A very wet cold miserable evening greeted us in Waverley. Luckily the Motel One is 50yds from the station exit so we did not get too wet. This is a German chain which only has two hotels in the UK. They have taken an old building , retained the old fascade but put a modern "motel" like facility inside. Checking in was a bit fraught, busy etc, with the guest in front (overseas) trying to book a taxi to "Boness". The receptionist (overseas) made a good stab at telling the taxi firm where it was to go but was not quite there....A taxi to "Bones" is required.....it took some assistance to get them to the right place :-))

Hotel itself not particularly memorable. Clean warm and surprisingly quiet room. The one notable item being the fire on the TV....the room did feel warmer when it was on.

Decent chatty barman in the evening.

No tablet soap just a shower gel...poor. Shower cubicle very slippy when wet....not good Otherwise fine room. Breakfast was continental and simply adequate.

Motel One manages 7/10 based mainly on it being very handy for the station.
