:D!

I did write about this in my post from September 2021. I initially tried a business card which has worked elsewhere, but here you need something a bit thicker and more rigid.

Last year I also stayed at the Hampton Edinburgh where the slot appears to actually read something from the card, as an old Hilton card didn't work and nor did a nectar or bank card.

Sadly not in the rooms I've been in over the past few years. I think so many people tried to open and close them the old fashioned way the mechanism broke. Going back a good few years reception would point out that the curtains were operated by switch, but not any more.

Any recent stays here?

I stayed a few times back in May, but things are broadly as they have for a few years

Deluxe upgrade (though it never shows in the app), drinks vouchers, breakfast and a welcome gift in the room of fudge with the water.

Continental breakfast available from 04:30 on Thursday, but as the main reason we book is because of an atrociously early flight - living locally - didn't even try that.

Fratello's restaurant busy for dinner even mid-week (quite a few local non-flying patrons, I think) - so booking recommended.

Everything else as per S_W_S report. (Vouchers in an envelope with a welcome letter from the GM).

One night stay. Diamond member, with same day booking.
Letter from manager, with introduction and advised of robes, slippers, water and a gift, but sadly none. Not fussed, as only a night.
Was given a complimentary drinks voucher, along with breakfast voucher. Nice enough breakfast, and fried egg made on request.

Room was clean, bed comfy. Nothing startlingly bad, nor amazingly good - just a solid one night stay.

With the Metro being off on the airport branch this week, if I'd have known, I'd probably have just stayed in the Hampton opposite the station.

One night stay last weekend.
Used the digital key option and they delivered the coupons later that night but left in corridor so did not see them until the morning.
Breakfast starts at 0430.
You need the letter from the manager for the free WiFi code so ask if they don't deliver it.

I booked an inclusive breakfast rate but the coupon they gave me was the HHonors Continental only and they would not budge in the restaurant. I could have stolen the hot food but not in my nature.

Large wedding going on but only a little noise in the corridor. Good nights sleep.
No electrical sockets next to bed for phone.

Stayed here 4 times this year.
We choose it because it is a short walk to the terminal in the morning for the first BA flight to LHR. We tend to drive to the airport the night before the flight, drop off bags and I drive to the Long Stay car park (cheaper than an overnight at the hotel and the park and fly option is often more expensive than our option) and then walk back to the hotel, or take the shuttle bus back to the terminal if it's raining/snowing.
The bar and restaurant offer reasonable fare and the staff across the hotel are generally helpful.
On the occasion that we have taken breakfast at the hotel, the hot items have been OK for a Doubletree.
I have been staying here since the place opened (in c 2011/12 I think) and it does a very good job (for us !!) in my view.
In some of the rooms the plug sockets are a little temperamental and in need of repair/replacement but other than that the rooms are in good order.
Hope this helps.
