Yotel Hotels in Edinburgh

This was my first time staying at this hotel after reading many reviews, and here are my thoughts: The room was clean and nice, and the location is excellent – right in the city centre. I arrived early, around 12:30 PM, and asked if early check-in was possible (standard check-in is at 3 PM). The receptionist said yes, but only with an additional charge – no complimentary option was offered. This was the first time I’ve ever had to pay for early check-in. Also receptionist mentioned there are charges applicable if I don't check-out at 11am sharp 😞. While the room itself was clean, it was not soundproof. I could hear noise from the corridor, including cleaning activities and other guests closing their doors. There was no kettle in the room and no room service available, which meant I had to go to the ground floor every time I wanted a coffee or tea. My room was on the fifth floor, so this wasn’t very convenient. The bar/restaurant service was extremely slow and had a very laid-back attitude – not ideal if you’re in a hurry or expecting prompt service. Overall, the hotel has potential due to its location and cleanliness, but the lack of basic amenities, noise issues, and poor service were disappointing.
