We stayed at the hotel for one night as we were going to St Giles Cathedral for a candlelit concert and the trains were on strike so it would’ve taken a long time to get home. Great room, nice view, and small but tranquil swimming pool that we swam in on arrival and before breakfast the next day. Very relaxing ☺️

I loved my stay at the Radisson Blu. Rooms were clean and well equipped. The best part of the hotel is the front desk staff. Each member took the time to help us with our stay , from helping to decide on a whiskey to bring home, to guiding us to the local area everyone we interacted with was great! The neighborhood is perfect and near all sites or transportation to them!

The location was right on the Royal Mile close to tourist attractions, restaurants and shopping. It is within walking distance to the Waverly train station and other transportation out of the city. The staff was helpful and friendly. The security was good as well.

Upon entering the hotel by the Manager , who was quite rude. We are very excited to come to the city and speak greeted poorly was quite sad. The rooms were average, And the Bathroom was tiny. Clean beds great bedding we luckily were at a room that turned inside facing other rooms so it was quiet. The breakfast area was standard self-serve. The other staff at the hotel were lovely, but the manager, as I said before was miserable, we will never be staying at this Radisson again, and I have stayed across the world .

I was told I could book breakfast at the front desk more cheaply than at the restaurant, and I did that one day. Another day they didn’t allow it. Otherwise, the staff was wonderful, the room was roomy and clean and the bed was comfortable. It was close to everything, too. I’d stay here again.

Convenient and comfortable
This is a fantasticly convenient place to stay in Edinburgh-you can walk everywhere But the best thi about this here is the incredible service at reception, concierge and in the restaurant -kind, welcoming friendly and so helpful - The rooms are clean and the beds large and comfortable-truthfully the hallways and common areas could do with a good scrub and deodorising but the convenience and great people outweigh that ! Thank you particularly to CALLUN and the reception team x

Perfectly located & comfy hotel on the Royal Mile
This hotel was perfectly located. It is right on the central bit of the Royal Mile, close to the train station and a million things to do. It is a busy area and the hotel did provide ear plugs in our room, but even with a nightclub outside my bedroom window (I was on the 2nd floor) I didn’t need them. The double windows kept out any street sound. The staff were super helpful, especially at check in when they couldn’t find my reservation at first, which I think was a Hotels.com glitch, not the fault of the hotel itself. (We arrived on Sunday, and on Monday afternoon I got a notification from the Hotels.com app: “Get ready for your stay in Edinburgh!” Thought, “that’s concerning” and tapped on it and the app correctly showed that our stay started on Sunday, but it was weird.)
