I had never heard of the Yotel brand before making this booking. I was pleasantly surprised when staying there.
The hotel was like no other that I have stayed at. Walking into the reception, I found an eclectic mix of weird and wonderful things, put together to make a great welcoming space, not the clinical feel you often get in hotel receptions.
There is a bar / cafe / restaurant next to reception which has several people using, giving a vibrant atmosphere to the reception area.
The guy manning reception was friendly, welcoming, efficient and helpful, whilst appearing quite eccentric. It was a great start to our stay.
Going to my room, the hotel appeared very well kept, clean and the corridors appeared very wide, good decor and carpets.
Our room was clean and I loved the style, quite modern but equally warm and welcoming.
The bed / pillows were all comfortable. I needed extra pillows, these were ordered using the WhatsApp number on the wall in the room, rather than the traditional “calling reception”. This worked well and the pillows were delivered in a few by minutes. There were plenty of plug sockets / USB sockets available.
One small gripe was that the sliding bathroom door squeaked when moved, being irritating in the middle of the night. This was reported to reception at checkout and will therefore hopefully be fixed for the next guest.
All I all, an excellent stay, with a great nights sleep. I would have no hesitation recommending this hotel.
