Christmas Vacation
Yotel is at a good walking location to restaurants, shopping, train station, Johnie Walker and Christmas Market if you are visiting that time of year.
Rooms are very small didn't have much space to open my suitcase, basically a bed, TV on the wall and shower. Room did have a mini fridge.
Front desk employees were very welcoming & helpful. Hotel did provide 24hrs free coffee & tea in the bar area.

Everything is great. Check in and check out easily and they have the option to store luggage a couple ours after check out so you can go explore the last hours of the trip without them. The rooms are modern and super clean. The mattress and pillows are a bit too hard for us but overall is nice. I loved the room design with the bathroom and the designer place attention to every detail. It was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommended. Location 10/10 and service 10/10

Overall it was a good stay with a modern, clean, room, decent bar and very central in Edinburgh. That cost was a bit much even if NYE celebrations.

Lacking amenities
Being upmarket and innovative is a just a poor excuse for cost cutting and lacking amenities.

The ambience of the hotel was good. However, there was no kettle, no plug to charge your phone on one side of the bed and no towel hook in the bathroom either. Not very practical. The reception wasn’t particularly friendly either.
