Stayed 1 night
Good location, very central , near the sights and the station. The room was clean and comfortable. The only problems were the heating was on very high in the hotel generally but it was very cold outside. Also the card key to my room was faulty so had to keep asking the staff to open my door which got a bit annoying. Also there were stains on the carpet . However, the breakfast was good in the morning and they had reduced the price of breakfast and generally the staff were very friendly and obliging.

Great base for doing Edinburgh on foot
Excellent location for walking round the main sites of Edinburgh. 5 - 10 minutes walk from Royal Mile and Grassmarket, then on to Princes Street, to Cineworld etc. Very fresh, smart, efficient, clean hotel. We had a twin room, the beds were very wide for singles so great sleep. Modern furnishings and great bathroom with bath and walk in shower, and seperate loo. Works well when sharing with a friend. Swimmin pool, gym and sauna in basement. Really good value for our late rooms price. Highly recommend

This is the 3rd Novotel I have
This is the 3rd Novotel I have stayed at. This 1 is far below in quality. Booked a superior room for 3 nights, cost between £180-250/night. The room itself and the hotel looks impressive but the working order of the room and its management/maintenance is abyssmal.The bathroom sink light did not function. The minibar light kept flickering on and off for 2 nights, not letting us sleep. After complaining for 2 days we got moved to another room.The bath plug did not work thus the bath would not empty itself. On the second night a soiled (with poo marks) face flannel fell out of the duvet cover. Both our keycards kept failing to work despite keeping them separate and away from magnets. It is clear the maintenance and the management of this hotel leaves a lot to be desired for. They offered to do the repairs to our complaints whilst we were there. I refused, stating these should be performed in between rentals not cause further discomfort to clients. Very unhappy! stay away from this Hotel!

dissed in Edinburgh
nice hotel, staff sucks
First, the denied there was a reservation, then finally found one of the two rooms. We had to pay to use the internet and email our reservation to them to prove there were two rooms at our rate . They refused to refund the internet charge on their own computers. They then said that we took stuff from the minibar, since they had forget to restock it prior to our arrival. The last straw was the cab they called did not arrive for the airport at 5AM and we had to hail one on the street in the snow.
