Great location

Lovely hotel with friendly staff in a good location for the sights and shopping. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The lifts were a bit slow, but this seems to be the case for all Hiltons globally!

Big disappointment!

The hotel has a superb location, BUT thats where the plusses stop. Staff is unhelpful and none responsive to requests/issues raised. The rooms are run down, and the beds sinking on the sides. Room amenities are basic and just meet 4 star requirements. This hotel is NOT 4 stars, nor close to the Hilton international standard.

I absolutely love the location of this property. It is located just off the royal mile as well as close to the waverly train station. My only complaints would be about the street construction going on in front of the hotel which made it a bit difficult for airport transfers but that is of no fault of the hotel property. The hotel bar was a little lacking for variety of alcohols available and lack of ambiance for a bar setting. We mostly went off property for a drink because of this. Overall though I loved the hotel and would absolutely stay again!

There is some kind of maintenance going on at the road and the area around. It’s not very convenient at the time I visited. The property is clean and the housekeeping lady was good.

First time in Edinburgh! Very impressive hotel in perfect location : close to Waverley Train Station, Royal Mile, and everything one can wish for. Perfect suite for a family of three adults! Highly recommend it. Current construction outside may affect its appeal but it’s the inside facilities that matters.

Staff and hotel were excellent. We did not eat there as there was so many other choices. Outside area was under construction limiting access and creating noise during the day. It was quiet in the evening. Staff arranged at 3:00 AM cab for us which was a big help
