Hotels in Edinburgh Old Town, Edinburgh

Fantastic location, right on the Royal Mile! I booked the 12-person dorm, which turned out to be a bit too many people for me. Unfortunately, there was also someone with body odor. However, everyone else was very quiet. The common areas were clean and promptly tidied, with no unpleasant smells. This was my first hostel experience, and as a Pisces, I found it a bit challenging, mainly because I'm worried about disturbing others.

We had a lovely stay at the Ibis on the Royal mile. Our room was modern, adequate in size. The temperature was just right and the bed comfortable. The location was excellent. We stayed at the back of the hotel and wasn’t bothered by a lot of noise. I would definitely recommend and will go back one day. An excellent choice and great value.

We booked a twin-private room. The room was small, so we had to put the luggage under the bed. If you want your room to be cleaned, then you have to book the room cleaning by scanning a QR code, 1 day before. We did it, but then no one cleaned our room. We told the reception, and they said they didn't receive our request. Hence, we had to re-book for the following day, and we told the reception as well. Only then, our room got cleaning. They cleaning was the basic one, emptied the trash bin, and refilled the toilet tissue. They wouldn't make up your bed. The hostel is strategically located, but to shorten the length, you have to take the stairs step (around 300m only). If you are with heavy luggage, then it will be around 700m from the train station (wheel-chair access street)

Service was good enough and as per expectations of a big hotel brand. Nothing to complain about. The only complaint I have is about the amenities. There was no dental kit provided in the room and when requested for, I was asked to come down to the reception to collect it rather than have housekeeping deliver to the room. There was no single use slippers either and I had to pay £5 for it which I felt was pretty excessive for a disposable pair of slippers.. I paid for it anyway since I needed it. The staff were kind about it though and could do nothing as it was hotel policy. Hope Novotel can review its policies on the provision of these amenities.

Right at the foot of Edinburgh Castle, you can see it just by opening the window. The castle is right up the stone steps across the street. Shopping and dining options are also conveniently located nearby.

Great location at Royal Mile. There are many eateries around and Sainsbury's is just below. They offered us to stay in an accessible room. The room and bathroom are slightly more spacious than the standard room so it's just nice we have space to dry our umbrellas (rainy days in Edinburgh). Smooth check in. Water dripping from the aircond. Overlooked that the wash basin is a bit low in an accessible room so a bit tough for tall people. Cold floor, no slippers provided.

Perfect location, offered breakfast and bar as well (though I didn't try), room is large but just a slight issue of the bed. I understand fitting 3 beds is pretty hard, but each level is so short you always bang your head. Overall speaking it's quite good, especially each bed has 2 sockets to use!

The location is indeed great, very close to the station, just up a long flight of stairs. However, the water heater was broken on the day we arrived, but the staff were very proactive and fixed it. On the downside, the soundproofing is poor, and the room isn't very big.

I really enjoyed my four days. Wonderful hotel the team was very friendly and helpful at all times of the day. Great location easy to get to from the Station/airport. Good trams service along Princes Street. Plenty of buses along South Bridge which is a short walk. Enjoyed the spa facilities especially the swimming pool. The lounge near the reception area is a little chilly but a nice spot to relax with a warm drink. Overall a very pleasant stay. Would recommend. Rooms Good size room, fantastic shower and products. Bed was very comfortable. It was a tad cold so I requested a blanket which was very snug. Bonus having a fridge and complimentary water nice touch. Tea/coffee try was good but would be great to have some hot chocolate. Nearby activities Holyrood Palace and gardens on your doorstep along with great views of Arthur Seat. Five minutes walk to the Royal Mile. Food and drinks There is a restaurant and bar in the hotel. I found the food a bit hit and miss to be honest. Breakfast is great with a great choice in food for all palettes. Warm friendly service.

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable, and it is very convenient because it is super in the centre.
