"Great location in the ‘new town’ close enough to walk to all main attractions. The room was clean and modern, however we booked the family studio which included a sofa bed that was really only a single and needed to accommodate a 13 and 16 year old. This was way too small which caused a few issues."

Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous hotel. Amazing location and we were lucky that our room looked out over the Royal Mile! Incredibly comfy beds, helpful staff and amazing breakfast. Only minus points would be that the headboards were a bit worn and there was no hairdryer. "
