Great location, good value
Pros:

We appreciated our stay at the Novotel. The location was great -- close to the Grassmarket and many pubs/cafes, and an easy walk to the tram. Our kids loved the pool. We saved some money by eating at the cafes in the area/getting breakfast to go from Sainsbury's around the corner rather than paying for the breakfast.

Bardzo udany city break w Edynburgu
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja - rzut kamieniem do historycznych atrakcji centrum Edynburga. Łatwa dostępność środków komunikacji miejskiej. basen jest miłym dodatkiem. Dobre śniadania.

Cons:

Pokój był na 4 osoby nieco mały. Brak klimatyzacji - przy 19 stopniach na zewnątrz i słonecznym dniu było strasznie gorąco.
