Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Motel One Edinburgh-Princes enjoys a very central location, just a short walk from the train station and close to Princes Street, making it ideal for exploring Edinburgh. Guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms, with some noting they are a good size, and some offering pleasant views, such as the Balmoral Hotel. The breakfast provides essential options, with the croissants and pain au chocolat standing out; however, a few guests mentioned the rooms can be quite basic for the price.

adequate stay, some issues noted

small bathroom missing refrigerator
The bathroom felt small, and it had a huge workspace adjacent to it. this arrangement was strange. I thought the bathroom needed more space. there was no safe in the room. i also missed having a refrigerator for personal use, it's an important feature.
