A weekend at the Radisson on the Royal Mile proved to be pretty good value. Having stayed with the same chain in Brussels we were not expecting buckets of charm or style, but for the price, booked on-line, you get a clean, decently sized, fully-functioning room/bathroom, prompt service and a great location. I cannot comment on breakfast - we opted to take this elsewhere rather than stump up the extra. Solidly built and well-insulated, you are spared the noise of late-night carousing in the streets outside if you wish.
There is a taxi-rank directly outside the hotel, and it is close to the main artery to and from the New Town, making transport between very easy. Check-in and -out were, respectively, generously early and late, allowing us to maximise our time in this terrific city.
It may be bland, but the Radisson delivers the essentials for a perfectly fair price and will no doubt see us returning.
