I am looking for a recommendation for a hotel in Edinburgh. Does anyone have an opinion - Motel One Edinburgh Royal vs Ten Hill Place Hotel? We will be staying three nights in August, 2025. We will be arriving by train from Pitlochry.
Thanks

I stayed at Motel One Edinburgh Princes and liked it a lot.

I am also looking for accommodations in Edinburgh and will not have a car. Is Motel One Edinburgh in walking distance of town, bus stops, etc.?

Both Edinburgh Motel Ones are next to the Waverley rail station, which forms the essential dividing line between New Town and Old Town. Very convenient to both, though getting to Old Town requires a climb. I can scarcely imagine a more convenient headquarters from which to explore the entirety of Edinburgh, though full disclosure: I've never stayed in either one.

We didn't stay at either of the places you mention, but I will recommend Ibis St. Andrews Square, where we stayed. It's in a super convenient location; we walked everywhere. Many, many excellent restaurants within walking distance. They serve a filling breakfast buffet, and the staff are nice and helpful.
