The hotel was clean, new and very well located. Check in was a little impersonal for a 4 star hotel and staff were not particularly warm or welcoming. I didn't appreciate the suggestion of paying extra for an early check in 3 hours beforehand in a hotel of this price and quality. There was a bit of noise from downstairs until very late at night. The room was nice enough, but a bit odd. There was no door to the bathroom, just a curtain but the shower and loo were in separate frosted glass cubicles. It was therefore not that conducive to sharing as there wasn't much privacy. I would stay again for the location and price as it's an expensive city, but I wouldn't stay again if sharing with someone with whom I'm not in an intimate relationship!

Whilst listed as a 4 star stay, Yotel Edinburgh seems more like a 3 star stay - comfortable-ish but not luxurious. 1. The rooms are small. Unless you get a First Class King, the rooms are akin to the size of Ibis hotels - not something I expect at this price range. 2. The toilet cublicle is separate from the shower cubicle, with the towel rack being in the toilet cubicle. If you're staying with friends, expect to take turns to use the room when showering, or expose yourselves to each other whilst grabbing your towel which will hang outside the shower. I think a separation between the bathroom area and the rest would be more appropriate. 3. The handheld shower I had was broken. Not something I'd expect from a 4 star hotel. Yotel - you need to check these every time a guest checks out. Luckily, they have good rain showers. 4. Yotel uses Urban Jungle toiletries - I'm not a fan, but this is a matter of preference. 5. Don't expect a desk unless you get an expensive room. I feel these should be standard in double rooms, in this day and age, with tons of people working remotely. 6. The Wi-Fi is terrible. 20Mbps is not acceptible in 2025. Casting anything from your mobile device is a nightmare. Nevaya (their software) is laggy and was a poor experience - I tried different rooms with varying levels of software smoothness. 7. Food options are not great. On some days, they didn't even have desserts. 8. Yotel has some green initiatives - ask about Purple Goes Green.

Great base for exploring Edinburgh

Clean and comfortable rooms. Big fan of the shower! Revolve bar was a great place to grab a coffee to start the day and a beer for the end. Walking distance from great restaurants and bars, sightseeing areas, and train station.

The hotel is located in a central yet quiet area of the city. The room was clean, but a bit small and cold (the a/c was not working correctly). Breakfast was OK, but the room where it's served gets busy very quickly
