By Waverley, with the Old Town above
The Motel One Edinburgh-Royal is on Market Street, the street running behind Waverley station. Get off the train, cross over and you're at the door; from here, the Royal Mile is a couple of streets uphill and Princes Street is on the other side of the station. It's the option for anyone arriving by train or on the airport tram who wants to do everything on foot, without paying what the hotels on the main streets cost.
Small rooms, cleverly done
The chain is known for its compact, well-kept rooms, and this one is no exception. The standard, The One, is 16 m² with a 160 or 180 cm bed; the Cosy One, at 14 m², has a 120 cm bed and suits one person. For families with one child there's the Family One, 20 m², with a double bed and a sofa bed. There's an accessible room. All have a rain shower and free wifi. The décor plays on Scotland: tartan headboards, photographs of Highland flora and fauna and living ferns on the reception wall.
Bar, breakfast and what it doesn't have
Downstairs is the One Lounge, with a whisky bar under a chandelier made from fifty decanters, and in the morning the buffet breakfast, with organic products and fair-trade coffee. The hotel has no parking: the nearest it suggests is at Greenside Row, a quarter of an hour's walk away, so it's not a place to arrive by car. Pets are allowed, but they ask you to check first.

Tips
- Ask for the family room when booking It's the only one with a sofa bed; choose that room type from the start.
- Leave the car outside the centre With no parking of its own and a step from the station, it pays to arrive by train or tram.
- Use the luggage storage If you arrive before 15:00 or leave late, they'll keep your bags.
