Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Hotel that makes every moment matter

Located in the heart of the Scottish capital, the 4-star Novotel Edinburgh Centre is ideal for both business and leisure travels.
After a day exploring Edinburgh, recuperate in our heated pool & spa, and join us for craft beers and local gins followed by a lovely contemporary dinner in the Tap Kitchen & Bar. And when you're ready to relax, discover the meaning of true comfort in our newly upgraded rooms.

With internationally-renowned attractions like the Royal Mile, Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle on your doorstep, you're close to the action. The quirky bars and independent stores of Grassmarket are also perfect for souvenir shopping and refreshments. 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!

Anabella L. Friends - 10/22/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Some of the team was very kind and helpful. Other members were not as accommodating. When I went down for breakfast, the employee made me feel uncomfortable about the fact that it wasn't included in my stay and that I was paying for it -- I had no issue paying at all, but they kept looking at me as if it was a strange arrangement. Before traveling here, I also tried to shift my dates. The hotel was willing to accommodate and even offered a 100 pound food stipend to be kind; all that was left was for the third-party travel agency to comply. The third party travel agency did not comply; upon learning this, the hotel pulled the 100 pound food stipend and created a condition that it was only for me if I moved my hotel dates, which was surprising to read and unfortunate to learn.

Dear AnaBella L., Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Novotel Edinburgh Centre. We are pleased to hear that you found your stay comfortable and appreciated the kindness of some of our team members. I would like to address your feedback regarding the breakfast experience. We aim to provide a welcoming atmosphere for all our guests, and I regret that the interaction you had did not reflect our standard of service. Your comfort during your stay is paramount to us. Regarding the food stipend, I understand your disappointment with the change in conditions. Our intention was to accommodate your needs as best as possible, and I apologize for any confusion caused by the involvement of the third-party travel agency. We strive to work collaboratively with our partners to ensure a seamless experience for our guests. Thank you once again for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future for a more enjoyable stay. Best regards, Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Had a great stay lovely hotel. Helpful and courteous staff. My only criticism is no wash hand basin or sanitizer for hand hygiene in toilet.

Dear Heather H., Thank you for your positive feedback regarding your stay and our attentive staff. I appreciate your suggestion about hand hygiene facilities in the restroom, and I will ensure this is considered as we continually seek to enhance our guest experience. Best regards, Novotel Edinburgh Centre
