Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

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.

We stayed at Raddison Blu for our 10th wedding anniversary we arrived early and were able to check in to our room we payed for a room with a view which was sub par the room was nice but not worth the extra. The room was clean the bed was comfortable and the extra touches like balloons and a banner was welcome would stay here again but would not pay the extra

Hotel is in centre to everything 5 minute walk to train station and about 7 minutes to castle which you could add longer with shops and bars lol

This is a perfect place to stay in Edinburgh. It is centrally located on the Royal Mile which makes it easy to get to all of the sites. The staff was great and made us feel at home.

While the hotel is in a central and very convenient location, and the staff is very nice and friendly. we did not have heating in the room for the entire stay.
The room was very big as we paid (a lot) for a better room, but it had no furnitures in it. The bed was tornd and used, so very uncomfortable, there was a tiny coffee table with only one seat, so that we could not even sit together; and the desk was one of the smallest I have ever seen in any hotel.
The main issue was the heating. we had to sleep with clothes on and when asked the staff to help, they told us that when it's very cold outside the heating doesn't work properly as too many people use it. So we sat and slept in the cold for two days.

Stayed here at new years, three day stay. Busiest night of the year and they were excellent on all fronts.Service was superb and the location was perfect.

Great location in old town, close to the castle. Downhill is the train station, shopping and new town. Lot's of dining choices just outside the front door. Rooms are spacious and modern. Breakfast was good with the option of ordering items not on the buffet.

I made an error by booking via 3rd party & somehow booked our stay for Christmas 2026. The hotel staff were absolutely phenomenal in helping me get the booking cancelled so we could rebook directly with them. Huge shoutout to Zoe, Anna, & Natasha - they saved Christmas for us!

We stayed here for a birthday celebration and we sadly did not receive a warm welcome or any interest shown as to the purpose of our stay. Upon arrival we were told our room was not ready this is despite turning up over 30 minutes after the allocated check in time. When we finally got to our room, despite the details we provided at the time of booking and at check in, the room was not set correctly. The duvet cover had a very obvious hole on the duvet cover. Reception was unanswered so we had to go back down to reception with our bags and suitcases to report the issue. We were provided with drink tokens x2 to use for a drink each due to another unrelated issue in room to do with the toilet flush constantly flushing. We were told they would find us to let us know when our room was correctly prepared and ready for our stay.

We found the bar staff to be quite rude and again disinterested. No offer of assistance as I carried drinks with a tray, bags and a suitcase!

We had to chase the progress of our room with reception/check in staff and finally got into our room for 16:45, which was not ideal nor a good start to our stay here.

The view was disappointing, a small window with bottles, rubbish and other items dumped in the guttering, which was off putting. We won’t pay extra for the ‘scenic’ view should we stay here again. The TV reception was hit and miss. There was a heater in the room, which was a clear indication that the heating is just sufficient in the room or to expect problems. At times we were too cold or were blasted with the heat from the portable heater.

We found the breakfast team to be pleasant and efficient. There is plenty of choice and the rooms albeit are downstairs and in the back were good sized rooms, nicely decorated.

Location a short walk from train station.

We stayed at Radisson Blu on the Royal Mile and loved it. Perfect central location — everything is just a short walk away. The hotel is well run, the team at reception is quick and professional, and the room was spacious, quiet, clean, and very comfortable.

Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the service across the hotel felt confident and genuinely guest-focused. The mix of historic atmosphere and modern comfort really works here.

A great stay and strong value for money. We’ll gladly return — highly recommended.

Great hotel. Perfect for us as a family. Our room was clean and well stocked. Room service was fast and efficient. Comfy beds and everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Would be happy to stay again in the future.

Fantastic location. Lovely reception staff. Good to have a car park.
Overpriced for quality of accommodation. Disturbed sleep due to functions 2/3 nights to past midnight.
Gloomy public areas and corridors.
No working phone in room (cable missing!), blood stain on duvet cover. Cleaner walked in without even knocking. No Do Not Disturb sign provided.
Overall very disappointed and would not stay again.

I stayed at the Radisson Blu recently and the whole experience was superb. The staff I dealt with were so helpful, friendly and informative, especially Alicia and the team member on customer service at lunchtime on the 10th Dec although, unfortunately, I didn't get her name. The hotel is clean, the room was so lovely and a very comfortable bed. Location is fab right onto the Royal Mile and a short 5-10 minute walk down Cockburn Street to Waverley Station and Princes Street Gardens. Hopefully I'll be back!

The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of all the main sights. Although it's right next to the tourist attractions and in a lively area, it's still quiet at night and you can sleep comfortably

Awful. Find somewhere else to stay.
The only good thing is the location.
Gloomy public areas. Basic rooms. Overpriced.
Music blaring past midnight from function room downstairs meaning no sleep.

All the staff all seemed to lovely and helpful we’ve have visited this hotel for past 3 years for Christmas radison has always been my favourite brand the rooms are great this year tho there are differences some lights and power outlets not working in the suite we were in they’ve replaced filtered coffee at breakfast with a machine which my opinion is not very good we ended up just getting coffee from Starbucks which is just outside the hotel they do have filtered coffee at reception tho ! Items have also been taken away from breakfast no waffles no avado on toast our eggs Benedict it’s all gone from breakfast menu which is what set this hotel apart from cheaper hotels but for me this year the cut backs don’t make it worth paying £900 plus for 2 nights it’s probably more too as I booked 12 months ago

Double charged for the room and having difficulty with hotel on getting a refund . Staff incompetent and nobody seems to be able to resolve this problem

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Experience!

Stayed at Radisson Blu Edinburgh for 2 days and it was the best hotel experience ever. The location is perfect, right in the city centre. Special thanks to Ravi, in the breakfast — he helped us with the best vegetarian options and made the experience memorable with his great hospitality. The City View room made our stay even more special. Highly recommended!
