Modern Hotel in Great location but no Twin Rooms”

Hotel was modern and clean and rooms were spacious. The stay was let down by two issues: 1) Before booking I checked that twin rooms were available by phoning the hotel directly, when we arrived we had a double room and were told Motel One do not do twin rooms, at this point t it was too late to change hotels. 2) our room had good view but was situated directly above the hotel bar, this meant music could be heard playing 24/7, this is not good for light sleepers who should request a higher floor. This was a real issue for my companion who had trouble sleeping the entire stay.

The hotel overall was very good, the staff was very helpful and always smiling and cheerful. The location was prime, waverly train station is just opposite, taxi stand is also there in front of the hotel. Castle is nearby, all the major roads like royal mile, princess street are just few minutes from the hotel. Breakfast was good, room was cleaned daily. Overall very nice hotel with a very perfect location.

Fantastic Location , between old and new town and 3 minutes walk to Train Station”

It is a boutique hotel. Loves the design and feel. The location could not be any better. Walking distance to anywhere you would want to visit in Edinburgh. The only slight inconvenience is there is many steps in the corridor leading to your room, i guess it is to mitigate building on a slope. Overall, highly recommended.

웨이벌리 역에서 걸어서 3분, 공항버스(100번)에서 내리면 1분입니다. 늦은밤에 도착이었는데 그점 참 좋았습니다. 어지간한 곳은 걸어 갈 수 있습니다. 새로 리모델링을 해서인지 새집 냄새가 좀..., 창문이 하나 있더군요. 방은 크지 않았지만 깔끔했고 침구도 나쁘지 않았습니다. 없던 것 :실내 슬리퍼나 샤워 가운. 있던 것 : 전기주전자, 커피와 차, 바디워쉬, 페이스워쉬, 각종 수건 직원들도 딱 필요한만큼은 친절했습니다. 저는 좋았어요 ^^
