Don't know if it was just our room or what. But our room was a wee bit unclean. Marks on the woodwork, not properly cleaned. There was a protective cover of a razor left on the bathroom floor, a large rip on the net curtain and no bottled water supplied. Our cooked breakfast was very greasy, fried eggs overcooked. Finally there was a mix at the front desk, whilst paying our bill, and we ended up paying for it twice. We are getting refunded, but this should never happen. The standard of this hotel is nowhere near a 4 star.

Hotel's Favourite
This was our first stay with Hilton in Edinburgh. We were not disappointed the staff were very through and attentive considering this was in August just after the first lockdown of 2020. The queue at checking in time was long but went down very quickly as all staff members that were on the main desk explained breakfast etc to each person and made sure the line went down fast. Car parking is at the rear of the hotel and must be paid for and you get an allocated space, we found no problems for parking during our stay. The breakfast was good again considering the hotel did there very best with all the COVID restrictions and safe distances in place. The rooms were all sealed after they had been cleaned (see photos) and everyone of the staff who we spoke to were helpful with all our enquiries and needs. Looking forward to the world getting back to some sense of normality so we can come and stay again with the Hilton chain. …

The stay was okay, the hotel was tired, the designated parking isn’t close by if you have luggage. Checkout was at 12:00, we were made to feel uncomfortable by the lady wanting to clean the room at 11:30, we explained that we needed to transfer the luggage to the car. She then got in the way whilst we were trying to climb the stairs, she then again sat in the way of us moving out of the room. Nice location on a plus point.

The hotel's location is very convenient. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was very quiet and no noise was heard at night. All staff friendly and helpful. We would recommend.

We stayed here just as everything opened after the lockdown and were certainly not disappointed. Check in was easy and the staff friendly. The room was spotless with chocolates and 2 bottles of water left for us. Everything appeared to have been properly sanitised. On our last night when we arrived back after dinner, the bridge works had migrated to outside the hotel and we were expecting to be awake hearing them all night but fortunately we didn’t hear anything. Hotel is in a great location within easy walking distance of the high street, Princes street and other attractions. The restaurant wasn’t open when we went unfortunately but there are plenty of places to eat in Edinburgh.
