23 hotel reviews for Hotel Novotel Edinburgh
Large hotel, big room, Wide hallways, friendly staff, very good by bus from the airport and train station to reach (from train station with the 27 direction hunter's trust). From the airport with the 35 direction ocean terminal. On ocean terminal you can also the royal yacht Britannia visit (top event!) 8 minutes until the city, 4 minutes until grassmarket (pub and restaurants ). Further sights very close.
Large shortcoming the house: 30 £should be left, as you yes the minibar and room service used could! Absolute Nonsense! Read more

The hotel is well served by public transport. From the Airport take the public Lothianbus. This is cheaper than the Airlink and stops right in front of the hotel. Station Lauriston place or even closer to the hospital. 10-15 minute shuttle all!
We had the city break offer. Cheap, but unfortunately no castle view. But it did not give a balcony with a view to use it.
Service and facilities good. Minor flaws in the shower (black) and 90 pound bail at the beginning a bit high. Of course you get posted, but was only surprised. Right so recommen... Read more

The Novotel Edinburgh centre is located in the old town area of old Edinburgh, a new building, rooms were appropriate and sufficiently large bathroom, separate toilet, tv, safe, megabyte, kettle and iron, a small pool and Jacuzzi, breakfast room with natural light, is used as a restaurant during the day, breakfast and more than enough vielsteig, staff friendly and helpful, also in the 'mode'. Nearby is a bus station: Lothian 35, how often it runs, I can't give any advice, from the airport to Waverley bridge to Airlink, from there it is about... Read more
