  • I would have given 5 points for value but the choice of food was very disappointing and limited. We didn’t get a twin room as booked. (Devonian-lady)

  • "Never dissapointed with Radisson"

  • We went to Radisson in Helsinki and Dubrovnik, so this was a third from this hotel chain and certainly not the last one. Great location, great service. Receptionist James was really helpful! Would recommend to anyone who stays in capital of Scotland, we have stayed for Christmas market!

  • "Perfect location, comfortable modern hotel with parking"

  • Decided to change our booking for Edinburgh and chose the Radisson over another well known chain. We are very happy with the decision. The Radisson Blu is ideally placed for the Royal Mile, Castle, Holyrood, the National Museum and only 15 minutes walk to the National Galleries. We chose a superior twin room. At reception they realised that twin request had not come through but the helpful team immediately arranged for housekeeping to split the bed. By the time we collected our luggage from the attached car park the beds were ready. Our room was at the back, 2nd floor. Very quiet, comfortable, with a large clear flat screen TV, minibar, tea/coffee facilities and bottled water. Effective shower over bath. Very clean, and felt modern. The car park is 15.00 per day for hotel guests, and we had no problem finding a space on the upper floors. the access is tight so go careful, but I felt our car was safe for the 2 days we left it. There is a lift direct from the car park to the guest room floors, so if parking there, suggest you check in first then collect your luggage from you car. We will definitely be using the Radisson Blu on our next stay in Edinburgh.

  • "Edinburgh Overnight"

  • Excellent location if your'e looking for something right in the middle of the city, though if you're looking for something a little quieter you probably want to look off The Royal Mile. Excellent staff and service. Modernized rooms were very comfortable though the bathrooms showed a little wear and tear. Price is reflective of the hotel's location. Easy transfers from the train station and to/from the airport.

  • "Nice hotel on the Royal Mile"

  • A good experience. Nice room and very good restaurant. If you want afternoon tea make sure to make a reservation the day before. Our room faced the pubs but you don’t hear much noise. It didn’t bother us. I’ve stayed here before and had a room on the other side of the hotel which is a little quieter. Take advantage of concierge to get tickets. We could not get tickets online for the castle but the hotel could do it for us because they have slots set aside for their patrons.

  • Stranded in Edinburgh centre outside the hotel after leaving mobile phone with all travel docs on it in an Uber. Huge panic didn’t know what to do or where to go. ‘Lost’ so went into hotel. Person at reception really helpful, let me use their phone and put me in touch with Uber. Wasn’t staying there, they were just very helpful. Eventually got phone back. Big big thanks, things like this enhance the Blu brand massively. I’ll definitely use these hotels in the future. Sorry I didn’t get the name of the person who helped but thanks again whoever you are!
