Edinburgh Hotels with Swimming Pools

Great location next door to the zoo. Ten minutes walk to local amenities and several buses directly to the city centre. Lovely bar/restaurant with pool table etc for kids, also lovely views. Lovely sunrise if your room is east facing. Very knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming staff.

The room was too small, and most importantly, it was far from the description given by Ctrip when I booked. Picture 1 shows the room type picture and description (area 36) on Ctrip when I booked, which made people full of expectations for this room type. But Ctrip was very smart and soon changed the misleading picture of this room type. Fortunately, I took a screenshot. Picture 2 shows the room type I got (the window of the room I actually got was much smaller than this one, the room was very dark, the position of the chair was replaced by a folding bed, and the chair and the lamp were stuffed in the corner). The whole room was densely packed with a 1.5-meter bed + a folding bed + a wardrobe. There was no place to put my feet. The bathroom was so small that I would be hit when I opened the door while sitting on the toilet. It was definitely not more than 30 square meters. And I paid nearly 500 pounds per night for this room type. I can only say that the cost performance is extremely low. The hotel itself: except for the small room and the poor lighting and ventilation of the old building (which may be a common problem of Edinburgh hotels), everything else is pretty good, the facilities are very new, every staff is very enthusiastic, the public area is very cozy, and the interior decoration is also very stylish; at first I thought the breakfast had few choices and tasted bland, but later I compared it with every hotel I stayed in during the trip (including Rosewood in London), and Kimpton's breakfast was actually pretty good... Summary: If you don't mind the lighting and ventilation of the room, and can accept this price to live in a small room with a little artistic atmosphere, you can stay there. I don't recommend it for families with children.

We recently stayed at Novotel Edinburgh for our first wedding anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so special, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. The room was spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, with a stunning view of the city. The hotel even surprised us with a lovely anniversary treat, which was such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious options. The location was ideal—close to all the main attractions, yet peaceful enough for a relaxing stay. We also enjoyed the hotel’s facilities, especially the pool and bar area, which added to the overall luxury of our trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary. Thank you, Novotel Edinburgh, for making our special occasion truly memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

Nice heritage hotel. Nicely located closely every attractions and train station. Didn't try the food but close to st james quarter with lots of good eating options. Enjoyed the stay here and was easy to walk to the train station and drop the car rental. Thanks

Hotel has a very good location, if you travel by tram. It’s basically on the way from airport to city centre, 3-minute walk from tram stop. Room was alright, spacious and with a good view. Cleanliness was acceptable though it had a dog smell on the sofa, carpet and in the toilet, quite unpleasant. Spa zone downstairs is amazing, wonderful jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, enjoyed it all. Gym also looks nice. Many shops and even restaurants are in a walking distance, very convenient. Hotel staff are all very friendly and helpful.

Amazing location, very easy to find. Great sorounding. Excellent customer service and people. Thank you all.

Beaware of which level of your room is. The elevator doesn’t reach at the lowest level. If you carry a heavy luggage, you’d better ask for higher levels. Staff didn’t help me to change my room before check in. They do favor for themselves not yours. No customer service thinking, management or mindset to the receptionists. I cancelled my last 2 days stay as the elevator issue doesn’t match with the descriptions. Not a good holiday experience as I urged to find a new place immediately, and more importantly, wasted lots of time to deal with the cancellation.

Overnight stay in central Edinburgh. Perfect location. Loved it! The view of the castle from our window - wow! Would defo come back. All staff really nice and helpful. Lovely swim before we left!

The hotel pillows had mold spots when turned over... The check-in time was 3 o'clock but they said it was not cleaned. I waited for another 40 minutes and asked but it was still not cleaned. In the end, I could only be given a cleaned room but without a view. No one took the initiative to help with the luggage. I called the front desk three times before it got through... Although I was later given a new room, the overall experience was still not good.

The location is very good. Amenities, room and food like snacks and breakfast buffets are nice. There was a hotel carpark, which was convenient to those driving to Edinburgh. Will book this hotel again if visit Edinburgh further.
