Reviews of Yotel Edinburgh
Edi
My stay at YOHOTEL was smooth. From self checkin to check out. The room was innovative, you can adjust the bed (head part) high or low depending on your comfort, head shower and toilet were separated. The TV has background lights. Price was also okay, location is in the center. Highly recommended! Would stay here again when I go back to Edinburgh.

Amazing hotel in every way! They let us leave our luggage before and after our arrival. The room was comfy and clean, has a smart TV and you have 24hour coffe and tea in the bar. It also has a gym which is very well equipped. The location couldn't be better. Nice and chill area near everything. I will repeat with no doubt. Thanks for everything
