Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh

We were in Edinburgh for a family party and my nephew recommended the Radisson. It was the perfect central location. It looks and feels like a renovated traditional building, but an architect friend told me it isn't. The room was moderate sized, everything worked, the staff was friendly and helpful, the bar was comfortable and we enjoyed the spa. The best hotel we stayed in on a four-hotel trip. We'll be back.

This hotel is in a great location, right on the Royal Mile and close to the castle. The rooms were fine, nothing really special or luxurious. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating though.

LOVED the Radisson Blu! First time in Edinburgh and after an extremely long trip we arrived exhausted in the early morning. They had our room ready by late morning and their warm friendly welcome was awesome. Probably my most favorite hotel stay ever.

We arrived from an overnight flight, tired, sore, and dragging bags. The Radisson is an easy walk from the Airlink terminal, if a bit uphill. We were able to check in early, shower, nap, and still walk to Edinburgh Castle well before closing time. This hotel is very centrally located, has a beautiful exterior, spacious rooms, and nice amenities (coffee/tea service with a surprise or two, nice tub/shower combination, lovely shampoo, etc). We could open the window in our room, to see Arthur's Seat and hear the gulls cry. The staff are very attentive, and willing to explain almost anything. I think the hotel is a very lovely place to stay. Regrettably, I can't afford to stay here more often.

Excellent location, very helpful and friendly staff - well worth a visit.

We visited with our nephew at Edinburgh University recently and stayed 3 nights at the Rad Blu. Truly a great location for the old town, the castle, the train station and of course the university. Hotel lounge is spacious, comfortable, a good place to sit and plan the day. Hotel was clean, staff friendly, and the breakfast was ample. What more do you need for short visit!

This hotel has the perfect location to tour the old city. It is in the middle of the Royal Mile and half way between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Castle. It is also within easy walking distance of the National Museum of Scotland. In addition, there was a Starbucks in the next block to give us our coffee fix at a reasonable price! The staff was extremely helpful with all of our requests. Our room was large and the bath was very good size. Our only complaint was that the room needed more lights. It was difficult to read without rearranging some of the furniture, but, that being said, we will stay at the Blu on our next trip to Edinburgh.

This hotel has a wonderful location and is within comfortable walking distance of most of the things that you want to see and do. We walked to the castle, shops, the museum and the ghost tour meeting spot without much time or effort. There was usually the sound of bagpipes in the air. The rooms on the pub side of the building can be noisy on the lower floors at night. There are no drawers in the hotel room. We were on a wait list for a luggage rack. I'd stay here again.

The hotel is around the middle of the Royal Mile, and with quick and easy access to Weaverly train station and Airport bus transportation. The rooms are modern and very comfortable. Breakfast was very good and not too pricey. Overall a very good hotel.

MY 3rd stay at this hotel in as many years. could not ask for a more perfect location, walking distance to everything! Staff very courteous and helpful. Called down to the desk 2 different times, and it seemed as soon as I hung up the phone, someone was knocking at the door with what I requested.
