#8 of 9 hotels in New Town by Axel's take. New Town is #1 of 7 places to stay in Edinburgh. The best hotels in New Town, ranked · Where to stay in Edinburgh

Axel's take: 7.9/10

A good New Town base, provided compact rooms and unconventional bathrooms suit you. a compact, modern 4-star city hotel in Edinburgh’s New Town, scored for what it is.

YOTEL Edinburgh is a streamlined 4-star city hotel, not a traditional full-service stay. It’s a good pick for a short sightseeing break: Queen Street puts restaurants and Princes Street within easy walking distance, while recent Expedia and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise cleanliness, comfortable beds and helpful staff. The gym and downstairs bar add useful extras without making this a hotel you need to spend much time inside.

The compromises are mostly in the rooms. Standard categories are compact, some rooms are windowless, and the bedroom sinks and separate glass-partitioned toilet and shower sacrifice privacy. Tripadvisor and Trip.com guests also flag awkward controls, occasional noise and uneven breakfast quality. Many rooms lack kettles, with tea and coffee downstairs instead. We’d skip it for a long stay or when sharing with someone you’d prefer more bathroom privacy from.

  • Best for: solo sightseeing breaks; couples comfortable with compact rooms; travelers exploring on foot

  • Watch out for: some room categories include windowless rooms; unconventional bathroom layout and limited privacy; variable breakfast and occasional room noise

  • Location: Walkable New Town setting near George Street and Princes Street; Waverley is roughly 15 minutes away on foot.

  • Rooms: Standard rooms are around 16 square metres; check the window provision and bathroom layout before booking.

  • Cleanliness: A consistent strength across booking sites, supported by many recent positive guest reports.

  • Service: Staff are generally praised; self-service check-in has round-the-clock assistance available.

  • Amenities: 24-hour gym, bar, dining and breakfast; many rooms lack kettles, and there is no room service.

  • Fees and surprises: Cashless hotel; parking is off-site and paid, breakfast may be extra, and Edinburgh’s visitor levy applies to eligible bookings.
