Lock in a great price for Novotel Edinburgh Centre - rated 8.4 by recent guests.

to get started.

Everything about the hotel was fantastic. When my daughter and I checked in we were informed that we were guest of the day and got upgraded to a gorgeous room. We also received 2 free drinks and got lots of extra little personal touches to our stay. When we went for breakfast in the morning we had a reserved table and again some lovely personal touches. Food was great a lot of variety, staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend this hotel and I will definitely be back very soon.

Deborah, United Kingdom

Ideally placed for town centre but still a quiet and relaxed hotel. Food was good and a very pleasant bar area with good snacks. Super comfy bed helped recover from all the walking around the area !

Graham, United Kingdom

Booked room for family birthday celebration. Was reported as excellent, even supplies with cake on my brother in laws 60th birthday

Christopher, United Kingdom

perfect location. we had view on Edinburgh castle. we had standard queen room: big bad +sofa (someone can sleep there). In bathroom was shower + bath. staff was very friendly. we used swimming-pool and gym (a little bit cold there). we used parking in hotel, it costs 16 pounds for exit (it counts for exits, not for days). I highly recommend this hotel, especially because of location and comfort. Very family friendly.

Armi, United Kingdom

It was a great location, everywhere was within easy walking distance. The bar was very well stocked too! We didn't try the breakfast though, it looked over priced for what you got so we went to a couple of local places that where really good.

눉The dinner menu was not great. Ordered the Steak Sandwich, was fatty, chewing and tasteless, did not eat. I made the waitress aware of the problem and she took the plate away with all the meat still on the plate. Unfortunately a refund was not offered although she was apologetic. Did not eat here the 2nd night.
눇The Breakfast was lovely nice fresh hot food. Lovely Pancakes. My cup was very badly chipped but replaced immediately when pointed out.

눉Although the hotel do state that parking is limited and on a first come first served basis, it was very difficult going to and from the alternative car park 200 yards away up and down a hill- especially with baby and bags. Also clearly staff had enough of people asking them about parking and so were not very understanding. They said there was no way of them telling if and when a space would become available. Toilet is separate from sink and bath in the room.
눇Good location, walking distance from Edinburgh castle. Good breakfast.
