The ambience of the hotel was good. However, there was no kettle, no plug to charge your phone on one side of the bed and no towel hook in the bathroom either. Not very practical. The reception wasn’t particularly friendly either.

Disappointed , will not return
We usually stay at this hotel as the service and cleanliness is incredible , however on this occasion it was the opposite , myself and my partner have had a very challenging year and she also recently had surgery which I stated to the reception staff and asked for a more accessible room , only to then be moved a further two floors higher to the same size of room , when we were in the room I called reception to day their was some sort of banging coming from either above the room or the air conditioning units . Again nothing was done , we ended up having a terrible nights sleep and waking up very unrelaxed which was very disappointing as this was supposed to be a special night away to end a terrible year. When checking out We asked the hotel reception staff if we could leave our case for an hour in the storage room to which he rolled his eyes before telling us “I’ve got stuff to do on my computer” all in all it was a horrendous stay and a disappointment from Yotel especially in such a busy city where the customer service should be a level of excellence .

Edinburgh in December
Well as far as cities go you can’t get better for Christmas festivities than Edinburgh! The YOTEL has a great location in Queen Street. The first time we have stayed in a YOTEL so initially the modern mimalistic decor was a surprise, but the room was very comfortable and the front desk staff very helpful. Slightly let down by the lack of detail from the cleaners, our bathroom never did get a thorough clean around the skirtings so I did it myself (I can’t stand sitting on the loo and seeing previous occupants grime). Plus, at £16 a head for breakfast we found the choice and food quality disappointing.

Good hotel in a convenient situation.
Simple check in with a person although the option to check in oneself is preferred I think. All the staff we encountered were friendly.
The room was good if a little different to the norm,having separte pods for the loo and the shower and was at the back of the hotel so was nice and quiet.
Our only criticism would be at breakfast,the hot food was in cold dishes and there were no warm plates hence the food was either cold or cooled very quickly, hot/warm dishes would remedy this.That being said the choice of other food at breakfast was more than adequate.
The hotel is well placed for all the attractions of Edinburgh and about 15 minutes walk from the train station.

Great location, clean hotel, small room
Good breakfast, clean, but small room (the toilet and shower are in the main room, and not a separate room).
Free tea/coffee in the bar, which was really helpful.
Great location, walking distance to all of new and old town.

Lovely Hotel staff very friendly very modern. Amazing power shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. No bar food available restaurant only do breakfast. Bar area nice and relaxing. No coffee making in the room you need to go to coffee and tea making machine in bar area. Water and small glasses in reception if you want a drink and vending machine.

The hotel is very clean, central. Entry and exit are very practical, service is good. There is a bar in the hotel, it is nice. The rooms are suitable for the disabled, the sick and the elderly. I just could not get used to the air conditioning and electricity system. After a while it turns itself off and the sensor is far away. Also, the room was cold for me

Breakfast was a shamble
Breakfast was a shamble. £15 a head, no hot items, waited 30 mins plus and the buffet didn’t get re stocked.
