We stay here when we are at the Edinburgh Fringe. Very expensive but great location on the Royal Mile and near the station. Rooms are quiet if you avoid those that face the main street. At this price point, compared to similar hotels round the world the breakfast is underwhelming.

Great Hotel in Great Location on Royal Mile

Excellent hotel in a brilliant location, situated right on the Royal Mile. Checkin was busy but very quick and eficient. Hotel had overlooked request for twin beds but this was promptly rectified by housekeeping. Decent sized room spotlessly clean with full bath, overhead shower and ample soaps etc. Room was very quiet, breakfast was excelent.

Decent Hotel

The hotel is a decent hotel. I accept the prices are high as it was the Fringe, but at £700 a night I would have at least expected a decent coffee machine in the room. Not cheap instant coffee sachets. Housekeeping were poor at replenishing bathroom stuff eg bath salts. Cleanliness was good though. Too few bar staff for the number of guests/visitors. They did their best but were run off their feet. Decent breakfast.

We were there doing festival, so it was a madhouse. Despite all of that, the staff member who checked us in was amazing. He took his time to help us with the bags, explore a restaurant options with us, and helped us during our stay. Really was a spectacular room excellent service a bit overrun, but that I think was the circumstances of the festival.

Not what i expected for a Radisson

Staff friendly However although Hotels.com said i got vip perks the hotel said i didn't. They would get back to me and never did. The pool was freezing. The room was loud but we did go on the start of fringe festival The wifi didnt work And neither did the TV.

Fantastic stay at the Radisson Blu. Our suite was excellent, and the kids were thrilled to be able to sleep in their own beds in their own main room. Despite being in the heart of the city centre, the rooms were incredibly well insulated and it was so quiet and comfortable inside. You could tell the hotel was very thoughtful about comfort (ex: ear buds, pillow and bedding options, fruit basket, ample water bottles). The location for this hotel is incredible, steps away from the Royal Mile and only an easy 10 minutes walk away from many attractions (ex: the castle, calton hill, national museum, etc.). We wished we could've stayed here even longer! And would be happy to return in the future too. The breakfast was decent and good quality, although they could benefit from having more variety. Other than that, fantastic hotel.
