Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

My partner and I spent 2 nights here after booking a superior room with double bed we got there and room had 2 single beds so gave a new room and no heating at all told it would be on in an hour but nothing all we got was this little heater ! All I can say is the concierge was good and knowledgeable ! Apart from that just not worth the money

The hotel is well run and welcoming in an excellent location. Have visited many times and there are certain areas that are in need of renovation/upgrading. But rooms are well proportioned and spotlessly clean. Breakfast acceptable but room for improvement in choice, prevention and atmosphere. Staff are always brilliant - welcoming and professional - especially reception. Will return.

We stayed at the Radisson for my husband’s birthday, and the staff kindly decorated the bed with a banner and balloons — such a thoughtful touch. We were in room 541 for two nights. The bed was very comfortable with lovely pillows, and the room itself was spotless. Although we faced the side of the building, we barely heard any street noise. The bathroom had a bath with toiletries provided, and the hotel’s location couldn’t have been better — perfect for the Royal Mile, with plenty of bars, restaurants, and tourist attractions within easy reach. The hotel felt safe, and the bar area was really inviting with comfortable seating. Breakfast was a generous buffet with plenty of choice, including some gluten‑free options. The only downside was the air‑conditioning. Our room was freezing both nights, and we had to call reception to have the heating switched on. To their credit, it was sorted within minutes, but it did seem to be an ongoing issue, which I mentioned at checkout. We also visited the spa area for a look around. Although we couldn’t use the facilities this time for personal reasons, the pool looked great and the treatment area smelled lovely. Overall, we would definitely recommend this hotel and would happily stay again.

As a solo traveler, this is an excellent hotel. I felt very safe coming and going very early to late in the evening. The rooms, amenities & hotel lobby are very clean and well kept. The location is centrally located on the Royal Mile so it's convenient to walk to all of the sights in Old Town within minutes and about a 6-7 minute walk to all the bus tour starting points at Waterloo. It's also only about a 5 minute walk from Waverly Station where the Airlink Airport Bus Shuttle drops/picks you up for the 30 min ride. The hotel staff is very friendly, welcoming and willing to answer all the touristy questions. Again, the location is GREAT. Sites, great food, pubs & live music are literally all around the hotel. The pick up for the day trips to the highlands is also about 100-150 yards up the street.

Me and my husband stayed at The Radisson, Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago. We were warmly greeted by Natasha and Zoey. These young ladies are an absolute credit to the hotel. They even remembered us from a stay two months prior to this one. They were very helpful and we had a good laugh with them. It makes such a difference to be greeted in this manner and really sets the tone for your stay. Our room was lovely and had everything you could need for a short stay, including plenty of storage. The cleanliness of the room and bathroom was excellent. We had breakfast but unfortunately this had not improved since our last stay. The bacon was desperately undercooked and other items seemed of poor quality. Also little room to put your plate down as you lift the lids on everything. This is such a shame as everything else about this hotel is wonderful. This would not put us off returning as it’s the only hotel we would want to stay in Edinburgh, but would forego breakfast.

This is a lovely hotel in a good location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are light and airy with comfortable beds, plenty of lights, and very clean. The en-suite had a bath as well as a great shower. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, I did think at the price a biscuit or two would have been nice but you did get complementary bottled water. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. We shall definitely come here again.

Had a fantastic stay at the hotel, staff very friendly, (Natasha the concierge was super helpful) very clean, great facilities and fabulous location. will definitely stay here again.

What can I say. Radisson?... Not as I used to remember. Very low equipted room. Breakfast medium Cold and the airconditioner not 100%

Excellent trip to Edinburgh, Hotel clean and efficient as always, location on the royal mile is excellent, plenty of pubs and dining within minutes. Would highly recommend

Stayed in December for our anniversary and what a great experience in a lovely hotel. Staff were super friendly and helpful and they even decorated our room with balloons and a banner which was such a lovely touch. Hotel itself is lovely with great facilities. I’d recommend trying to use the leisure facilities first or last thing as it can become crowded quickly, especially if families with children as it’s not really set up for that, more of a relaxing spa leisure set up. Drinks were lovely and breakfast buffet had everything you could want. Would recommend and look forward to staying again.
