Hotel Novotel Edinburgh Centre
80 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, EH3 9DE, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Very quick check in. Ideal location, plus great room view of the castle. Staff were lovely, and when people the room above were making a lot of noise (arguing) the staff saw to it immediately and texted us to let us know it had been dealt with - was really impressed by this, especially given the nature of the noise complaint.

Breakfast was stupendous, so good and facilities was so much better than I expected. Room was lovely and everything about it was just great made me feel like I wasn’t even in Scotland.

Friendly staff, great facilities and kids love the room

Everything i asked for and more was exactly. Staff were amazing help. Room was an eye open was amazing and never seen anything like it before 😮😁😁 food was amazing. I would come back here again definitely.

large and comfortable room breakfast was good with soy milk available on request I visited during covid times so obviously things were strange but efficient

The hotel and receptionist great guy upgraded room for the mrs birthday and couldn't fault the stay and if you need a new manager that receptionists is your man servise was outstanding

The location of the hotel was great. Short walk to the grass market, castle etc. Decor was beautiful. All staff were very helpful. Pool area was clean and warm. Rooms were great size and beds were very comfortable. Food in the restaurant was beautiful, found it a little expensive. But the quality of the food was great. So well worth it. Would defo stay again.

Everything else! The room was spacious, the pool was great, staff were amazing.

Staff were really friendly and couldn’t do enough to help. When they found out it was our little boys birthday they gave him a little gift which was really thoughtful in the current climate.

Located greatly for visiting the city and castle had a great weekend. Pool and facilities under current circumstances was Awesome.
