Motel One Edinburgh-Princes is a modern, design-focused budget hotel located directly on Princes Street, one of Edinburgh’s most famous and central thoroughfares. Its prime location places guests right between the Old Town and New Town, with immediate access to shops, restaurants, and major transport links, including Waverley Station just a short walk away.

The rooms are compact but stylish, designed with a clean, contemporary aesthetic that prioritises comfort and functionality. Expect high-quality beds, sleek bathrooms, soft lighting, and clever use of space to create a calm and efficient environment. While rooms are simple in design, they feel polished and well-finished, consistent with the Motel One brand’s modern approach to affordable city stays.

What makes Motel One Edinburgh-Princes stand out is its unbeatable central location combined with surprisingly stylish communal spaces. The lounge and bar area has a more upscale boutique feel than a typical budget hotel, making it a comfortable place to relax after a day of sightseeing. Its position on Princes Street also means many of Edinburgh’s top attractions, including the Royal Mile, Calton Hill, and the Scott Monument, are all within easy walking distance.
