Great hotel. The only negative is that the TV is not smart, so you can’t sign in into a streaming network on the tv.
Gleyce, 3-night trip

The stay was excellent. The only criticism I have is that the TV in the room was not smart, therefore we could not watch Netflix or other streaming services.

Wonderful hotel & close walking distance

Novotel was very clean & the front desk were very nice during our stay! There’s a gym , pool & hot tub available for guests. It’s located in a very nice area of Edinburgh & was within 20min walking distance to tourist attractions. 15 min walk to EDI castle, the university Meadows is nearby & the national museum, 15 min to waverly station & so on!
