Love how big the bedroom size was especially where the hotel was located. The staff were very helpful and polite. The bathroom that we used could be better (ie toilet and the shower area). It would have been very nice and helpful if there was more information about transportation and parking around the area on the website. Over all I would use this services again, if need be. And thanks for having us.

The location is perfect, but unfortunately, the surrounding area has construction, which is often loud. The hotel itself has construction on it. The staff was polite and helpful. The room was clean.

Disappointed in the Hilton having stayed before

Booked as a Xmas present, have stayed before and was extremely disappointed. Had to move rooms because theee was a foul smell from the first room, think it was the drains. Windows in the room were filthy. Renovations being done to the elevators and scaffolding outside so overall the hotel looked like it was in need of a lot of repairs, the rooms are expensive - I think it’s unfair to charge these prices when you don’t get the usual Hilton experience. Ordered poached eggs for breakfast and they were cold. Won’t be back’

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.

A little disappointed

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.
