Good location, but hotel should inform customers of having events on!! As I’ve wasted money on a hotel and got no sleep
Pros:

Location was ok and room was reasonably clean

Cons:

Loud music and people talking from a party that went on til 1 am, the room was also extremely hot even with air conditioning on its lowest setting! Literally had no sleep as I was up all through the night and eventually up at 5 as couldn’t get back to sleep!!!

Pros:

Tesisi asla beğenmedim

Cons:

Hilton demeye 1000 şait ister . Hayal kırıklığı oldu . Ncp ile anlaşmaları olduğu için arabamızı oraya park ettik fakat aşırı pis kokudan bize işkence oldu . Aynı zamanda gece gelen bir grup sabaha kadar ses yaptı .

worst Hilton I've ever been
Pros:

nothing

Cons:

terrible service, worst Hilton I've ever been. The hotel was really old. The vanity mirror in the room was broken. There was one inch of dust on certain bits like the shower screen. The mugs at breakfast were dirty, once I've asked the stuff to kindly change it, and she just looked at me and said, "Seriously?" Whenever we called reception, they never answer. Literally never answered for the entire stay. Absolutely terrible

Relaxing, cultural, fun family time.
Pros:

Great location, castle, park, galleries, shops.
The breakfast was generous and the staff were exceptional.

Cons:

The mix up between booking .com and the hotel.
The lists were very busy at times and we had to wait quite a while.
We had to pay £5 each to use the pool.

Pros:

Location by castle and proximity to other things in the city.
Quality of breakfast and ability to make healthy choices.
Guest of the day is a lovely touch if you're lucky enough ti get it.
Pool was a lovely temperature and the sauna, steam, jacuzzi was lovely.
Very well stocked gym for a good work out.

Cons:

We did get our use of pool included in our stay but it's obviously unusual as we had to clarify when we went to the pool. For others who might be paying hotel guests but also then have to pay for the pool that would have been annoying. Hotel guests she have all facilities included.
