Radisson Blu Edinburgh

The only real advantage of this hotel is its location. Unfortunately, everything else was disappointing. The staff were polite, but the service was minimal and not particularly helpful. Paying around €600 per night for a studio, I expected a much higher standard. There was effectively no housekeeping during our stay—we had to ask for fresh towels ourselves. Coffee capsules and bottled water were never replenished. The cleanliness was also far below expectations: there was a forgotten sock from a previous guest under the bed, and the mattresses (visible beneath the bedding) looked stained and dirty, which was very concerning. The corridor outside our room was disgustingly dirty throughout our stay. On one occasion, bags of rubbish were left in the corridor from around 4:00 p.m. until at least 9:00 p.m., despite housekeeping staff still working in the area when we first noticed them. Overall, this hotel does not come close to justifying its price. Apart from the excellent location, the experience was deeply disappointing.

Me and my family stayed here yesterday. We had adjoining rooms for the kids. Rooms were cleaned and of a really nice standard. Hotel is in a great location on the royal mile with plenty of food options around. Front of house staff were excellent, accommodating and welcoming. I only have 2 points i would add to improve the service. They have 2 electric car parking spots in their onsite parking, one tesla and 1 type 2. The type 2 was full when we got there and needed to charge. We did mange to charge the car eventually in their type 2 spot which was free of charge which was great. An additional spot wouldnt go a miss. Lastly the gents chamging room in the spa had an awful smell on both days we went in there, so an airfreshner or clean wouldnt go a miss. Other than that nitpicking a lovely hotel and would definitely stay again!

Location is perfect — close to the old town and within easy reach of all the attractions. Rooms are a good size, but the AC isn't the best, and if you want to change the settings you have to go through calling the front desk, which isn't practical, especially in the middle of the night. Food is amazing, staff were helpful, and the laundry service is efficient.
