Late check-out, attentive staff!
The 11am check out is very generous. Great location, staff were attentive and happy to help. They held my bags safely after check-out, until I returned that evening.
No window, the rooms are like pods. I wasn’t too bothered as I stayed one night, but some travellers might be disappointed.

A cosy city hotel, with some frustrating issues
The location of the hotel is pretty good, 2mins walk to Bethnal Green station and the Central line. There are also lots of good restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and parks close by. Whilst the twin rooms are quite cosy, the double room that I had was a good size. The smart TV worked well.
For the 2nd time staying here I arrived to find that the room I had booked, a double bed room, was not available, and that I would be placed, temporarily, in a twin room. This happening once I can forgive, but twice, it was annoying. Thankfully I was able to move into a double room on my second night. Also, I was informed that the hotel was unable to store laptop bags during the day as the storage room was not secure. This was also frustrating and inconvenient. In the rooms, the mattress is a bit firm, and given the nature of the hotel the bathrooms are efficiently small. Also the rooms on the lower floors are underground with no windows. There also seemed to be plumbing issues, as water seemed to drip from the shower head during the night, even though it was turned off.

Very good would definitely stay again
very clean, really enjoyed the breakfast & the staff were really friendly and welcoming
it was just a bit tight in the room , as we paid extra for the window it would have been nice to have been able to open it to air out the room

Good value for money
Location was great, tube is right around the corner so you can reach every part of London by it, as well as busses. The room was small, just exactly what you need.
The room, especially the bathroom could have been more clean.

Great location. Very comfortable.
Excellent location - just over the road from Bethnal Green tube station. Very comfy beds and high spec furnishings..
The bar closed at 10 and the staff were a bit chaotic. I'd expect something a bit slicker from a company like YoTel.

Windowless room was claustrophobic but it's what I booked

We're going deeper underground
The staff were very accommodating.
Most rooms here are underground. I booked a Queen room, it didn't state in the room title that it had no windows, so make sure you read all the details before booking. However when I flagged this to the staff they upgraded me free of charge.

Really enjoyed staying in this vibrant part of London. Interesting people and shops. YOTEL was very clean and safe. Would definitely stay again.
I didn’t know the room would have no window but it wasn’t a big issue.

Good location, I felt safe the entire trip. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Can't comment on restaurant and bar as I didn't use it but there were places nearby and it is a short tube ride into central London. Good size bed, rain shower was lovely. A good place for solo travellers overall.
Pillows were quite hard for me personally and there weren't any alternatives but it was fine for a short trip and hotels can't accommodate for everything. Room was smaller than I thought it would be but it is central London so you have to expect that. A tight squeeze for more than one adult with luggage though. So something to bear in mind. Bathroom also a bit small.

It was good
I liked its location and the bar. But the rooms were a bit smaller as well as the washroom.
I didn’t like the service because there was a coffee machine in the room but it was a bit complicated so I asked the service guy but they just showed me how to do that but it didn’t help.

Housekeeping is very efficient and done daily. The place is very clean. Everything in the room is working well. The team has thought of everything to ensure guests are comfortable in the rooms. The front desk staff are very friendly and helpful. A very short and pleasant walk to the train station.
We stayed for a week. It would be nice if mineral water can be topped up daily. There was no top ups at all. The room is really very small. It would be great if we are allowed to have walk-in breakfast, without extra charge, rather than having to inform the counter staff at least 12 hours before.

Affordable stay in clean and comfortable rooms close to the tube station
It’s a real value for money, very close to the Bethnal green station.
The rooms are quite small but that was expected.

Friendly staff, great location, modern
Very friendly staff, clean room, modern, great location . Coffee machine, great shower. Pretty quiet
The rooms in the basement without a window felt claustrofobic, but they gladly upgraded me to another room up higher, but still the inability to open a window for fresh air made my skin quite dry. Matrass was a bit too hard for me
