Lovely hotel but a ways to go

Recently reopened, it’s very clean and in good shape. Great location for my needs and beautiful, quiet, comfortable room. What shows that it’s been closed for a period of time are the level and quality of service. Restaurant and housekeeping staff are very friendly and earnest although apparently inexperienced. There’s not the same welcoming vibe by the guys at the door and concierge desk that was renowned in years past. Check in was not great as my room wasn’t ready until well after 3pm and then there was some confusion. The food is not up to the standard it was at before it closed and the selection and availability of restaurant hours is reduced. They are clearly trying to get up to speed and we’ll likely give them another go next year.

Lovely hotel, noisy location

Hotel was excellent, staff were very friendly and helpful, parking and hotel felt very secure, great breakfast. Downside was room location, there was very loud music from cultural events playing from the exhibition centre each of the 3 nights, very disappointing as we have a child land we all had problems sleeping before the curfew

A nice hotel but the service has a lot to be desir

Upon check-in we had quite a few problems One of them was down to a very rude stuff member behind the counter. They told us to sit down and wait. When we eventually got our room we found that someone had already been in the room and had left all their possessions in the room we reported this to staff and admittedly they did upgrade us to a better room and gave us executive lounge access which improved our perception of Hilton however we found that the room service was particularly slow especially when ordering food to the room so honestly I don't think we would stay Hilton again based on that experience we paid a significant amount of money for a 3 nights stay. We obviously expected better for a large chain like Hilton it was really disappointing the only positive thing I have to say is that one of the reception staff was very helpful later on in the week.
