to be a great waste of power using the air conditioner for such a huge room, when the window let so much cold in. We had to close the curtains to try and stay warm just after nightfall (and this was only autumn), which was also a shame because were enjoying the great view, so just had to peek behind the curtain every so often. Another downside is the cost, but you get what you pay for, of course a location in central Edinburgh that has great facilities is going to cost a fair bit. We actually stayed the remainder of our Edinburgh time once we returned in a cheaper hotel in Haymarket, more of a walk but a much more reasonable cost. However if you have a tour departing (i.e. Scottish highlands ones that leave early in the morning, especially if you have to take your luggage with you), they usually depart from the royal mile so its a very convenient location just to wake up and be able to walk there in a couple of minutes.

Pros: Staff was awesome

Cons: Room was a bit too hot and not air conditioned. Likely not an issue normally as it is likely going to to be cool whole you're there.

Pros: The location was phenomenal, you can't get much more in the action than it is. They also put in AC in our room!! That was HUGE for us.

Cons: No room service, no car park

Pros: Fraser Suites Edinburgh was in a superb location for Edinburgh and the Royal Mile, especially without a vehicle (having one would be challenging with limited parking). Staff was very pleasant and gave us lots of good info for exploring the area. The room was very nice and dinner in the restaurant was excellent. And having an elevator to our room was an added bonus!

Cons: The bathtub/shower had sloped walls and floor which made it quite slippery/dangerous to shower in. It would benefit from some safety bar/rail to aid in entry and exit, and possible a grippy mat on the tub floor. The continental breakfast was tasty, although the placement of the table made it a little difficult to navigate around the food and other patrons.

Pros: The staff was attentive and very helpful.

Cons: The washer & dryer. One of my loads didn't spin out well and after 3 hours of drying in the dryer, I gave up!!

Pros: -Wonderful staff! -Loved the tub and the towel warmer -Great location in Old Town

Cons: -There were no dressers in our room which made it difficult to stay comfortably for a week -WiFi was out for an entire day, which happens, but sucked while overseas without phone service and relying on WiFi for looking up where to eat
