The motel is in a fantastic location right in the centre of Edinburgh, opposite the main railway station. The rooms, though quite basic, were comfortable and clean with a warm ambiance, but the lack of proper windows affected the daylight and ventilation. The service was impeccable with helpful and attentive staff, making the stay enjoyable. The dining experience was good with a self-service breakfast and a nice variety of food choices. The fantastic location made it easy to explore the city on foot.

The hotel had clean and cozy rooms with a view over Princes St, which was wonderful, but the lack of proper air conditioning made it very uncomfortable to sleep. The service was excellent, with all staff members being very friendly and helpful. The location was superb, right across from the Railway Station, making exploring the city a breeze. The dining options were limited and overpriced, leading us to eat elsewhere. The facilities were basic but sufficient for our needs.

The motel has a fantastic location right in front of the train station, making it great for exploring Edinburgh. The rooms were clean, modern, and provided a good night's sleep, although they were a bit noisy from service pipes and quite cold. The friendly and helpful staff at the motel made the stay comfortable and welcoming. The dining experience, while a bit pricey, had good quality options, especially the home-baked Alentejo bread. Overall, a convenient spot for a visit to the city.

The dining experience was a bit disappointing as the breakfast options were limited to just continental, which wasn't clearly explained when we inquired. This made it a bit pricey for what was offered. However, the nearby Deacons House Cafe was a great alternative for a good meal.

The hotel is conveniently located right in the center of Edinburgh, making it ideal for exploring the city. The rooms are modern and comfortable, but lack storage space like bedside cabinets or drawers. The service was attentive and quick to help, although some staff members were dismissive and showed a poor customer attitude at times. The dining options were great with fresh continental breakfast, but a bit pricey. The location scores high for its proximity to public transportation hubs and key attractions like the train station and airport tram stop.

The hotel is incredibly convenient, located right at the doorstep of Waverley station on Princes Street. The rooms, although small, were clean and cozy, but we did encounter a faulty ceiling that wasn't immediately noticeable. The service was helpful in providing information for the Fringe festival, but there was a noticeable price hike during high demand periods. The location couldn't be better for those wanting to explore the central area, although the noise level from nearby activities was a bit high. The dining options, especially for vegetarians and vegans, were decent but had room for improvement. Overall, the hotel offers a great location and clean rooms but may fall short in some areas like pricing strategies and room maintenance.

The rooms, while slightly basic, offer a lovely and clean space with a comfortable bed. The friendly staff are incredibly helpful, making the stay even more pleasant.

The hotel offers excellent cleanliness and is very comfortable. The rooms are on the small side for the price, felt bland with no decorations, but they were excellent in terms of cleanliness. However, they were quite small and lacked a relaxing area. The service provided was universally great, with well-trained, friendly, and efficient staff. The location is outstanding, being in the city centre's east end, just minutes' walk from the train station and airport bus. The dining experience was a bit pricey for a continental breakfast, but it was good value and tasty. Overall, a clean and comfortable hotel with friendly staff in a great location, though the dining could be better in terms of value for money.
