I had a great stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were very helpful and friendly throughout my stay, which made the experience even better.

The spa and swimming pool were excellent and a nice way to relax after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of options. It is not included in the room rate, but I found it worth paying for.

One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is its location. The train station is within walking distance, and it takes only about 15 minutes to reach Edinburgh city centre by train, making it very convenient for exploring the city.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again.

Clean room with quite firm beds. In common with an increasing number of hotels, no Information book or menus in the room and no clear way to find info on the TV. Food was of a good quality and a varied and tasty breakfast buffet. Very good and helpful service at reception and in the restaurant. Parking charges are steep but we were offered a “deal” to join their parking club that reduced the cost considerably. A handy (albeit rather expensive) and comfortable hotel just off the motorway.

My favourite things about the hotel were the super helpful and polite staff. The parking charges were £10 per 24h with a membership - only an issue if weren’t expecting it. I didn’t have time to use the gym or pool sadly. Breakfast was good but on Sunday suffered from UK cliche of bacon being boiled rather than grilled. Also didn’t realise until I was leaving that you had to request GF items from staff. Big bonus in they had lovely Greek yoghurt instead of the horrid low fat stuff. Literally 2 minutes walk from tram and train station to Edinburgh. Bright clean room with great bathroom.

The rooms at Novotel were spacious, modern, and comfortable. However, one issue significantly affected our stay—the hotel corridors had a persistent unpleasant smell, which seemed to come from the carpets. The odour was so strong at times that it made us feel nauseous. We hope the hotel addresses this, as the rooms themselves were otherwise very good.

The hotel’s connectivity to Edinburgh city centre was excellent. The nearest ScotRail station was only a five-minute walk away, and trains reached Edinburgh Waverley in around 10 minutes. We strongly recommend using the train instead of a taxi. Although the hotel is located some distance from the city centre, travelling by road can take around 40 minutes, while the train is much quicker. Train tickets are easy to purchase through the ScotRail app, and the smooth, level walk between the station and the hotel makes it convenient even with heavy luggage.

Tram and bus services were also available, providing easy access to Princes Street and other parts of the city. For convenience, Aldi and Tesco supermarkets were within a 5–7 minute walk, while KFC and Krispy Kreme were just a couple of minutes away.

The hotel breakfast was good but quite expensive. Budget-conscious travellers may prefer to buy breakfast items from Tesco or Pret A Manger and store them in the in-room fridge. If breakfast cost is not a concern, the hotel’s buffet is a perfectly enjoyable option.

I didn't realize when I booked that this hotel is right by a train station! It is a quick walk, you can see it from the front door, and only two stops to the main attractions in Edinburgh. The staff were lovely, especially the people who worked in the restaurant. All were helpful, attentive, friendly, and engaging. We ate dinner on-site twice and had breakfast included with our stay, so I can comment that the breakfast offered great options, and the dinner items we got were very good.

The only thing I question is why guests had to pay for parking - the hotel doesn't own the lot and does give a discount, but it was still a surprise.

My parents were also traveling in our party, and they had more amenities than we did. My husband and I ended up with one of the disability-equipped rooms (even though we are not disabled). Our room did not include the Nespresso machine, complimentary toiletries, robe/slippers, etc. Not a huge deal overall, but just something to be aware of if you request one of the disability-equipped rooms - be aware that these items are available, but you may need to ask for them if you want them.

We spent one night on our way to the airport. Two things to note: the hotel is right beside a very busy train track. If you are a light sleeper, then you should absolutely bring earplugs.

Secondly, it costs 15 pounds to park overnight as the car park is privately operated. It's the first time I experience that, and given the price we paid for the hotel for one night I found it usurious. It is also not disclosed until after you book.

This hotel is probably better situated for a tourist stay in Edinburgh than many of the hotels downtown. There is a tram station right next to the hotel and it takes only 15 minutes to get to the middle of Edinburgh. It might take longer to walk there even if you stay close to centre town.

Stayed in a room with twin beds. Room was clean and new. Quiet at night, slept well, good shower. Good breakfast-eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, cold cuts, cheese, breads, fruit and juices. Walking distance to Edinburgh Tram. Front desk staff would not give us a late check out by one hour. Very annoying male breakfast worker moved us from the our table. We initially sat at a table for 2, but moved because a man sat nearby that had doused himself with a bottle of cologne. We moved to a table for 6 further away. The male worker said we could not sit there because it was for six people. The room was half empty and never filled more than half full the entire time we ate breakfast. He grabbed my plate of food and moved it to a table for 2. He wore no gloves. This upset me because he was removing other dirty dishes from the tables. I did not eat any of the food on the plate he touched. Instead, I returned to the buffet and filled a plate with new food. The next day, we sat at a table for 2 for breakfast. My husband left a half filled plate while he went to the buffet for something he forgot. The same man tried to take his plate and mine even though I was still eating food from it?! I yelled at him to leave us alone. Also, both days we ate there, he literally ran around the room trying to take plates from people. Also, I used the hotel lobby bathroom just before leaving. It had a strong floral scent causing me to cough and sneeze. Stop polluting the air.
