Amazing hotel!
I spent months trying to find the perfect hotel for my husband's 50th birthday treat and I am so glad I chose YOTEL! It was perfect! The room was clean, tidy and very cool. The staff were so helpful, friendly and easy to approach. The area where it was situated was great! It was set off the main city centre but only 5 minutes walk until you could see the castle, shops and the tram stop. Will definitely be visiting again but with our daughter next time!

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.
