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.

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

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 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 :-)
