Wish the website had updated info

Our stay was ok, what would have been nice is to have more detail on the website. The hotel exterior was under renovation If you have a car, parking is quite away from the hotel and will cost 30$ per day. The view out or window was where pigeons collect and has poop all over the place and it’s very noisy!

There seemed to be a lot of potential. The concierge was amazing, friendly, and helpful. My main concern was all the construction out front. It was very noisy when you exited the building and there was scaffolding blocking the view from our room. The rooms were clean and what you would expect from Hilton. The location was excellent very centered around nearly all attractions. If I were to come again, I'd stay in a quieter area in a hotel not under going renovations.

The property is heavily under construction, which was not disclosed. Extremely loud work started at 8am and sometimes even before that. 1 of the 2 elevators was out of service for almost our entire stay, requiring us to walk up flights of stairs to return to our room. There was no area of the hotel that was untouched by the “under construction” dust, smell, sound and plaster. The executive lounge was pretty sad and not very executive. I would not recommend staying here until the construction is done. The location is great, but unless you enjoy staying in a hard hat zone, pick somewhere else.

Stayed in August at the time of the Fringe, Tattoo, and Oasis Concert- so a very busy time with lots of street performers and tourists. From USA traveling with 2 teens and 2 adults. The Good- warm greeting, helpful staff, super clean facility, wonderful expansive breakfast buffet (included), bath products available in room, fridge in room, location to royal mile and princes street. If you want a walkable visit- the location was fantastic and the streets really cleared out before 10 am or after about 9/10 pm- so it was nice to walk about then too- which was possible because of the proximity to the hotel. The bad- scaffolding over building and north bridge construction was not a great fit for the beautiful city and made a crowded walkway extremely tight. It also made negotiating the street crossing a challenge. At one time they were down 2/3 lifts- but they had one fixed quickly (not even a full day). The lobby area is very small and there were people sitting with their luggage making it even tighter (at times). If you use the train or tram, you will have a 5-10 minute walk to and fro (not really bad- just FYI)

The hotel is undergoing remodeling and the entire front of the hotel is covered by scaffolding. Temporary walls have been constructed inside as well. Although the staff was accommodating and the location was great it’s hard to get past the construction while We were vacationing. I believe we should have been advised of the remodeling which would have affected our decision to stay or not.

Beds comfortable, dinning great, love happy hour, would like breakfast during the week to be open earlier since we did day tours outside of city. Lobby was terrible, no coffee bar to take on the go and no trash receptacles inside or out. Could not get breakfast in our room. Staff was great and welcoming.
