Guest UserThe hotel was conveniently located about 20 minutes from the airport by tram and about 15 minutes from Edinburgh Waverley by train. There is a large outlet mall with big supermarket names (Tesco, Aldi, etc) about 10 minutes away. Quite a convenient place to stay for a couple of days! Staff were really helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the room was very quiet. Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel!

Anonymous UserThis Edinburgh hotel's location is truly spot-on. The street it's on is very quiet, ensuring a completely undisturbed night's rest and excellent sleep quality. You only have to walk one street over to reach a lively, bustling area, with key attractions like Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle not far away. Being able to return to a peaceful accommodation after an evening drink and dinner, blending both lively and tranquil experiences, is a huge plus. The decor is youthful and modern, the facilities are clean and up-to-date, and the service is excellent. The self check-in kiosk is a unique feature; once you get the hang of it, it's very efficient, making the overall check-in experience quite comfortable. I'll definitely choose this hotel again when I'm in Edinburgh city center!

Guest UserThe room isn't very big, and the location is a bit far from Edinburgh Waverley Station. It's a bit of a walk with luggage, but still acceptable. It's not far from the bus station, which is convenient for taking day tour buses. The service was good; they proactively arranged two room changes for us. The pillows weren't comfortable, so I slept a bit restlessly. Overall, it's still pretty good.

Guest UserAlthough the hotel isn't in the city center, it's still quite convenient for getting around, with several bus lines terminating nearby. The convenience stores are very welcoming to Chinese visitors, and the mall across the street is handy, even offering Chinese food to satisfy our 'Chinese stomachs'.
The service was excellent; the front desk staff, especially one handsome gentleman, was warm and friendly, even remembering guests who had checked in before. 👍
Breakfast was a standard, decent English breakfast – clean and hygienic.

Sesha.KanduriWithout doubt, this was one of our finest hotel stays in recent memory. From the moment we arrived, Novotel Edinburgh set the tone with a level of warmth and professionalism that genuinely stood out. The staff were incredibly helpful throughout and what really demonstrated this was a small but telling moment: we lost our key card during the stay, and it was replaced immediately, without any fuss or inconvenience whatsoever. It's the kind of effortless service that puts you completely at ease, and it's something you remember long after checkout.
The breakfast deserves a special mention — it was simply top notch. The spread was so good that holding back was near impossible, and it's the kind of breakfast that makes you actually look forward to the morning. Freshly prepared, well-stocked, and served with care — it's one of the best hotel breakfasts we've had.
The location is outstanding. Sitting just a mile from Edinburgh Castle, you're right in the heart of one of the most iconic cities in the UK. Public transport couldn't be more convenient either buses are accessible right behind the hotel, making it incredibly easy to get around the city without needing a car at all.
The one area that needs addressing is parking. The hotel's own car park is frequently full, which meant we had to use the nearby NCP instead. To the hotel's credit, they did provide a discount for the NCP - a thoughtful gesture that softened the inconvenience. However, it's worth noting for electric vehicle drivers: the EV charging at the NCP is painfully slow, so factor that into your plans if you're arriving in an electric car. A heads-up from the hotel at check-in would go a long way.
Parking frustrations aside, Novotel Edinburgh is a brilliant base for exploring the city - exceptional staff, an unmissable breakfast, and a location that's hard to beat. We'd return without hesitation.

MalichathThe Hotel has modern decor, a nice atmosphere, and is neat and clean. The room is a bit small, but it's comfortable and ok for a short stay. It's well decorated and tidy. It's a bit far from the center, about a 20-minute walk, but it's very convenient to travel by the tram, which stops in front of the hotel, only 5 mins reach the center. There's only 1 tram in the city. If you come by train, getting off at Waverley Station, you walk to the Waverley Market, the Princess Street exit, and you can get on the tram to the hotel, getting off at the Haymarket stop, very very convenient. As I'm Thai, I met a Thai staff member at the reception, and he's very nice, friendly, and helpful. I will certainly come back to stay here if I come to Edinburgh again. Edinburgh is so beautiful, like a fairy tale.

Anonymous UserThe family room was very clean. Although it was located near the main street, it wasn't noisy at all. Both rooms had blackout curtains and door stoppers. I couldn't figure out how to use the washing machine, but the staff responded very quickly to help. The location is great; it's only a few pounds by taxi to the attractions, or you can even walk if you're up for it. Overall, a very comfortable stay.

Jessica_JiayuanThe room was quite spacious, and the bathroom facilities were good. However, it was located in the annex building, while the main building offered balconies. We received a discount, but the £20 breakfast wasn't a buffet; it was à la carte. The view outside the restaurant was nice.

Niugulu·narenbuheTraveling on a budget with a self-drive car, I was pleasantly surprised. It was arguably the most comfortable night's stay I had in all of Scotland. Being an international chain, the breakfast was also a bit more varied than other hotels. The room was quite spacious, pretty much on par with a Holiday Inn back home, just a tad older. Plenty of parking space too.

Nancy and the heavily made-up auntie who did the cleaning provided excellent service. The washing machine and dishwasher in my original room, 27 on the second floor, were broken. They later moved me to room 23, where the appliances worked, though they were a bit old. However, when I went to shower at night, I found the hot and cold water taps were broken and I couldn't adjust the temperature at all. There was no one at the front desk at night, and the water was scalding hot. I informed the staff on Saturday morning, but it still wasn't fixed when I returned that evening. It remained broken until I checked out on Tuesday. I don't know how I managed to get through those days with only scalding hot water.
There's a bar downstairs, and I was woken up twice on the first night by the noise. On another night, I was woken up at 12 AM by people celebrating a birthday.
