“Novotel Edinburgh Centre strikes me as a practical choice for families eager to explore Edinburgh's main attractions; I note its proximity to Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. The heated indoor pool and family-friendly amenities stand out, though some reports mention inconsistent housekeeping and room upkeep. In my view, it balances convenience with some trade-offs in service consistency.”
