We came to Edinburgh for three nights and after looking at a lot of hotels decided on the Radisson Collection. We went for the premier collection on the top floor with a castle view. Lovely view, fridge did not work and was told by reception that it’s not really a fridge?? The bed was big and very comfy, no where to hang your coats in such a spacious room. Parking was great and very reasonable for a city. Breakfast was nice with a good choice although the bacon was terrible and under cooked and fatty. On our last day there was a big group of about 70 and they ran out if everything and when I asked a waiter for some items that had ran out he replied he was busy sorting out the juice. Would have thought he would have been better replenishing the food instead of cleaning the juice area and been more helpful. We enjoyed our stay, when we checked out I was not asked how our stay was? Friendly staff but for a 5 star a few minor issues.

Absolutely fantastic hotel for seeing the sights in Edinburgh. Loved our weekend stay and we actually got married here! The rooms were lovely, we had a complimentary upgrade to a suite as we had our ceremony here too. From the moment we arrived to check out the staff were fantastic; short notice pressing of my wedding dress was arranged without a problem by the front of house manager. Really appreciated all the little touches. Great place for getting about too; short walk to the castle, art gallery, Old Town, Christmas markets etc etc. Loved it :-)

We loved this hotel and our room had a stunning view of Edinburgh Castle. Any time of day was wonderful to sit and sip whisky! Loved the modern bathroom, coffee machine, oatcakes, and ample pillows. Staff were helpful and friendly and hotel was very clean

Superb hotel. Very clean and spacious rooms. Polite and attentive staff. Breakfast was ideal with a large selection both hot and cold foods. Wonderful bar area. The hotel is a perfect location for many shops and bars. Not too far to walk from main tram station of Waverley. A note of advice: Take a slightly longer stroll up the winding roads to get to the hotel if suitcases re heavy as the shorter routes are lots of steps. Old town is so much nicer to view with better architecture than the new town side of the city. I am so pleased I stayed on this old town side this time. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A lovely hotel. The rooms had everything that we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was super king size, on the firm side but aided a very restful sleep, and the pillows lovely and comfortable. The shower was to die for also. However being charged £6 for a pineapple juice and soda was ridiculous.

Nice, clean hotel with a bit of funk in style. It was comfortable for a single traveler but might feel a little tight for more then one person. The only thing I was annoyed was there lack of replenishing the water. Two water bottles were the room and despite drinking them and being in there for a week, I never received anymore. As far as location, it's great. Right on the royal mile in the heart of the action. Easy to walk to anything you might want to see

Really fantastic hotel, great views from most of the rooms. The staff were very friendly and helpful, we especially liked our surprise card and dessert for our anniversary that was left in our room. The hotel restaurant serves breakfast every day and it's cheaper to pay for it in advance than on the day. They have a continental buffet breakfast and a cooked breakfast option. Both were very tasty and good value for money. We also visited the restaurant in the evening one night and the food was delicious but the portion size (for the price) wasn't good value for money. There are so many good restaurants around the hotel that you can get better value for money and equally as good food in a few minutes walk. I would definitely recommend the hotel though and would be happy to go back. The rooms were very clean and tidy, the beds were very comfortable, if a little hard for our liking. The shower in the bathroom was great and the chairs in the room were comfortable too.

LOVE THIS HOTEL! You walk inside and in but a moment you've entered this beautiful, modern oasis...your new home away from home...in one of the world's most extraordinary cities!! The reception desk staff are some of the most gracious and patient people I've had the pleasure to meet and interact with... They set the mood beautifully. My room was on the front side of the hotel and from my modern room the ancient building across the way was a perfect "opposites attract" kind of moment! Everything about my room was quirky, fun, hip, and most comfortable and quiet!! The giant shower was equally decadent and soothing all at the same time! My giant bed was sooooo equally comfortable and soothing after long days of walking all over Edinburgh.... Just saying! The breakfast buffet in the very nice dining room was quite delicious and full of choices that should appeal to even picky eaters. The staff aim to make everyone happy and I think they succeed beautifully! The neighborhood is quirky and the hotel is just around the corner and a short walk from Edinburgh Castle! I highly recommend this well-appointed modern hotel and the great team of personnel who all make it tick with great ease and excellence! Bravo!!
