This hotel is very close and convenient to the castle, and the south side shops. It is off the main street so it nice and quiet. For kids, this is great. It was also one of the few hotels where our young kids (5 & 8) could stay in the same room. The heated pool is wonderful, and a great... More

I have stayed in many hotels including Novotel hotels all over the world and I have to say this hotel is nowhere near a 4stars hotel they claim it is. Poor decor, air conditioning in the room was not working, telephone in the room was not working, the glasses and the cups had lips marks on them. Breakfast was really... More

Stayed for a weekend with our 2 girls and found this an excellent base. Particularly good for the old town. Pool is a real bonus and the bus stop outside makes it very convenient for heading out to Leith or returning to the airport. You can walk easily here from the station in 20 minutes although some of it is... More

Was booked in here in late April 2013 for a night before a business meeting. Unfortunately, despite being assured a room had been booked for me, I arrived at around 8pm to find that the hotel had no record of my stay. Not having time to source alternative accommodation, I bit the bullet and asked if any rooms were available... More

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times on business. Most of the city attractions are walkable from here and the hotel is on a fairly quiet road. The staff are very friendly and helpful and quick to respond to any request. The facilities are good, with a pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Breakfast is buffet style and varied, although... More

This hotel is modern with comfortable good sized rooms. It is located about 5 minutes walk from the National Museum of Scotland and the Festival Theatre and close to the Grassmarket. The Castle is also close but the long steep climb up the steps is not the best route there for oldies! Breakfast at the hotel is good and the... More

My husband and I stayed here for a 2 night /3 day city break. We arrived late afternoon at the hotel and were very pleased to find that our room was ready.. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, and as the car park was full on the Sunday afternoon we were advised to park on the... More

My husband and I stayed here for a 3 day city break. We arrived mid morning at the hotel and were very pleased to find that our room was ready, allowing us a rest after an early morning flight. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful, giving us information about were to eat and the quickest way... More

Novotels are one of my favourite brands, but I usually opt for alternatives, as the price can sometimes be out of my personal and business range. However, my Sun/Mon stay matched great prices, so they got my business. It's much closer to the city centre than I originally thought, so a good location if you don't mind a little walking... More
