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

to get started.

Room had enough space, good TV channel selection for foreign visitors, location was great for walking to historic venues, and the restaurant and lounge staff was extraordinarily helpful and kind. Specifically, Alice and Barbara in the lounge were so attentive and pleasant, and truly made our trip to Edinburgh better.

When I arrived I was informed I was their guest of the day and was therefore upgraded to the executive suite and was provided with other benefits for the duration of my stay. These included discounts,late checkout etc. Was a lovely surprise. Thank you

I like the fact that the hotel is within walking distance to and from the city center but at the same time, away from the noise! The internet wifi service was good and the breakfast was nice. Transportation to the airport and everywhere was near the hotel.

눉The hotel building was constructed in such a way that it is nearly impossible to get a great view of anything because it is downhill.

“staff were helpful and kind but the hotel wasn't up to usual Novotel standards and quite expensive,”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Standard Queen Room with Sofa
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉the shower/toilet with separate basin in the bedroom is odd, there was nowhere to hang a towel when you were in the shower. The swimming pool was depressingly dark and the jacussi was out of order - surrounded by red tape - make the whole pool area look uninviting. it was a fair walk to the centre (station) - ok but not so good if you were carrying heavy bags.
눇the beds were very comfortable, the room was quiet. staff were helpful.

눉i did not like the lay out of the bathroom and toilet. it is the first time i have stay in a hotel where there is no washing facilities next to it. there is no hook inside the toilet to hang your clothes. you must get of of the loo to be able to wash your hands. this is unacceptable there is no privacy in that sense. this is a stupid design when it comes to the bathrooom and toilet. i would not book this room again if it is still like this
눇good location. staff very polite. close to lots of amenities an attractions. reasonable price. very helpful staff. clean. very spacious. lift working all the time good connection with publc transport.

“Disappointing for a Novotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Queen Room with Sofa
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Jacuzzi under refurbishment, but we were not informed. The pool facilities were poor and unclean. The room was very dated/not worth 250 p/n.The reception staff informed of incorrect bar/food closing times. hotel bar closed at 11 along with food. no cocktail mixers left on the aug long weekend. Parking cannot be arranged in advance and the parking is cramps and you risk having your car damaged because you have no choice but to park in a vulnerable spot. Overall, we were very disappointed with the experience and felt a little robbed of our cash for a room that really seems it needs an overhaul.
눇Staff were nice, breakfast was good. Thats really all unfortunately.
