Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

Pretty good. Stayed with my son. Great location, close to both the train station and local attractions, making it very convenient. The breakfast had a great variety, and I even got to try Haggis. Good service and nice facilities. Chang'an Noodle House nearby is excellent!

The Hilton Edinburgh Carlton's location is its biggest selling point. It's just a few minutes' walk from Waverley Station and the Royal Mile, making it very convenient for exploring the Old Town and various attractions. However, my recent stay was just okay, and I wouldn't really recommend it. The room assigned by the front desk was located between two corridors, meaning I had to take a long detour and climb a lot of stairs to get to it. This was a real hassle with large luggage. The room itself was also quite small. Overall, I felt there wasn't enough consideration for Chinese travelers. **Additional Tip:** When visiting Edinburgh, you don't necessarily have to stay in the Old Town. Hotels in the New Town or slightly further afield often offer larger rooms and a better experience, and commuting to attractions won't be an issue.

The front desk staff wasn't very friendly to Chinese guests. They gave us the furthest room, and when the air conditioning didn't work, they refused to change our room, only providing an electric heater. Even after multiple attempts by Trip.com to mediate, it was no use. Eventually, I gave up trying to deal with the hotel and just stayed for three days. It was what it was.

The location is fantastic, very central, making it easy to get anywhere. It's surprisingly quiet at night too. There's a lift, so you don't have to lug your luggage, but don't expect any staff to help you with it. The front desk staff seemed more interested in their own conversations and didn't really pay attention to whether you were waiting for them. Service for foreigners is pretty much non-existent. The self-service breakfast was decent and had everything you'd expect.

Very close to the train station and all the attractions, which was super convenient. I only stayed one night this time because I was heading to the Highlands, but I'd definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Laughable! This Hilton sofa bed looks like THIS?! Honestly the worst bed I've ever slept on in the UK. It was 2-3 degrees Celsius outside, and the hotel duvet was paper-thin. The air conditioning/heating barely worked, I was freezing!

The breakfast at this hotel is absolutely delicious, don't miss it – it was probably the best breakfast we had on our entire UK trip. The location is also pretty good. The only issue we had was that we didn't know where the elevator was when we left the train station, which made us walk a long way around. It would be great if the hotel could inform guests about the elevator's location when they're coming from the train station.
