YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent
"The property is located close to historical sites plus venues for eating. The rooms are "modern" and clean. The staff was always helpful with answering my questions. The only issue I had is that the rooms do not have a chair to sit upon. If you want to sit and work on a computer you either sit on a stuffed stool (causes back pain) or sit on the bed that converts electronically into a large "sofa" of sorts. A chair would have been fine. Other than that the room was very comfortable."

"Everything about the hotel was lovely. The staff were helpful and efficient. The room was very clean and nice, but our view was of another building a few feet away instead of the pretty gardens. Breakfast and dinner were very good. We would recommend staying here. An airport shuttle would have been much appreciated."

"It was a pleasant surprise to be offered champagne upon check-in, excellent in room coffee availability with coffee grinder. There were snacks available in the room as well. It was nice to find a miniature gift candle at our door when we came home from the day out because we had requested Green service that day… (No need to come and clean our room). The location worked out well. The sliding wooden “door”to cover the windows gave a complete black out!"
