This hotel is awesome. Super clean, modern, good space and comfortable beds. It was everything we needed and location is awesome too. We loved walking everywhere and never needed transportation. My kids loved the bunk beds as well.

Property was close to New Town. Staff was amazing however we ran into a snafu when our door lock didnt work for almost 2 hours but staff immediately worked on it. Check in process was easy and breakfast buffet was great! I recommend the first class rooms for families for space and amenities. Highly recommended!

Accessible hotel self check in with lifts. Big room we had extra sofa bed in room even though only two of us . Very clean room large tv with easy to use shower . We could never sort out air conditioning so couldn't sleep at night due to being to hot. Lighting was not good any movement in room lights were full on . If u turned off difficult to find toilet. No tea and coffee in room but could get 24 hours downstairs. We prefer in room. Breakfast was very poor sauages bacon hash browns hard little scrambled eggs, we did get baked beans. Good selection pasties fruit. Bread hard coffee not good . First morning we went down wire on the floor i nesrly fell over it. Had to ask for it to be removed health and safety issue. We did have food in bar area in evening which you take to room . Good selection of pannis pizza bar snacks all freshly cooked and reasonable priced. Lovely bar area comfortable seating lovely bar staff. Difficult to get room ckeaned had to ask at reception. Great location but on floor we stayed at 10.30 PM young children running around screaming.

I would not recommend this property. It is not in a convenient location. They skipped cleaning our room and when we notified them they did bring towels. The light system is disorienting - goes off and on all night and although we had the thermostat turned down all the way the room was too warm and uncomfortable at night.

I had a pretty simple and great experience at YOTEL edinburgh. It was walking distance to everything but a little bit of the way so it was quieter which was nice. Check in and check out were quick and simple. The staff member on my check out asked me if I needed help with transportation completely unprompted which was lovely and he actually did help me find a closer spot to catch a bus to the airport. Room was great. I would have liked a little bar fridge however.
