Clean and modern room. Comfortable bed. Would have been 5 stars except for the lighting system. The room lights and climate system are connected to a motion sensor located near the entry door. You get about 3 minutes of light and then you’ll find yourself waving your arms like a lunatic to restore power. Going to shower? You’ll finish in the dark. Want to shave or apply makeup? You have to walk across the room to trip the motion sensor repeatedly. Want to have a seat in the WC? You’ll finish in the dark. Never again.

YOTEL was a very convenient homebase to explore Edinburgh - right on the edge of New Town, so a short walk from all the sights, but not so central as to be noisy or stressful to get to with suitcases. The rooms are a bit small with not a lot of space for unpacking, but their idea of having a bed that folds during the day helps.

The room was cool! The backlighting was a modern and fun touch, and the overall hotel was very unique- the mini store located inside was incredibly convenient. The hotel was clean and had everything we needed, as well as some cool additions such as bottle openers in the rooms. The room was definitely spacious when the bed was in a more upright position. This said, the pillows were a bit flat- even with two, it was still very flat, and the mattress wasnt the most comfortable I've ever slept on. It was doable for a few nights and overall I'd stay here again; everything was very walkable, the hotel was clean, the area felt safe, and checking in and out was seamless.

Traveled as couple. Air conditioning is sub par & turns OFF by itself - annoying. It’s a good hotel if you don’t plan on spending much time in the room. As for our next Edinburgh trip we will likely look elsewhere but it did the job this time around.
