Also, close to the city's Conference Centre, office district, famous theatres and the Old Town; Novotel Edinburgh Centre is the ideal choice for both business and leisure travellers.

Whether you're in town for a spot of high-summer Fringe Festival fever, Hogmanay first-footing, whisky nosing or just a good old-fashioned city break, Edinburgh prides itself on offering a traditional Scottish welcome like no other!

Excellent Hotel, staff, rooms, location, food but sadly let down by dirty pool

robert s 1/28/2026 TripAdvisor review

Good location, fairly peaceful compared with being more in noisy centre, staff friendly and helpful, rooms excellent, excellent buffet breakfast we couldn’t fault hotel apart from swimming pool which had what appeared to be an oil slick film, a guest said it was due to people bathing with oily body lotions, people should take hot shower before entering it’s not a bath, sadly we together with the other guest we spoke to never used the pool Please put sign up saying hotel shower before entering pool We would use hotel again but not pool.

terry k 1/25/2026 TripAdvisor review

Went with a group of people ,various ages, for 2 nights early Jan. This is a super hotel, lovely rooms, great staff and superb location. Everything wonderfully organized, seamless check in, a really nice atmosphere . Outstanding in particular, Annie Lau , who because of her wonderful communication skills, ensured that everyone, all 38 people, had an amazing time . thank you from everyone. Already looking at a return visit.
