The Pool at Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

"The big one on the bridge It's hefty, it's on North Bridge which could hardly be more central, some rooms have truly fantastic views (ask for one that looks towards Holyrood Park), décor is functional if somewhat corporate and facilities include a fitness suite and pool"

"Recreation is a high point here with a modern fitness center, indoor heated swimming pool, whirlpool and a spa offering a list of treatments plus sauna and steam facilities"

"When you're tired of sightseeing or hitting the shops, there's a health and leisure club with an indoor swimming pool, a gym and treatment rooms"
