Great location. My husband, daughter and I really liked the spacious room. Our room had a king sized bed and a sofa bed and yet it didn’t feel cramped when the sofa was made into a bed. Very comfortable.

Overal we were ok There were no toiletries, no slippers or ropes in the room which was not expected for a Hilton hotel. Also the room didn’t smell good it was more like smoking that none smoke room. The staff were great. Beatkfast was ok but not the best.

I was disappointed not to be informed the hotel was going through a major renovation. The gorgeous entrance and stair case has gone. The main entrance is very underwhelming and felt like arriving in the back entrance. The customer stairwells are like a multi story car park. The whole hotel was very hot, the air con was not affective. Staff looked miserable and we waited 15 minutes in an ever growing queue just to be seated for breakfast. I’m afraid I wouldn’t book here again. There are a number of alternative options in the area that supersede the Hilton Carlton .

This would be a great hotel but the staff don't seem interested in the guests at all. With all the in and out we did on our visit only once were we greeted when entering. With the hotel under construction a helpful staff would have been more than welcome. For the same price stay elsewhere.
