I visit Edinburgh a lot for work. On this occasion, all my preferred hotels were busy. The Novotel wasn't a bad alternative. It's very close to the railway station and to the Royal Mile (High Street). The road itself is unprepossessing, but seems safe enough. All the staff were very helpful, and the room was ready even though I checked... more

I like the Novotels in Europe better than in Canada. Very spacious and clean rooms. Neat Ikea like furniture. Immaculate washrooms with funky sink/taps. Very quiet room. The best part: My view! of what? Edinburgh Castle!!! The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to the Castle which is the starting point of any Edinburgh adventures. Hotel's breakfast was buffett... more

After looking around on many of the usual holiday booking sites, the cheapest deal I could find was from the Novotel website. That was for the deal that included breakfast; most of the other sites only had deals that excluded breakfast (£12 extra if you wanted it). Room was slightly bigger than normal for this standard, including sofa. TV reception... more

Stayed here for three nights. Double room with sofa bed for our daughter booked through Novotel site for £85 per night B & B. I didn't meet any of the staff who were local but that seems normal for an international brand in a capital city. All of the staff I did meet were very nice and helpful. Continental breakfast... more

Down to Edingburgh to apply for a visa, I spent one night with my best travel companions: my wife and daughter. This was my second time to stay in a Novotel Hotel, the first being the Montparnasse in Paris. The design is the same, so I will be focused on the quality of service and food. Quality of service: The... more

Safe, iron and iron board in room, tea and coffee facilities, power shower which was amazing, I-pod connections and internet connections along with big... more

Quite new hotel in the centre, very well located. Excellent leisure facilities and bar. Rooms were spacious, comfy and clean. Fast WiFi and a good range of TV channels Staff were friendly and the bar was open until 5am - always a bonus. They had a Playstation in the looby as well! We also used the conference facilities in the... more

I booked this hotel very last minute, and was really just looking for a bed and breakfast. However, the price for a room at the Novotel was pretty much the same, and it was far more central. The location is great, although the car park thing was a bit annoying. We arrived late on a Saturday and paid to park... more

I stayed here overnight whilst visiting family for the usual New Years festivities. Hotel is clean and comfortable, though we were only in it to sleep and off again! Breakfast is ok, though one sunday morning did involve quite a queue at the door, and a wait to get a clean table! Beware of car parking charge, as can be... more
