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’

Zero Hospitality
The assistant night manager was extremely dismissive and curt with us. We did not feel welcome at this hotel, for the price I will NEVER stay with Hilton again.

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.

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.

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.
