Walkable distance to everything we came to do. We were upgraded to an executive suite with castle view which was great. Rooms lovely and clean. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel so can’t comment on it, but it looked great. Also didn’t make use of the pool or gym. Staff were very helpful in letting us leave our suitcases before check in and after we checked out as our train wasn’t until 6.30pm. Check out being 12pm was a massive bonus too.
Nothing, it was great.

Clean and comfortable
We booked the property specifically for parking. Except the first night parking was. It available. Public parking was far off from the hotel. Hotel staff did not provide enough information about the discounted parking charges offered to the guest. On third night when we came to know about this, discount token was given as a compensation our breakfast was made complimentary. Which we appreciated however staffs should be friendly and informative enough.

Good location and the room was a decent size.
The bathroom didn’t feel too clean and the staff were not particularly friendly.

Great location, lovely room with comfortable bed and quiet for a great sleep. Good breakfast. Small pool with sauna and hot tub was a nice treat and a small gym which includes dumbbells as well as a multi-function machine. Couple of cardio machines too

I thought they breakfast was over priced, toast machine needs a over haul/replacing as toast goes through 3 times on highest setting.
I would of liked a bigger room to be honest, nothing wrong with the room but with 2 small children and the sofa bed pulled permanently the space was extremely limited, the breakfast, seemed to be a limited choice and many condiments were missing/used and not refilled.

Stay was comfortable, close to all main attractions. Amazing breakfast
Our room didnt have toiletries kept in. However, the housekeeping staff restocked in the evening.

We booked for Halloween 2026
It’s a great location - If you don’t want to be surrounded by the madness of central city centre, then this is your place to go!
We booked here thinking it would be closer to central activities, it is slightly out the way of that in terms of walking but it was honestly a god send for the chaotic night of Halloween.
Further to this we had booked a lovely room which included a bath, I honestly had such a relaxing stay my only downfall was I didn’t try the pool or stay for a few days instead of one night.
The Tap bar was excellent with a musician who was great and the food is top notch for a hotel.
I’ve never experience anything like it, honestly lovely for me and my partner.
We will definitely be back, we loved the location.
My only downfall is if I was going for central activities it would be a bit of a walk, but in terms of when it’s busy it’s nice to be out of the way as you can actually have a bit of quiet. So not really a downfall at all!

Pleasant
Location was good.
Staff are miserable, I don’t think any of them smiled. Pool has extremely high levels of chlorine, the smell permeates the entire hotel - surely this is not safe levels?!
Could be cleaner.
Definitely not four stars.

The rooms were a good size, the hotel was located on a walking distance to the Old town and Grassmarket square. We only stayed one night so I can't judge other parts of the hotel, we didn't have dinner or breakfast there.
The hotel was quite good and well placed, I can't really fault much about about it due to our very short stay there. would recommend it to other travellers. There are only a handful of parking spaces, so if traveling by car, there are no spaces guaranteed.

The location is great , walking distance to all the major attractions
Overpriced! You basically get provided with a bed to stay the night！ I have been to Novotel in other cities/countries, this is the worse experience I have had. Edinburgh is a city you want to return to visit again, but no chance of returning to this hotel for next time, the only friendly and helpful staff member was the housekeeping lady, the staff at the reception… well they don’t appear to understand the rating of 4 star hotel because they provided 1 star service!

The pool, gym and breakfast (wasn't the best but compared to other was quite good)
The room was small for 2 people, although for just a couple of night it was fine.

Wonderful
The location was within walking distance of the city center; about a 15 minute walk. It was an easy walk in one direction (gradual incline) but challenging in the other direction (stairs). The room was small, but I have had smaller in other hotels, the bed was comfortable and the room was well-appointed. It was quiet in our room even though the hotel was busy, as the Fringe Festival and Tattoo were happening.
Check-in kept us waiting past the advertised time. We are sure this was because the hotel was full. There are a lot of seating areas in the lobby, and in other areas, where we waited for our room.
Thank you for your information!
