Motel One Edinburgh-Royal

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very nicely decorated and our room was spacious, clean, quiet and air conditioned. The hotel is located across the street from Waverly Train Station, in the Old Town, so it's super convenient if you are traveling by train. The morning buffet breakfast was delicious, with hard and soft boiled eggs, pastries, bread, cheese, meats, yogurt, cereal, juice and coffee. We would definitely stay there again!"

Mount Royal Hotel Edinburgh by The Unlimited Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is within easy walking distance from the train station, right on the main avenue, in the direction of the museum and across the street from the park. The plus factors for us also included a room with a view, air conditioning [it was unusually hot during the daytime] and windows that open if you prefer the night air, a large desk and a small sofa, The bed was comfortable and the shower was excellent. It was important to us that it has an excellent restaurant for dinner, and the included breakfast was packed with variety. There are 2 large, modern elevators, a bar as well as the restaurant, and friendly staff."
