"Excellent & Safe"

2026-02-09

As a solo traveler, this is an excellent hotel. I felt very safe coming and going very early to late in the evening. The rooms, amenities & hotel lobby are very clean and well kept. The location is centrally located on the Royal Mile so it's convenient to walk to all of the sights in Old Town within minutes and about a 6-7 minute walk to all the bus tour starting points at Waterloo. It's also only about a 5 minute walk from Waverly Station where the Airlink Airport Bus Shuttle drops/picks you up for the 30 min ride. The hotel staff is very friendly, welcoming and willing to answer all the touristy questions. Again, the location is GREAT. Sites, great food, pubs & live music are literally all around the hotel. The pick up for the day trips to the highlands is also about 100-150 yards up the street.

"A warm greeting at The Radisson, Edinburgh"

2026-02-08

Me and my husband stayed at The Radisson, Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. We were warmly greeted by Natasha and Zoey. These young ladies are an absolute credit to the hotel. They even remembered us from a stay two months prior to this one. They were very helpful and we had a good laugh with them. It makes such a difference to be greeted in this manner and really sets the tone for your stay. Our room was lovely and had everything you could need for a short stay, including plenty of storage. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was excellent. We had breakfast but unfortunately this had not improved since our last stay. The bacon was desperately undercooked and other items seemed of poor quality. Also little room to put your plate down as you lift the lids on everything. This is such a shame as everything else about this hotel is wonderful. This would not put us off returning as it’s the only hotel we would want to stay in Edinburgh, but would forego breakfast.

"Short break"

2026-02-08

This is a lovely hotel in a good location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are light and airy with comfortable beds, plenty of lights, and very clean. The en-suite had a bath as well as a great shower. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, I did think at the price a biscuit or two would have been nice but you did get complementary bottled water. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We shall definitely come here again.
