We stayed there at the end of September. Our first time in Edinburgh and it was fantastic. The hotel was a walking distance to the castle, museums and restaurants. The hotel staff were welcoming, friendly and very professional. Yesica and Magda were awesome at the bar and at breakfast. Kudos to them and the rest of the awesome staff of the Novotel Edinburgh Center!

The pool was nice and not too crowded when we were there.

Great location for exploring Edinburgh. Close to all major attractions. The breakfast buffet had plenty of choices. Restaurant staff was attentive. We ate dinner one night in the hotel.

It's about a 5/10 min walk to Victoria Street, so about 10/15 to the Roy...
