"First time to a property like this and was very impressed! Super clean everywhere- high quality bedding- lovely common areas- AMAZING LOCATION!"

YOTEL Edinburgh

10/10 Excellent

"The property is located close to historical sites plus venues for eating. The rooms are "modern" and clean. The staff was always helpful with answering my questions. The only issue I had is that the rooms do not have a chair to sit upon. If you want to sit and work on a computer you either sit on a stuffed stool (causes back pain) or sit on the bed that converts electronically into a large "sofa" of sorts. A chair would have been fine. Other than that the room was very comfortable."
