Radisson Collection Hotel, Royal Mile Edinburgh

Total eyesore that ruins George IV and the old town. Also, basically zero transparency or information available as to why it’s been under construction for so long. The beige block is under 20 years old, crazy that it needs such extensive maintenance. At least the 1960s Lothian Council Offices that preceded it were cool

DO NOT STAY HERE. This hotel has been covered in scaffolding and has created a nuisance in the area for nearly 5 years. You'll be supporting a company who has been negligent with its UNESCO World Hertiage surroundings and believe me when I tell you you'll have zero view from your room and every single time you enter or exit your hotel you'll have to deal with the crush of pedestrians that this construction monstrosity has brought to the area.

Visited the hotel recently. It was in a great location, all of the staff were very friendly. The Junior Suite was spacious and ideal for two adults and two children. It could have easily accommodated another child in there. So many lovely little touches, like fresh water bottles each day, lots of lovely toiletries in the bathroom. You could help yourself to coffee and tea in Reception area. ||Both the swimming pool and gym were spotless.||The minuses were that the bar area was a bit dark and lacked atmosphere. Normal hotel prices for drinks.||The hotel is cashless, which I don’t understand, because cash is still||Legal tender. I prefer to use cash but there was no option to do so.||Great stay in a great city.

This hotel was a disappointment. It is old and tired with the front of house and bar staff barely making an effort. The tubs are dangerously high from the floor and two of our party experienced near falls despite using two points of contact exiting post shower. I have lovely bruises to show for my stay. The halls smelled musty. The breakfast was painfully mediocre. We previously stayed at the Radisson in London, which was amazing. I will most likely choose other hotels for my future holidays.

Blight on the local environment. The external structure has been under scaffolding for over 5 years, which blocks pavement access on the main road. A complete joke they’ve been allowed to get away with it for so long.

We visited Edinburgh for the weekend, as a group of friends. We had been walking all day and decided we would like a drink before dinner . We stopped at the Radisson. It as very busy and the bar was understaffed. ||We found seats and went to the bar. The bar staff were wonderful , even though really busy made us feel like we were their only guests. I must give a special mention to Julia . She made me what I can only describe as the best caramel iced coffee I have ever or likely to ever tasted in my life. Her espresso Martini was like a piece of art and tasted divine . Julia was so lovely efficient and I feel she deserved her own review. I will come back to Edinburgh just to see Julia and enjoy the best iced coffee ever.

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.

Stayed here for a short stay. Upon early arrival I went to use the ladies bathrooms which filthy, sanitary pads overflowing from every bin, toilet strewn across the floor due to poor quality of the paper so it breaks before you can tear an adequate price. Upon bringing this to the front ladies attention she replied that it’s a busy period which is not unacceptable for the price of this hotel and doesn’t keep us with radisson standard. The room size was decent but that’s about it. There were crumbs in our bed and honestly can’t say I’d stay here again.||||Hilton is nearby as well and probably worth the extra price because this hotel has a lot to strive for in terms of cleanliness. Even the reception/lobby is untidy with cheap filter coffee on a self service station that just gives this hotel a motel feel overall.
