Motel One Edinburgh-Princes - A budget-friendly design hotel with city views and free WiFi in Edinburgh's New Town

A vibrant design aesthetic defines Motel One Edinburgh-Princes, featuring antique candelabras, velvet sofas, and a mural of historic Scottish figures in its One Lounge lobby bar. Located on Princes Street, this 3.5-star hotel offers rooms with free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and modern bathrooms with granite/glass monsoon rain showers. A continental breakfast with cold cuts, cheese, and bread is available each morning at Motel One Edinburgh-Princes. The National Gallery of Scotland and the Royal Mile landmarks are within 500 metres, while Edinburgh Waverley Station is a 5-minute walk away. The hotel's second-floor bar provides views of Princes Street and the Old Town, alongside drinks and snacks like cheese toasties. Business travellers benefit from proximity to Edinburgh International Conference Centre and the airport.

Pros

The hotel's central location provides easy access to major landmarks like the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle.

Rooms feature modern amenities including free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and monsoon rain showers.

The One Lounge offers a relaxed space with views of Princes Street and a continental breakfast option.

Edinburgh Waverley Station is just a 5-minute walk away, facilitating citywide travel.

Cons

Limited onsite dining options beyond the bar's snacks and breakfast selection.

The busy Princes Street location may result in occasional street noise.

“For a city center stay, this property impresses with its prime location near the train station and the comfortable, well-maintained rooms, plus, the staff's attentiveness stood out. The in-house bar, with its city views, is a real find and a welcome bonus. It's a particularly solid choice, in my opinion.”
