Central and super modern accomodation.
Central for me to attend a show at the Lyceum Theatre. About 15 mins walk, from Yotel. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Checkout was at 11am. They offer a service to store your suitcase, after checkout. So I had extra time to visit, Rose Street and Princess Street.

Good visit. Close to everything. Didn’t like the lack of privacy for the bathroom
And shower; fine as our kids were small but would be difficult if they were teenagers.

Great clean modern hotel, pity about the mattress
First stay in this edinburgh hotel. Was a nice modern place to stay, high cleaning standards, lovely fresh crisp white bed sheets and free tea/coffee in bar area which was great after after a cold night out. Although mentioned on the website the only negative thing is the memory foam mattress, uncomfortable and too hot, not for me which is a shame as i really liked the hotel but i would prefer a good night's sleep.
