YOTEL Edinburgh

The room was very basic, modular. No literature about the hotel facilities or where to go in Edinburgh. The shower leaked into the toilet cubicle and into the bathroom area. For privacy the blind had to be down - overlooked a courtyard as did many rooms - the floor to ceiling window was in the bathroom area, so no natural light and the lighting in the bedroom was just bedside lamps. There was separate lighting in the bathroom. There was a sign in the room that said if we didn't get our room serviced during our stay we would get £5.00 credit off food or drink in the hotel during our stay. I booked breakfast for the second morning, when I was paying I mentioned the £5.00 credit and was told it was for use in the bar only. It does not say this on the card we had hung on the door so I believe the discount should have been applied. The hotel was situated in a nice area away from the hustle and bustle of Princes Street but only a few minutes walk from there and the train station. I wouldn't choose to stay at this hotel again. There is nowhere to sit and relax in the bedroom after a busy day sightseeing. On arrival I was greeted by Rita/Vita, she was wonderful but I didn't see her again.

We had to call 3 different times about the air con not working in our room. The first call we were told it would be fixed within 15 minutes. This was never resolved. Had to call back after an hour. The air worked for maybe 30 minutes then off again. The 3rd call came at 04:30. Yet again the air only worked for a few moments. Very disappointing especially as expensive as the room was for one night. I would not recommend using this hotel.

The family rooms are perfect for cheap, short stays. There is not much privacy. But they are clean and comfortable.

Great location and very nice hotel. They do host many events and the staff/resources can be focused more on the guests of the event than the guests at the bar/restaurant. Overall it’s a great place to stay just don’t go if crowds bother you or you are planning to eat or drink in the bar on a regular basis.

My room was clean and tidy, not the largest of hotel rooms but perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. Breakfast was not great. Food was mostly cold with only one choice of egg which was scrambled eggs , bacon cold, sausage overcooked and not very warm. A microwave cooker may have solved the problem. The bar was good as were the staff. Card payment only, I prefer paying for a drink with cash

The staff was super friendly and the Hôtel location super nice.

Great location- friendly staff

The location in Edinburgh and the price make this an excellent place to stay. Convenient to bus and train station by foot, airport close. Many restaurants and charming pubs in walking distance. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Having air-con was a bonus for the unseasonably warm temps. Would stay again and recommend to anyone I knew going to Edinburgh.

Room was pristine. Perfect for one person but maybe a little tight for two. No coffee in the room but available in the bar area. Breakfast was available. The staff were helpful and polite. Able to give advice and directions.

Room was good. There was a fair bit of morning corridor noise, so maybe not ideal for late sleepers. Staff very helpful in extending my stay for one night without moving rooms.

This was an amazing hotel! Proximity to such interesting history and tourist sites, walking distance to a beautiful park and great shops and restaurants, and super helpful staff. Great breakfast, and I appreciated a place to have coffee or tea when I worked for a few hours early in the AM. Parking was also pretty easy. We’ll be back.

The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds were able to raise the head, allowing it to be converted into a couch. It was a nice feature! I liked that the hotel was outside of the busy center of town but was easily walkable to most of the touristy destinations. My only complaint would be they had a small fridge-like appliance that had stickers advising it is not for keeping food or medicine cold. In fact, it was not cold at all! In that case, I feel it would be better to have the rooms without these appliances! It just takes up un necessary space.

Lovely quiet hotel within walking distance of all the shops and culture of Edinburgh. Room big and spacious. Sam, the HR manager was excellent, I needed help with something and she was great. Unfortunately breakfast let the hotel down, fruit bowls not filled up, the hot food wasn’t hot, just luke warm, the bacon overcooked and only scrambled eggs on offer. Pity as otherwise the hotel was great.

Did not manage breakfast but enjoyed stay .staff very helpful

We had a great Room and it was spotless. We can’t find fault in anything. Had a great stay. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would defo recommend this hotel to anyone

Trevlig personal bra frukost och bra läge!

Our room was not ready despite arriving an hour later and wasted additional 15 min for the staff to recheck. Room is comfortable. But bathrooms are simply horrible! Lack of transparency and no place to hang clothes inside bathroom. Wash basin outside bathroom again a bummer. No light switch near bathroom area…not our taste

Smooth easy check in, clean room, only issue was the bed creaked so loudly when turning over, it sounded like someone hammering on the door!

I was pleased with Yotel, the location is an easy walk from Princes street. Hotel is very clean in the common areas. The Room was great! Very good use of space and loved the adjustable bed, it was very comfortable. Most of all I found this hotel to be quiet! I was in a basement level room looking out to Queen Street and I could not hear traffic noise. You can rent umbrellas from a stand in the lobby if you forgot yours - great idea ! The breakfast was good, English breakfast options along with Yougurts etc..Hot food was hot! Easy walk from the hotel to reach the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh. Check out Panda and Sons, 1 minute walk from the hotel - you'll see. Would I stay here again, Yes.

Shower leaked into toilet space. Bed was strange - still can’t work out if I liked it or not? Great for watching tv. Air con worked which was a big plus! Bar food wasn’t great, frozen pizzas reheated but for £15 you expect slightly better. Fruit flies need treating for customers and staff working in the space, I only noticed after eating otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered
