Overall
7.6(2714)5/10 Disappointed as I had stayed before and it was nothing like previous visits
I had stayed here before on 2 previous occasions which is why I chose this hotel again.
I was very disappointed as it was nothing like I had experienced before

7/10 Overall, a pleasant stay, maybe wait till the building works are done though.
Our room was lovely, very spacious and a big walk in shower. The staff were so polite and very welcoming.

4/10 Disappointed
Not sure about the 5 star reviews, but Alice Feb 25 has it right. Difficult to find for a first time visitor behind extensive scaffolding, additional exterior signage is not difficult to add and would help. The ground floor is extensively boarded up and nothing like the photos the hotel uses, it’s a shame the hotel do not advise guests of this after 2 years. Boarding up continues on other floor levels. Internal signage is poor, found it difficult to locate the restaurant.
Tiny lifts and long queues at times
Room was generally clean but needs updating. Showers not particularly strong. Some staff members helpful others not so.
Good location, good choice at breakfast but at £27.50 each it should be.

10/10 Great Location, Huge Room
Perfect location. Right off the Royal Mile, we never had more than a 5 minute walk to the main attractions. Room was huge, beds were comfy, breakfast was yummy. It was the perfect spot for our few days in Edinburgh. Just be aware if you arrive at the Edinburgh train station, the hotel is basically right on top, but you have to either climb a lot of stairs, or do about a 7-10 minute walk around to get there.

7/10 Hilton overview
The location was fantastic. I used the gym which I felt was a really good addition and had great equipment. Breakfast was very good too with a huge variety.

4/10 Great location - but no ambiance
Location is amazing !
It is on the North Bridge which means that the hotel is very close to both the old town and the new town.
That is really the best thing about this hotel.

6/10 Nice stay in Edinburgh
Location is good, near train station and close to main areas of interest. Staff very polite and helpful. Unfortunately during our stay there was scaffolding up and we were woken up very early by workmen. Lots of choices for breakfast although the cooked food let it down for us as on both mornings it all was cold.

Nice hotel, the staff were all very friendly - Dijlah in particular was great. The breakfast was great! The rooms were clean. We ate out nearby but wished we’d had dinner in the restaurant or room service instead. Would stay again. Thank you!
