Motel One Royal is a great option if you wanna be a block away from the royal mile and within a walking distance from a lot of tourist atractions. Right in the verge of Old Town, you have access to both Old & New Town Edinburgh, history & shopping, a lot of restaurants and pubs to choose from. Facilities are beatiful and clean, staff is really friendly and helpful (although at night they’re harder to find at the reception desk). If it’s your fist time to the city, this hotel is perfect spot to be! Highly recommended!
