Fantastic stay at the Radisson Blu. Our suite was excellent, and the kids were thrilled to be able to sleep in their own beds in their own main room. Despite being in the heart of the city centre, the rooms were incredibly well insulated and it was so quiet and comfortable inside. You could tell the hotel was very thoughtful about comfort (ex: ear buds, pillow and bedding options, fruit basket, ample water bottles). The location for this hotel is incredible, steps away from the Royal Mile and only an easy 10 minutes walk away from many attractions (ex: the castle, calton hill, national museum, etc.). We wished we could've stayed here even longer! And would be happy to return in the future too. The breakfast was decent and good quality, although they could benefit from having more variety. Other than that, fantastic hotel.

The carpet and fittings are old and dated. The carpet condition is very bad. We opted for Superior View room but the window was tiny and the only view was visible when standing up. The concierge Roy Hogg was very helpful and got us a good 5-day trip booking for the Highlands, up to Loch Ness and Inverness. The room rate turned out to be pricey, and no breakfast was included. Only the hotel location is perfectly in the heart of the city,
