Wonderful hotel & close walking distance
Novotel was very clean & the front desk were very nice during our stay! There’s a gym , pool & hot tub available for guests. It’s located in a very nice area of Edinburgh & was within 20min walking distance to tourist attractions. 15 min walk to EDI castle, the university Meadows is nearby & the national museum, 15 min to waverly station & so on!

Good hotel
Nice room although separate toilet was a little dark. There was drilling going on in the morning somewhere in the hotel. Breakfast was good although coffee was a bit weak, even espresso.

Not staying at Novotel again
Cheap, sinking, unsupportive mattress and too thick pillows made for a dreadful nights sleep and a very stiff neck. Loud music in reception made it impossible to communicate, especially for someone with a hearing impairment. Good pool, good food in restaurant, but got noisy in there on Sat night when live music playing in bar, so not very relaxing after 7pm.
