"Really great service, friendly staff, very clean and everything you could need!"

Had a really nice 2 night stay at the Radisson Edinburgh at the start of June. The staff were lovely, really helpful. Didn`t have any food at the hotel so cannot comment on that, nor did we use the pool as we didn`t have time! Only complaint was being woke by the maid at 8am on morning of checkout (when checkout isn`t until 12), then again at 10am to see if we had left. Really should have put out the `do not disturb sign`. All in all, brilliant stay and will definitely be back!

I was treating my neice for her 21st Birthday celebrations and reception upgraded our room ; provided a cake and free glass of bubbly!! These extra touched really made our stay especially for an impoverished student!! Every aspect of the hotel was first class - we world definately recommend it. Linda & Rachael (Belfast)

"Amazing location with cheap parking!"

Situated slap bang in the middle of the Royal Mile you cannot beat this hotel on location. Staff were really friendly and helpful without being pushy. We had a standard double room which was clean, tidy and quiet but if super picky could maybe do with a spruce up and maybe not quite 4* but was perfectly fine for a few days sight seeing and I would probably enquire about the turret rooms if it was a special occasion. Overall it was a great stay and wouldn`t think of staying anywhere else unless pushing the boat out with the Balmoral.

"Disappointing, - would not recommend"

Very helpful staff on Reception and excellent location in Edinburgh`s Royal Mile - other than that very disappointing. Room decor `tired` and verging on grubby. Carpeting and seating stained.

"Lovely hotel, perfect location, massive beds!!"

Excellent hotel, couldn`t be better situated right on the royal mile. Beautiful, clean hotel, check in and departure staff brilliant. We paid slightly less per night on our previous visit to Edinburgh and stayed at a boutique hotel. This is well worth an extra few pounds.

"A comfortable, stylish hotel with convenient location for main Edinburgh attractions."

We enjoyed our stay at the Radisson Edinburgh. The rooms are very comfortable, and the staff on the Reception desk were welcoming and friendly. They readily accommodated our request for a room at the back of the hotel, and were very helpful - a good place to stay for a long weekend.

"Average accomodation"

The bed was very hard and gave me back ache. There was a lot of noise on both nights around 10pm coming from the floor above. It lasted around 30 mins each night and sounded like tables and chairs being dragged along the floor. This is not acceptable when you pay premium money for a hotel room.

"No heating in the bathroom! Very cold. Thought it should have had underfloor heating?"

We were upgraded to a business class room but very disappointed with the large ink stain on the carpet as we entered our room. This gave a rather unsatisfactory first impression. I think our room number was 246. Would welcome your comments back to us on that. Thanks

"Very friendly staff - made us feel very welcome."

"Well situated - very central for tourist areas."

Staff were very friendly, helpful and pleasant. Hotel spotless. Little bit noisy from the street outside in to early morning (Sat/Sunday) - we had booked 2 rooms and found on arrival that in one of the rooms the wardrobe doors were missing -hinges removed and painted over. Breakfast was excellent value for money. Car Park fees high - feel fees should have been waved for hotel residents.

"Very average hotel"

It`s location is what makes it decent, and from outside it almost wins hands down for looks. But I found it to be very average. We had just a standard room. Not really any view to speak of. We used the lesuire pool and found it very basic, an quite small. Although it was a clean hotel, the expectation was much higher, given the caliber of the Radisson name. Definitely not worth the daily rate, even though it was valentines weekend.

Staff very welcoming and helpful. Rooms perfectly adequate - but poor lighting possibly due to energy efficient bulbs! Facilities very good. Disappointing part as in previous visits was breakfast time. Waiting for dishes to be refilled and no supplies of clean glasses and plates.

Friendly, efficient and helpful staff. Effective sound insulation and blackout curtains made for a good nights sleep. Bathroom cramped and would be better as a shower room than shower over bath. Cracked sink and cheaply made surround highlights that it `s maybe time for a refit. Good location for tourists.
