Located right at the mouth of the Royal Mile with lots of shopping and dining options all around. The property is undergoing renovation though, with quite unsightly scaffolding across the front facade. Access to the hotel from Waverly station was a nightmare - we had to trudge up a winding road hauling four suitcases; a cab driver refused to take us to the hotel as it is so near! The stafff at the front desk later told us of an alternative route to the station (along Princes road) which made our journey back so much easier. It would be good to inform prospective guests about this route on the hotel website. We’d booked a room for four adults, which was a little tight (two double beds). Next time, we’d probably opt for two rooms instead. Amenities in the room were to usual Hilton standards. The Nespresso machine was a nice touch. More bottled water would have been good too; wee ended up buying our own.

I wouldn’t have opted to stay there had I been aware of the work being done to the property. One of the lifts was out of order. The whole hobby area had temporary walls. Our room had a dangerous, cracked and loose tile in front of the sink.

Disappointing stay, but fabulous location
The hotel is in a fabulous location and has the potential to be grand and impressive but, at the moment is a building site. Check in was disorganised and I was sent away 3 times before my room was ready nearly an hour after check in time. The room was nice, clean and spacious but the bed was not comfortable and every time next door used their bathroom it sounded like the water was flooding through our ceiling! The bar staff were lovely and very helpful but I'm not sure we'll be back.

The hotel was in a great location and it was easy to check in/out. Staff were friendly. The room was good for the price, however the floor was uneven and squeaky. The furniture was cramped in some areas. The walls are quite thin and it was easy to hear conversation of others who were in the rooms next door. There is currently a lot of renovation going on which we were unaware of so if you don’t mind gaps in ceilings and ladders you’ll be ok.

Not Christmassy
It was an over night stay visiting Edinburgh Christmas markets and castle with my sister. The foyer of the hotel was very nicely decorated and the reception staff were pleasant but the rest of the stay wasn’t. The dining room was cold and the bar staff looked liked they’d rather be elsewhere, no Christmas decorations, no Christmas music and certainly no Christmas cheer there. We didn’t eat there because of this and went across the road where the Christmas service was exceptional. Also one of the lifts didn’t have any lights in it. I know they were doing building work in the hotel, but they really could have made some Christmas effort.
