I stayed here for a long weekend with my husband in early May. It was fantastic, location was so central, we walked everywhere. Hotel was spotless, staff very helpful, view amazing.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing for a wonderful stay in Edinburgh.

This hotel is superbly located on the Royal Mile, within walking distance of the castle at one end and Holyroodhouse at the other. Waverley station is also a five minute walk away.

My wife and I were on honeymoon and we were delighted to find a bottle of complimentary champagne waiting for us. The room was a good size and at the back of the hotel so very quiet. My only real moan about the room is the same as that of another recent poster, that there is only one comfy chair on which to sit down. Otherwise the room was clean, well-equipped and tastefully furnished. Whenever we had a problem or a question we were dealt with immediately. The service was excellent.

We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel and the restaurant was closed during our stay but we were impressed all round by this superb hotel and would definitely return.

  • Liked — Location and emphasis on service
  • Disliked — A bit more attention to details wouldn't go amiss

We were booked at the Radisson for a conference. My husband worked all day and I got to play.

The location is perfect. Just down the hill from the castle and just up the hill from Hollyrood. In addition, Prince Street, the train station and other attractions are about a 10 minute walk. I hired a taxi once because I didn't know how far it was. I was embarrassed when he literally dropped me off a few minutes later.

The room was decent. Comfy bed, great shower, TV, etc. The only dings were we "paid" for a "superior" room and got a standard. The hotel was nice enough to reduce the charges to the standard rate... The room also does not have an alarm clock which was just annoying. The decorations on the beds made me think of placemats and I'm sure I annoyed the maid by trying to hide them every day.

The client services desk was polite and always helpful. Especially useful since the airline lost my luggage... They booked us reservations, were polite with their directions and gave great information on where to go in their city.

I was quite pleased with the experience and would recommend this hotel.

This hotel was a very good example of a large hotel and as good as any hotel I think you will find in Scotland.

We stayed here for 1 night on our way to a wedding. The hotel room was large and the location was perfect, right on the Royal Mile and just a quick walk down to the shopping strip.

We had friends staying at a different hotel in Edinburgh and they were jealous of where we were staying.

2/2 found this review helpful

Spent 2 days at hotel it's in a perfect position in the centre so everything is easy to get to, has its own underground car park which at £8.50 at night is good as most hotels charge £20. We paid £115 for the 2 of us on BB and the rest via airmiles, though i would happily pay the full price. The rooms (like the hotel itself) are very well maintained, contemporary with a massive bed, if you do not like the pillows provided there are 3 other types to choose from, if the beds too hard they will supply a mattrass topper, if its too soft then bed boards i have never come across that in a hotel before and was well impressed although we didnt need to change anything as it was all perfect. Tea & coffee faclilities etc, free safe, lovely quality toiletries, bath sheets as opposed to skimpy bath towels, superb powerful and hot shower. Large flat screen tv with a good selection including sky sports 1, 2 & 3 if you like those. I only have 2 (not really important) 'niggles' besides the dressing table stool there was only 1 chair to relax in which was a shame as the room was large enough to fit 2 with still plenty of room left & there were no drawers just 2 shelves in the wardrobe, as i said not really anything to really moan about . Didnt use the leisure club but it looked really nice, didn't use the bar either as ate & drank out (it was £3.85 for a beer, £6.00 for a large glass of wine so usual hotel prices). The breakfast was excellent, full english/scottish other food kippers, porridge etc made to order (included in price), the continental included meats, cheeses salad, coissants, different breads & pastries, yoghurts probiotic drinks, fresh fruit much more that the usual english 'continental' we ate that much we didn't need anything until the evening, they charge £15.50 if room only but it is definatly worth having. Unfortunatly the breakfast room was being refurbished so i cannot say what it looked like as we were in a conference room, but they had styled that to look as much like a resauraunt as possible and there was a kitchen next to it so all food hot. We shall definatly stay at the hotel again, our last visit was at the Carlton just by it, we had a superior room and it along with other things/manager it was dreadful, totally lacking in quality & customer relations, i think my husband summed the Radisson up when he said everything they do is of the highest quality and we are both hard to please. I recommend the Radisson to all age groups.
