  The Hilton on North Bridge is miles better than the Grosvenor, even if my stay at the latter was not quite the sh*tshow others here describe, I still don’t think it’s any loss.

    +1. Staff were great at Grosvenor but the rooms need an update. Have not stayed at North Bridge Hilton Carlton but run courses in its function suites and used the restaurant. Definitely worth swapping to if you’re booked into the Grosvenor and you’ll be closer to the action and Waverley Station.

    I think the Grosvenor is a very nice and friendly hotel with a great Scottish breakfast, okay rooms have character and aren’t the sterile boxes that some seem to prefer on here, but that’s because it’s a series of converted townhouses.

    It’s just going to be called ‘Edinburgh Grosvenor’ from now on, not part of a chain, and I know that cos I’m staying here tonight!!

  Among my offers I got this: “Stay at 2 Holiday Inn® hotel(s)—including Holiday Inn Resort® and Holiday Inn Club Vacations®—and earn 5,600 bonus points.”
  Are there any Resorts or Club Vacation places in the UK? Not travelling far for 5600 points!

    Normal Holiday Inn will do. It’s just telling you the resorts and VC’s are included too.

  OT but Hilton related: I’m attending an event at Wembley Stadium and plan to stay overnight at the Hilton next to the stadium.
  I see that they have parking for £15 per 24 hours which is great, but do you know if you can reserve a parking spot in advance? Since this is not hotel-only parking, I’m afraid of the parking being full with non-hotel folks attending the event at the stadium!

    On event days, the Hilton normally charge £40ish… Ive pre-booked it (for less) loads of times when Spurs played there, and never had an issue getting a space.

      Thanks Simon. Did you prebook with the garage the Hilton uses? How do you do that? Call the hotel? Or are there any websites to book parking next to the stadium? Thanks!

        I use yourparkingspace dot etc etc….. hilton and holiday inn let u book a spot. or driveways if not available…. £12.50 I was paying, before they worked out Spurs were playing and blocked it !

    Don’t worry your £15 rate you’re easily get a space in the car parking beside the Hilton Wembley as and event day they charge £90 to park in there you don’t have enough parking privileges though but if you validate your parking ticket at reception you get 24 hours parking for £15

  OT some podivite hotel news: Checked out of Staybridge Suites Dundee this morning after staying a night to complete accelerate. Just opened a few weeks ago so it’s in great shape but they have done an exceptionally nice job on it. Had a large corner suite with three double aspect windows, spacious, good bed and bedding. Bathroom was a spacious shower, decent towels and toiletries, decor was nice throught, staff were very friendly and pleasant. zonly £49 last night booked at 3 days notice. Did not try breakfast but nice vright breakfast area. Coffee and tea machinecavailable round the clock. Ok location for centre and waterfront. Parking very limitted but lots of street parking opportunities. Highly recommend it, especially in current new condition.

    I’m getting sick of these reviews which seems suspiciously like paid reviews by hotel employees.

      unless it’s from a regular contributor!

      • BJ says:

        This is a paid ad for the greatest hotel ever.

    • CV3V says:

      I stayed in the Staybridge a few weeks ago and agree with everything BJ says. On site car parking is expensive, park on the street for free. Those full size bottles of Scottish Fine soaps in the shower were great value!

      My room was on points, and although my Spire status was recognised I was given a room on first floor – which turned out to be into the hill with a room view of a footpath, as in the top of the footpath and peoples feet!

    That’s cos there are more hotels in Dundee than people to fill them, five opened in past year because of new empty V&A. Soon to be empty hotels but while they are open there are Aberdeen style prices to be had.

  BREAKING: just received an email from BA. They are about to devalue partner redemptions on 30 May.
