Janet M. Couples - 9/2/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Had an overnight stay and the location was great as we were going to the Tattoo at the Castle which was only about a 15 minute walk away. The room was comfortable. The price did not include breakfast. This was another charge of £21.50 which we didn't pay as I thought it quite expensive for what you got.

Dear Janet, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location and found your room comfortable. We understand your concerns regarding the breakfast pricing; it is indeed a separate charge to provide our guests with the flexibility to choose. Your input is valuable, and we will take it into consideration. Goodbye, and best wishes, Novotel Edinburgh Centre
