Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hampton by Hilton Edinburgh West End is often praised for its convenient location, a short walk from Haymarket station and within easy reach of the city center; some guests mention a 20-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle. Guests appreciate the clean, modern rooms, equipped with separate shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, along with in-room safes. Many enjoy the varied breakfast, including options like strawberry waffles and vegetarian haggis; however, a few guests have noted that the breakfast can be subpar. The Sofias Lounge Lebanese restaurant located within the hotel is also frequently mentioned as a fantastic dining option.

The staff was helpful during my weekend visit. The room offered separate shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. A safe was available in the room (which I always appreciate).

The breakfast space was very busy. The breakfast spread was quite average. The check-in process could be more professional.
