Edinburgh Hotels with Pools

We stayed as a family of 4 in the family room the night before my husbands 40th Birthday. There was a cake and decorations in the room on arrival and we had the most stunning view of the castle! We used the pool and then out for dinner in Edinburgh at night. We enjoyed the hotel breakfast the following morning. Overall we loved it and will hopefully make it a yearly tradition.

Located perfectly for visiting Edinburgh, staff warm, welcoming and helpful. The suite we stayed in was beautiful, spacious and clean. Breakfast was ok, busy and chaotic at times. Perhaps a little more organising and quicker clearing of tables would help. The range of food was good. Ordering toast was a bit slow and you’d eaten your breakfast by the time it was delivered to your table. Beware of the service charge/ we weren’t aware of the service charge beforehand and had paid our hotel booking when we checked in. We were totally shocked when we received a large bill when checking out and our mini bar bill was minimal. An unexpected bill for £300…. Although discretionary, made us feel uncomfortable saying we didn’t want to pay it. If I’m honest it was a disappointment to us as it was the last dealing we had when leaving the hotel.

After staying in a number of hotels in Edinburgh, Novotel Edinburgh Park is definitely of highest quality in this price range. The location is perfect if you are working outside of the city but want to still experience the city centre at night. Edinburgh Park train station and tram stop are very close to the hotel with frequent services to neighbouring towns and Waverley station (city centre). The train is quickest to Waverley at only 9 mins and costs as little as £2.70 at super off peak times for a return ticket. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. There are hundreds of channels on the 55” TVs. The beds are comfy and there is a temperature regulator fan (not air conditioning). The bathrooms are clean and well furnished. Executive rooms get some more toiletries than standard rooms. Some rooms have baths and some have stand-in showers. (Maybe you can note your preference when booking) Breakfast is definitely worth paying for. There’s a huge selection of food options, something for everyone. Hot food and continental style breakfast is offered and is a buffet style. The restaurant is large but can be very busy in the evenings. Car parking is offered at a member rate (Accor ALL account holders) of £6 per day. I would rate the hotel very highly, after staying here a number of times over the past few months and with more bookings in the not so distant future. I look forward to returning!

Our assessment of our 3 night stay at the Waldorf was mixed. The hotel was very nice and as a Diamond member we were upgraded to a castle view room. The complimentary breakfast was very good and the front desk staff were generally helpful. We did have a problem one night with the light fixture leaking water from the ceiling. This may have been due to a rainstorm one night and staff brought a bucket to catch the leaking water. The biggest problem, however, occurred after checkout. At the time of checkout I was told that the hotel printer wasn’t working so they would email me my receipt. Since all 3 nights were paid for with HH points I asked if there was a zero balance and was told yes. Later that day I received the final bill and was charged over $1,000 on my credit card for all three nights. I immediately called the hotel and was told by in house reservations staff that my reservation had been cancelled when I didn’t show up. I reminded them that we had been staying with them the last 3 nights and had no problem at checkin on the scheduled day. In fact I confirmed our arrival time several hours before checkin. So they didn’t know what the problem was but would talk to the reservations manager when they were free. In the meantime I called the Hilton diamond desk and again was told that someone had cancelled my stay with points and it had been rebooked by someone as a cash stay and they were not sure what the problem was. My points had even been put back onto my account by someone. By now I am a bit irritated. I finally receive a call back from the hotel reservation manager who tells me that the Waldorf had a computer glitch on our arrival date and that all hotel reservations had been cancelled and had to be manually reentered by hotel staff. However, Hilton hotels have no way to make reservations using points so they made them as a cash payment. Thereby the $1,000 bill. Now glitches are bound to occur sometimes. However, all of this angst could have been avoided by telling me at checkin about the problem and I could have immediately rebooked the room using points while standing at the front desk. The hotel did ultimately reverse the charges and apologize. However. this shouldn’t happen at a property like the Waldorf.

This was our second stay at the Radisson Blu Royal Mile hotel, and it was equally as good as the first. All the staff we dealt with were excellent. We made use of the car park, pool, room service and breakfast. All were brilliant. The Christmas gifts for our wee one on arrival was a nice touch and greatly appreciated. Thanks again, hopefully see you again soon.

Well, what a cheerful and helpful reception staff, indeed all staff happy and enjoying the job! Great to see. 1 night stop but the hotel was cool trendy and modern. Spotless clean, quiet rooms gave a great night sleep in a comfy large bed. Shower, monsoon style, washed the dreams away and off to a decent breakfast (sausage a touch bland). Subterranean swimming and spa looked fantastic and the bar was great with quirky pool cue seating. Car park tight and only 15 slots so not easy. Other than that, yes I would come back.

Facilities: Very good Hygiene: Feeling Environment: Very satisfied Service: Satisfied Conditions are quite comfortable. The address is in the city center. It is very convenient to go anywhere. The elevator can go directly to the train station. Calton Hill is right next to it. It is quite cost-effective.

My expectations weren't very high but I was pleasantly surprised! The hotel smelt amazing & the reception staff were welcoming & friendly. One of the reception staff helped me zip up my dress as I couldn't reach & went out of her way to help me. Breakfast was awesome & checking out was super straight forward. I would recommend in a heartbeat!

I recently stayed at this hotel for 7 days. During that time the staff was so gracious and helpful. One person in particular stands out. David Brown, one of the concierge was EXTREMELY helpful with whatever we needed....as an example, the day we were leaving on the train from Waverly the weather was very stormy. We had heard that some trains might be cancelled. David took the time to look up the issues with the trains and was very reassuring that since we were headed south we would be okay. I wanted to thank him publicly for his very kind assistance during our visit. THANK YOU DAVID!

This hotel bears no relation to the previous Edinburgh Marriot it may have a new carpet and paint but it's a disappointing experience , the staff lack experience and customer focus many of the customer service have been deleted . We booked a suite the TV would not accommodate a firestick to watch Netflix and the bathroom was shabby and the room could do with a proper clean bathrobes supposedly supplied were missing when we complained we were given one grubby replacement instead of two . Breakfast was fine and a good choice was available, we stayed frequently at the Edinburgh Marriot and sadly we will not return as Delta have obviously cut costs and deleted the customer focus that made you forget about the rough edges .
