modern and clean
Pros:

the location was perfect, everything was clean and comfortable, we loved the reclining bed and adjustable lights

Cons:

there was no bathroom, just toilet, shower and sink, but not in the same room… very difficult to take a shower if you have nowhere to leave your towel or clothes (especially if you are sharing the room with someone).
also windows could not be opened which meant using AC all the time

Buena ubicación
Pros:

Muy bien ubicado, habitación amplia y cama muy cómoda.

Cons:

No hay cuarto de baño como tal sino un cubículo con el váter, otro con la ducha y el lavado dentro de la habitación. Aunque ducha y váter se cerraban con puerta, si no tienes confianza con la persona que vaya a compartir la habitación mejor no elijas este hotel porque la intimidad es poca. El desayuno empezaba a las 7:00, algo tarde para los horarios de allí, y más teniendo en cuenta que muchas excursiones empezaban a las 7:30.

Really enjoyed our 4 night break at Yotel
Pros:

A really nice hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was compact but had everything you'd need for your stay. Breakfast was self service, plenty of choice and good quality.
If you opted not to have your room serviced you received £5 daily to spend in the hotel which was a nice bonus.

Cons:

Would have preferred tea and coffee facilities in the room but having it available 24/7 in the bar was not a bad alternative.

Pros:

Posizione buona 15 minuti dal centro

Cons:

Stanza umida poco pulita sotto il livello stradale, la direzione dell' hotel ha l' obbligo di avvisare che le Queen room sono sotto il livello stradale oppure al primo piano ma senza finestre. La colazione rasenta la sufficienza per un 4 stelle ma servita in una sala dove la confusione regna sovrana,rumorosa , affollata,disordinata, durante il nostro soggiorno le macchine del caffè erano rotte, sicuramente da evitare.
