Well-located , clean and does the job. Rooms well-soundproofed and beds comfortable. Used the pool (but not the gym) which was clean and pleasant. Not much atmosphere but plenty of nearby venues for food and drink.

Hotel's Favourite
My husband and I had our wedding reception here on 16th April 2022 following a short ceremony at the Edinburgh City Chambers. We stayed two nights, pre-wedding and the wedding night itself. I had called up the Radisson Blu events team 6 weeks prior to see on the off chance if they had availability for our event. Our original venue weren't being great with communicational and something felt 'off' but we thought we'd try our luck elsewhere - so glad we did because the Radisson Blu actually made our wedding. The prices were fabulous per person for meals and drinks, far cheaper than elsewhere. It fitted our small budget perfectly! We arrived in Edinburgh to discover our families accommodation (5 bed apartment elsewhere for 11 people) was absolutely vile. Dirty, uncared for and unsafe (the external doors didn't lock!). In a panic, we tried to rearrange accom but it being Easter weekend the pricing on the Internet for alternative accom was proposterous. I decided to call Joseph (Head of Operations) at the hotel to explain the situation, he said he'd speak to Head of Front Desk, Fabio. Within minutes I had a returned phone call me from Fabio assuring me that the family all had rooms reserved, I wasn't to panic and to enjoy what I was doing - their keys were waiting at reception for them. The room rate was AMAZING and included breakfast too! We all arrived and enjoyed some lovely drinks at the bar then headed to the Great Scot Room to finish setting up the tables for the next day. In the morning, we all had breakfast (BEST BUFFET EVER!) and we're looked after by Ericcson. He was the most attentive waiter ever and couldn't of been any nicer. Friendly, helpful and respectful! The breakfast is worth the hotel stay. We have children following a gluten free diet and the options were incredible. Following breakfast, the kids and family headed to the pool. Absolutely outstanding, stunning and clean! The normal wedding jazz then occurred. When we returned, our bags had been moved to the Royal suite (free upgrade!) and prosecco awaited us! The Royal suite is EVERYTHING you'd want from a suite and more. It's huge! All our guests had some lovely prosecco too before we moved into the Great Scot Room for our speeches, meal and more drinks. Well, what can I say here? The food was exceptional! The entire menu was gluten free, as was the vegan menu too. The food was beautiful and the presentation was just utterly perfect. The service was perfect too. Professional but warm, fast and flexible - we had to arrange an alternative meal for a guest but this was promptly dealt with without issue. The Great Scot Hall is just perfect. The events team had even arranged some toys to be out for our 4 young children to play with. It made everything so much easier. No children to entertain and the doors closed so we didn't have any escapees - we could relax entirely! Toilets were all immaculate roo and well serviced. The night continued but then luckily it was time to enjoy our suite! The room was so comfortable, quiet (despite being on the Royal Mile) and the air con worked perfectly. The next morning, we were met with Easter eggs for all the children af breakfast and a large table that had been put together to accommodate our large party (we didn't even request this but it was such a thoughtful thing to do!). Ericcson was fabulous as normal and helped see that all our needs were seen too. We were so sad to leave! Honestly, this hotel is the perfect event hotel. The attention to detail from Sarah on the events team, the swiftness and friendliness of Joseph and the absolute lifesaver, Fabio. Fabio really displayed customer service skills like nothing I've ever seen before. If I owned a hotel, I'd of poached him on the spot. They, and all the other friendly faces, made our wedding weekend the best weekend of our lives. We can never thank you enough!…

The hotel is in a great location for visiting the city and places of interest. Plenty of good bars, cafes and restaurants a short walk away. Staff were helpful and welcoming and the parking is really convenient. Our room was clean and comfortable.

We we're given a slightly larger room on check-in overlooking the Royal Mile even though we'd booked a standard room. Unfortunately the room heating was not working. Reception arranged for the duty manager to visit and he advised he will set it higher from his control machine and see if the heating then kicks in. In the meantime he would arrange for a heater to be brought up. The heater arrived, very small to heat a large room and not suitable to be used overnight. Contacted the desk again about the possibility of being switched to another room as the heating didn't work still. Was moved to a standard room as per booking but at the back of the hotel, where earplugs are provided due to proximity of Niddry St with places like Whistlebinkies. We didn't complain as the room was warm. I have mobility issues with Multiple Sclerosis and use a walking stick which I believe the staff we encountered could see. Unfortunately, this wasn't taken into account for our stay when being moved to another room but we didn't want to make a fuss given how long it took to sort it. Will think twice about staying here again when in Edinburgh. …

Great location on The Royal Mile. Our room had a lovely view of Arthur’s Seat. Staff are polite & helpful. Only downside was two single beds joined which wasn’t optimal. Room was well heated especially at sun-zero temps.

We have stayed at the Radisson Blu many times and brought groups there and cannot say enough about their professionalism, friendly helpful staff and attention to detail. The location couldn't be better with so much right outside the front door. I highly recommend this hotel for both leisure and business.
