The hotel and staff were very pleasant. However, of the 8 nights spent at the YOTEL, 5 nights were beastly hot in the room. Not matter how many times I asked for help with temp controls, nothing was done.

Although I prefer a more traditional hotel, the experience wasn’t bad. The room was small, but had everything you needed. The bar area was nice and the staff friendly.

Breakfast provision was poor value for money and the dining space was inadequate for the demand. I booked my breakfast via one of the automated check in machines on arrival - I thought £14 was excessive (Premier Inn breakfast is £10 and substantially better quality & quantity). When I went for breakfast the booking hadn’t registered so I was charged £16 which made it worse value. I raised this at reception and was told there was nothing that could be done. Because a tour group of 50 or more people were swarming around it was difficult to get seated and the choices were restricted the overall breakfast experience was pressured & uncomfortable and not my expectation of a hotel in this price bracket - a £75 per night hostel was the impression created.

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!

10/10. However, I just need to say that the cleaning lady needs to observe proper hygiene as her body odor leaves a lingering strong smell in the hallways and in the room. Not being mean but just really need to give the feedback to better improve the services.
