No water or coffee amenities, no bathroom light when you're trying to navigate in the night time without waking everyone up and the air con cut our half way through the night. Stayed at more budget hotels with better quality and services, very expensive for what it is.

First stay in a Yotel and will probably be my last, they wanted £20 for an early check in, regardless if your room was ready or not. Then tea and coffee was only available from the bar area and we were on the 6th floor, no water or tea and coffee amenities in the room. The bed was reclining and noisy. Although comfortable to sleep on, carpets on the corridor areas looked like they needed a clean, Room and towels were clean would say this is a 3 star at a push

The Yotel was clean and the staff was extremely helpful. The room itself was smaller than I expected but that’s on me. The only problem I had was that Edinburgh was having a bit of a heatwave which was too much for their air conditioning. It was simply too hot to get a good nights rest.

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.

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 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.

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.

Hotel muito bom, limpo, quarto grande, cama confortável e reclinável, banheiro com bom tamanho. Oferece café e água gratuito e fica a uns 10 minutos da principal avenida que dá acesso a todos os ônibus e pontos turísticos da cidade. Como não estávamos de carro isso fez toda a diferença. Achei o preço bom em comparação com os demais hotéis que pesquisei. Embora em Edimburgo a hospedagem é bem cara mesmo. Hotel permitiu deixar as malas pra podermos andar pela cidade, pois chegamos antes do horário de checkin. Único ponto que achei ruim nesse hotel é que não tem frigobar, apenas um cooler mas que não foi útil pra nada, pois precisa colocar gelo pra ele manter gelado e acaba molhando tudo. Recomendo com certeza essa hospedagem.

Our room was very small and we didn’t even get a luggage rack for a suitcase. There was no where to store clothes so we lived out of our suitcases on the floor. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 12pm after a 7 hour flight overseas and the room was ready, however we had to pay 20 pounds to gain access to the room, despite the fact it was ready- that was disappointing to say the least. We were in a pretty good location for access to downtown, and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was mediocre.

There was some confusion when we arrived as other guests had checked in with the same surname so looked like our room wasn’t available but we were directed to the bar to enjoy a free drink while the situation was resolved which didn’t take long and we were issued with an apology. As we arrived early evening we left our bags in the room and stayed at the hotel for a delicious pizza.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming although the bar staff did get a little overwhelmed one evening with a busy bar of guests requesting cocktails! We gave up on the nightcap and went to our room.

I would definitely stay at the Yotel again but noted just a few pros and cons during our stay;

Pros;
- Large clean room with decent sized TV
- Big comfy bed with lovely white linen
- Fridge (although not very cold)
- Fabulous shower, great showerhead
- Toiletries supplied, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion
- Iron, hairdryer, safe
- Plenty of lifts
- Air conditioning/heating thermostat

Cons;
- Needs a sanitary bin in the toilet, a shelf would be handy too
- Towels are hung in toilet so not great if you’re in the shower and someone else in the toilet
- No tea making facilities. It is supplied free in the bar but not great if you want a cuppa first thing or if you need hot water for baby bottle

Our room was a bit odd. Immediately after opening the door there was a long corridor (5+ metres) before you got to the room proper. The only light switches (including for the bathroom) were just inside the door, meaning you had to track back and forth down this corridor every time you wanted to switch the light on or off in the bathroom. Worse still, the lights are on a timer linked to a motion sensor, but the motion sensor is just inside the door so every time it times out the room lights go off and you have to run down the corridor just to reactivate the motion sensor.

Other than that strange design, the rooms were OK but fairly spartan. Lots of space, but no additional furniture beyond the bed and a single chair. For what we paid, it felt very poor value.

While the hotel is well located and within easy reach of the centre of Edinburgh, at over £200 B&B per night the expectations are understandably fairly high.

To be fair, the room itself was spacious, comfortable and very good. Unfortunately the breakfast felt less “boutique Edinburgh experience” and more “service station Travelodge somewhere off the M4 at 6:30am.”

Rooms are OK even if water is always slipping from the shower. Breakfast is not the best aspect of this hotel.
Last time I found dirty towels and sheets.
They also offer a voucher for who doesn’t request the room cleaning, which is a nice initiative.
On the other hand they have many limitations of its usage making less useful. So after you fall in the trick you don’t do it or at least only for the environment.

Really lovely hotel. Very clean. Huge room, we stay 4 of us 2 adults and 2 children and the room was MORE than big enough, really fresh, airy and comfortable. The bed adjusted, which both adults and children thought was VERY cool. Our only loss of a star was that the ensuite wasn't separate from the room itself, although looked very cool and we didn't realise when booking. The rooms also don't have kettles however there is a station downstairs with hot water and hit drinks facilties for free. Really lovely hotel and very hip I'd imagine.

The room was clean, with comfortable twin beds. The toilet, shower and basin were all separate which was useful. Although this was a 'premium' room, there was virtually no storage except for a small hanging space. No fridge and the 'cool cupboard', which has no adjustable temperature control, says 'not suitable for food' so I am not sure what it is for! There is no kettle but free tea and coffee is available in the bar, which no-one tells you about so I didn't find it for 24 hours.
The staff were all very friendly except for one: If you opt not to have your room cleaned, you have £5 credit in the bar. However I was very angry because when I asked about this after a day, I was assured that I could save it until the following day but, when I went the next day, the barman refused to honour this promise so I lost that credit.
The breakfast is good with everything you would expect except that there was only fruit yoghurt on our 3 mornings, no natural, unsweetened.
