Yotel EDI is located just on the outskirts of the new city part. Its about 20-25 min walk into the old part (Royal Mile etc), but is incredibly close to the shops (Princes St). There is a Tesco Express, Greggs & Costa all within 3-5 min walk from the hotel for inexpensive breakfast or snack options. However, the hotel breakfast is good value and freshly restocked. Staff have all be really friendly and pleasant and helpful. The walk into the main parts of the city is very easy - so I would definitely stay here again.

Room 010. Basement room. Constant noise when main automatic door opened. Toilet very small, heared rail in toilet did not work. No where in shower to hang towel. The plug in basin did not work, unable to shave. Lighting in main area poor (no natural light).If you go to toilet in night had to switch on main light. Shower door did not shut. Coffee machine in bar only gave you a couple of options and mugs which were in the clean pile were dirty including one with lipstick on. Excess heat coming from cupboard with fridge in. On the positive, the reception staff, very good, and the bed was comfortable and the room clean

Our stay at YOTEL Edinburgh was very enjoyable. We were two couples, one couple slept on the main bed and the other on the sofa lounge. We felt there was enough room for the time we were in our room. We liked the location, nice and convenient to everything. We caught the Airlink from the airport and it was about a ten minute walk from the closest bus stop, which wasn’t too bad. The area felt safe and was very nice to walk around, easy to get to all the main attractions. There are plenty of dining and shopping options in the area. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, the accommodation was nice and clean. The only drawback we felt was the bathroom door, or the lack-of, as there wasn’t one. With two couples it becomes a little difficult. You can work around it easy enough. Overall it was a great stay and we would highly recommend this place.

The shower is not well insulated which lead to a ton of water coming out of the shower on the floor. We had to use several towels to dry up the water that would spill out from the cracks. Also there was a horrible stench of B.O. in the lobby, and it was not an isolated incident.

Super loud in room due to poor lack of insulation despite being four floors up and away from elevator. Ceiling had major crack running down the center of the room. Shower door failed to close properly. Poorly maintained overall.

Excellent location and for the price we paid it was good value. There is no free tea and coffee in the room which is genuinely the first time I’ve experienced this in a hotel. The shower wasnt the most powerful and in a strange cubicle where you couldn't hang a towel up. Maybe I was being daft but there was no way of turning on the toilet light next to it so in the middle of the night we had to illuminate the room so my kid could see where to go. Lovely friendly staff, the beds were clean & comfortable and the luggage storage before officially checking in was great.

Room was clean, bizarre that there’s a plethora of coffee capsules and machine in the room, no milk, no teabags (other than 3 herbal teabags), mirrors are miles away from plug points (not easy for drying hair), toilet/shower situation (of being expected to perch on the toilet in full view (a frosted glass open box in the room) is utterly inexplicable. Who wants to share a toilet experience with others in the room?! Coffe machine in breakfast area needed x6 coffees for barely a quarter cup of coffee. Clean, staff were pleasant but absolutely not worth the money to not even be able to have a pee in private.
