"Peaceful"

Despite being directly beside numerous pubs and attractions our room on the 5th floor was very quiet and peaceful, especially for a Friday night. Lovely room, friendly staff with a great location. We`ll be back.

"Excellent"

We stayed at Radisson Blu for our 25th wedding anniversary. The Duty Manager (Brian) was very kind and gave us a free room upgrade, a couple of glasses of Proscetto in the bar, fudget & strawberries delivered to our room. All these little things made the occasion even more special. Brian and all staff were so friendly. The room was spotless. Buffet breakfast was plentiful - wide variety of cooked and continental to choose from. Perfect location for us. Would definitely stay here again.

You should improve the following: 1. the pool temperature was quite low 2. you need a refurbish in the pool room to make it more modern 3. include chocolate in breakfast for people who want to eat it with croissant /bread

"1 st Class"

I can honestly say that my stay at the Radisson hotel in centre of Edinburgh was one of the most enjoyable I have had! Hotel 1st class!, Room clean, spacious, most comfortable bed I had slept in! Great views from my room. The staff 1st class very helpful and courteous, food excellent, great value for money paid and I definately would recommend to anyone!

"Great Service"

Overall hotel was great, with the staff being some of the most helpful and attentive I have met. The facilities were great and breakfast giving a large choice. Only thing letting it down was the noisy drunk people out the front at crazy times of the morning. I could have changed rooms, which I knew the staff would have accommodated but choose to stick it out. Just a note for all you light sleepers there is a taxi rank out the front so ask for a back room. Donâ??t let this put you off as an overall enjoyable stay!

"Perfect"

My girlfriend and I stayed for two nights in the Radisson Blue and have no complaints and plenty of compliments. Staff were friendly and helpful (even at 3am when we were still ordering drinks in the lounge) our room was large, clean and modern and the location was ideal. would definitely go back and would thoroughly recommend it who was looking for that bit extra special hotel in Edinburgh (as it is a bit pricey).

"Lovely Hotel"

I spent two nights at the Radisson Blu with my mother. The hotel was very central and close to everything, the food was reasonably priced, and the staff were at a new level of brilliant. We had one issue on our first day with a cleaner waking us up really early to clean the room but we complained and it was all sorted out! The manager was lovely about it and gave us a bowl of fruit as an appology which went down a treat! Whilst we were in Edinburgh we wanted to visit a few attractions and the receptionist gave me a good 15 minutes explaining what she`d reccomend and where everything was. They were lovely. The rooms have lovely sized bathrooms, safes, and fridges, it was great. I`d definetely reccomend it! Great stay!

We found during our stay at Radisson Edinburgh that the general impression left was that the hotel was faultless. The staff were extremely helpful especially the young man from South Africa who organised coffee early in the morning in the Itchycoo Bar as we were having a rushed but important business meeting before heading North that morning. We also very much appreciated the cakes on arrival in our room. Thank you.

"Exceptional accommodation. The rooms have been decorated to a high standard."

The location of the hotel was perfect ! right on the royal mile and in very close proximity to all the other venues,shops etc. We would stay at this hotel again and again. The only concern we had was the windows in the room. They would only open approx 6 inches at the bottom. If there were to be a fire in the hall way you would have the break the window an escape route. Worth looking into HSE Regards Steve Hellings

We enjoyed our stay. We requested a twin room, but the bed was made as a double, however this was rectified quickly on request. Our room was adequate. The coffee machine was faulty, but again a replacement machine was provide within 20mins. Unfortunately our trip was too short to enjoy the leisure facilities other than booking a massage which was very enjoyable. Unfortunately on departure only one lift appeared to be working and as we were on floor 2 it was always full when it reached us. we found the fire escape stairs and carried our cases down two floors to find ourselves at the kitchen, retraced our steps with our cases to the first floor and managed to find the route down more stairs to the reception although this was not sign posted from the stair well. Not such a good end to the stay as our cases were heavy!

"Excellent staff, excellent location, very comfortable"

You can easily walk to this hotel from Waverley station, but it is uphill. The hotel is about halfway along the Royal Mile so you can walk to the castle at one end and Holyrood at the other. Princes Street too is within walking distance (and downhill!) but, apart from Jenners, you could be in any high street in any city. We had a good sized room overlooking the Royal Mile, but it wasn`t noisy at night. I enjoyed a swim in the pool; good size and good facilities. So, location and facilties are excellent, but the staff are even better! Really, really, nice, helpful, friendly people

"Very well run hotel with efficiency and politeness throughout. Have enjoyed short trips for years"

the hotel had all the facilities that we required and we very much enjoyed our stay. The location was brilliant; being able to walk through a lovely marble reception with many lifts and desks all to make our plans easy; very helpful staff on the desks; lovely little bar/restaurant with delicious food where one could enjoy either a snack or a full meal. The car park was very convenient for us. Finally for us the hotel in general terms was really brilliant as we are not used to such good facilities; whilst having said that the hotel was not cheap and we wd appreciate any feedback when good deals are going.
