It’s meh, nothing too bad, nothing too good.
Firstly, great location! Perfect for Fringe which is why we were there. So easy to walk to fringe venues from the hotel. Maybe next year the hotel will be better? Right now it’s basically a construction zone. The whole building is covered in scaffolding and reception (or what’s left of reception) is boarded up. Little deceitful of the hotel to not advise that they are undergoing renovations as I wouldn’t have stayed and definitely would have picked somewhere else. Staff need a lesson in customer service when it comes to public areas and elevators though. When your hotel only has 2 working elevator, as the 3rd is boarded up, when a guest comes to the elevators, guests go first no matter what. This doesn’t seem to apply here. Guests can wait. Room was comfortable, housekeeping a bit rubbish. They do the bare minimum to get by, Need to have a process in place to check floors more often, especially if the rooms are way in the back like mine was. Don’t enjoy the stink of spaghetti bolognaise being left in the corridors from lunch until late when I get back. It was ok. It was a bed in a great location. Would I stay here again? Probably not.

Overal we were ok There were no toiletries, no slippers or ropes in the room which was not expected for a Hilton hotel. Also the room didn’t smell good it was more like smoking that none smoke room. The staff were great. Beatkfast was ok but not the best.

I was disappointed not to be informed the hotel was going through a major renovation. The gorgeous entrance and stair case has gone. The main entrance is very underwhelming and felt like arriving in the back entrance. The customer stairwells are like a multi story car park. The whole hotel was very hot, the air con was not affective. Staff looked miserable and we waited 15 minutes in an ever growing queue just to be seated for breakfast. I’m afraid I wouldn’t book here again. There are a number of alternative options in the area that supersede the Hilton Carlton .
