Well as far as cities go you can’t get better for Christmas festivities than Edinburgh! The YOTEL has a great location in Queen Street. The first time we have stayed in a YOTEL so initially the modern mimalistic decor was a surprise, but the room was very comfortable and the front desk staff very helpful. Slightly let down by the lack of detail from the cleaners, our bathroom never did get a thorough clean around the skirtings so I did it myself (I can’t stand sitting on the loo and seeing previous occupants grime). Plus, at £16 a head for breakfast we found the choice and food quality disappointing.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Room 524 was quiet, shower was good. No tea or coffee facilities, breakfast was definitely not worth the money, the bed creeks when you move in it.
Simple check in with a person although the option to check in oneself is preferred I think. All the staff we encountered were friendly.
The room was good if a little different to the norm,having separte pods for the loo and the shower and was at the back of the hotel so was nice and quiet.
Our only criticism would be at breakfast,the hot food was in cold dishes and there were no warm plates hence the food was either cold or cooled very quickly, hot/warm dishes would remedy this.That being said the choice of other food at breakfast was more than adequate.
The hotel is well placed for all the attractions of Edinburgh and about 15 minutes walk from the train station.
Good breakfast, clean, but small room (the toilet and shower are in the main room, and not a separate room).
Free tea/coffee in the bar, which was really helpful.
Great location, walking distance to all of new and old town.
Lovely Hotel staff very friendly very modern. Amazing power shower. Staff very friendly and helpful. No bar food available restaurant only do breakfast. Bar area nice and relaxing. No coffee making in the room you need to go to coffee and tea making machine in bar area. Water and small glasses in reception if you want a drink and vending machine.
The hotel is very clean, central. Entry and exit are very practical, service is good. There is a bar in the hotel, it is nice. The rooms are suitable for the disabled, the sick and the elderly. I just could not get used to the air conditioning and electricity system. After a while it turns itself off and the sensor is far away. Also, the room was cold for me
