Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End is praised for its great location, allowing for a pleasant walk to Princes Street in about 10 minutes and the castle and city center within 15 minutes. Guests appreciate the modern and clean rooms, with some specifically mentioning how spacious and well-equipped they are, including the bathrooms with great showers; breakfast is a highlight with a wide choice of options. Though some found the choice of places to eat nearby a little limited without walking further, the hotel is close to a Tesco and some have recommended the Lebanese restaurant next door. Discounted parking is available, making it easy to get around, however, the hotel car park may be full.

the staff were very lovely. discount parking was available with a validated ticket. it made getting to murrayfield easy.

i found some issues . the room seemed to let in too much light from the corridor at night. the mattress was hard and sat on a solid wooden base, and that really impacted my sleep. it wasn't the relaxing stay i had hoped for.
