Novotel Edinburgh Centre

Rooms and facilities

Room types run from standard and family rooms to superior, executive and castle-view rooms, plus a suite. After a day on the cobbles there is a heated pool and spa and a fitness centre. Tap Kitchen & Bar is the on-site restaurant, and breakfast and room service are available. The hotel is non-smoking and cashless. Seven meeting rooms make it practical for business stays, and free Wi-Fi runs throughout.

Location

Lauriston Place sits on the southern edge of the Old Town. The Grassmarket is about 320 metres away, Edinburgh Castle about 800 metres, and Haymarket station roughly a ten-minute walk. Greyfriars Kirkyard and the Scotch Whisky Experience are both within half a kilometre, and Edinburgh Airport is about 11 km by road. Room service is available if you would rather stay in after a long day.

Who it suits

On-site parking is unusual this close to the Old Town, so the Novotel works well for anyone arriving by car, though note Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone. Pets are welcome and family rooms are available, and the meeting rooms make it a common choice for work trips too. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, and a bus stop is about 160 metres from the door.
