Novotel Edinburgh Centre

We stayed for a week during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The location of the hotel was perfect, near most of the venues but still distant enough to be quiet and allow us to relax. The room was comfortable and very clean, as was the bathroom, although the toiletries were minimum.

Breakfast was a strange thing. Some of the staff were nice, some looked like they were fed up with the guests (which they probably were). The worst thing was that from 10-15 min before breakfast was over they wouldn't restock anything. So you could come for breakfast at 10.20 and not find any more fruit salad, bread, or fried eggs. Every morning there was a surplus of raisin rolls but never enough croissants - if people eat more croissants, why not offer 2 baskets of croissants and only one of raisin rolls, instead of consistently doing the opposite?
