My partner booked the hotel as a surprise and I was really impressed with the building when we arrived. It looks really grand. the receptionist was pleasant if a little staged in in his welcome 'speech'- gave us info on meals etc. Room was a decent size but we found it dark and rather drab.The bed was large,little too hard for our taste. It was very clean tho with usual tea making tray and complimentary toiletries. Breakfast was ok nothing fantastic-especially as its expensive.. we didnt eat in the hotel at night as there are plenty cheaper places to eat just minutes away from hotel door so cant comment on evening meals.Room service was toooo slow! For what my partner paid for a 2 night stay we wouldnt go back-expected better service and value for the cost.
Once i knew we were coming to the hotel I read reviews on here and was surprised that the manager didnt reply to the couple of negative ones.....

I loved my stay at the Raddison. The hotel staff were so friendly and welcoming. I stayed in the standard room and it was very large, clean and nicely decorated. I had a hot buffet breakfast included and it was very yummy- had everything you could ask for at breakfast including smoked salmon, haggis and black pudding.The location of the hotel was perfect- right in the centre of the beautiful old town. I would defiantly recommend this hotel to anybody staying in Edinburgh.

This is a nice hotel in a great location that deserves 4/5 but beware of possible noise disturbance from the club near-by.
It doesn't close until 3AM, including week days, and the clubbers are hardly quiet when they leave.The music is constant and clear. The Hotel have put up secondary glazing but if you are a light sleeper this is not the hotel for you.

Centrally situated on on Royal Mile close to most of the attractions. We stayed 2 nights and had a comfortable room on 5th floor. Did not eat in hotel so can't comment on the dinning facilities. Would definitely stay here again.
