Modern accommodations but a little too automated for my taste. Check in person didn't acknowledge our VIP status. Room temperature control wasn't effective so woke up in a sweat. No place to hang a towel when you're in the shower. Breakfast was a little disappointing with powdered scrambled eggs. Breakfast staff a little surly. On the plus side the room was large and comfortable. And the location was excellent for dining and shopping options.

Ireland Scotland trip

Expensive compared to all our other rooms on our Scotland Ireland trip. Pillows not comfortable, no chair in room, no coffee, no water. Lights either all on or all off. Coffee in lobby was not working most of the time. Chaos in the lobby at check in. Check in machine did not work. Would never stay here again.

We were at the Yotel in Edinburgh for 2 days of our 10day trip. Reception was nice and we were allowed to check in early which was a big plus. Room was clean but there wasn’t enough room for our 2 carry on suitcases . Would have been nice to have a luggage rack. Shower was nice and hot but the door leaked and we had to use extra towels to mop up after every shower. Bed was comfortable. Location was great in a quiet area but close walking to nice restaurants and places of interest.Having the convenience items was nice in the lobby but items were clearly overpriced. Overall we liked it and would stay there again if we came back to Edinburgh

I got stuck on the basement floor. It felt like staying in an abandoned retirement hospital. For the price it was definitely not worth it.

For a small fee was able to check in early which was super helpful. Staff were really friendly and responsive to messages prior to checking in. Pretty quiet with exception of slamming hotel doors but that's on the inconsiderate guests. Room was great and had everything I needed to sleep and shower.

Good Experience

I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the Yotel Edinburgh. I was expecting a tight hotel room and minimum services. What I got was a good sized room with modern features and an extremely helpful staff. A good buffet breakfast was available for a reasonable charge and they had a nice bar for evening drinks and bar food. I recommend the Yotel Edinburgh.

One night in Edinburgh

The staff was so understanding and friendly. Our room was very cool looking, compact but homey. Love the free coffee in the morning. We had a very strong smell in our room from the cleaning products and the concierge brought a fan in and worked with us to air out the room. Very appreciative of Yotel!

Excellent hotel with a comfortable room. Location very convenient, just a few blocks from everything. Just one feedback for improvement, the room had a very annoying energy saving timer that would turn off the lights every few minutes or so, but other than that we had a great experience.
