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!

General Manager Mikhail Myasin and his team look forward to welcoming you soon to Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Perfect location Modern and well maintained Clean and tidy Very helpful staff Leisure amenities modest but should be considered a bonus all considered

Dear Eoin, Thank you for your kind words regarding your recent stay. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our prime location, modern facilities, and the cleanliness of our hotel.

Tarnowska K. Families - 2/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Room was clean and comfortable, free access to pool however, we were so busy didn’t have time to use it. Car park is very tight and limited in space but we managed to get one on arrival. Would recommend and stay again.

Dear K., Thank you for your kind words regarding the cleanliness and comfort of your room. We appreciate your feedback about the parking situation and are glad you found a space. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay in the future. Best regards, Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Keith H. Couples - 2/5/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Check In was shocking - took ages number written wrong on the room card so needed to return to reception and join a long queue. The room was rather tired. The shower was slippy. The room was not serviced until 4.30pm just after we had returned from a long day in the city. The smoke alarm light in the centre of the room was annoying. The room was a good size and it was located in a nice suburb of the city

Dear Keith h., Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I apologize for the delays you experienced during check-in and the inconvenience caused by the incorrect room number. We aim to provide timely room servicing, and I regret that your room was attended to later than expected. Your comments about the room's condition and the shower safety have been duly noted, and we appreciate your observations. While I am pleased to hear that you enjoyed the room size and our location, I understand that these issues detracted from your overall experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Best regards, Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Dear Alin D. G., Thank you for your positive feedback regarding your comfortable stay and the cleanliness of our modern rooms.
