Good hotel, crappy reception staff. Unhelpful, like they don’t want to be doing this job. Why be in hospitality if you’re not hospitable.

The room is tidy and modern looking. But it is not a great setup for a family. The washing basin is in the room entrance. The shower/toilet light is the same for the room lobby/entrance. Hence if anyone switches on the light the whole room wakes up. Also there is no separate area for the bathroom so you either get dress in the shower or in front of everyone in the room. Whoever designed the room has never travelled with kids.

Really comfortable. Aircon was perfect and so welcome on a hot day. Just had a smelly drain in the basin. Nobody to tell in the morning. Breakfast was good and busy which meant the dining room was too damned loud. It’s a people thing but maybe design could help address it.

We loved our stay at YOTEL Edinburgh. The best bit was being able to check in early for an additional 20 pounds charge when we arrived at the hotel at 9:00 am after a red eye flight from the USA. What a deal. YOTEL also offers free luggage storage the day of checkin and the day of checkout. They have free coffee and offer a bar credit for drinks or food if you forego maid/cleaning service for a day. Very green and friendly. Our room was very clean and the blackout shades were top notch, completely blocking out the early summer sunrise. We will look for Yotels in other future cities we plan to visit. Free maps in the lobby too. Excellent choice!

Wont call this 4 stars. Quite basic room. Feel quite claustrophobic.. No desk in the room nor tea or coffee making facilities. Have to queue up long time for breakfast. Apparently they do not have any botttles of water in the bar either!

From start to finish the stay was excellent. It is a really central location and offers an affordable option. I was staying for 2 nights due to a conference at the ICCE. I had a number of boxes posted to the hotel ahead of time, which they kept securely until I arrived. All the staff were very friendly and super helpful! I would return again and definitely recommend.

Room is very bare bones but just what was needed for a stay where we didn’t spend much time in the room. However I have never stayed at a hotel with such awful WiFi, it constantly disconnected and would require you to log in over and over again which made it difficult to plan our trip and make reservations. Our air conditioning would seemingly randomly reset to a different temperature in the middle of the night and we often woke up hot. Also although the advertised sound proofed rooms being in a room near the lift we could hear everyone someone came out of the lift. The location is nice and located a short walk from the royal mile and most of the new town of Edinburgh.

I did not like that the breakfast was not included as that is why I chose the place as Expedia had breakfast on the listing. I did not enjoy that the parking is an 8minute drive away and a 14 minute walk back to hotel
