    Old Town
    Few Edinburghers live in the Old Town, but its labyrinth of dank alleys and steep streets suggests this was not always the case. Today, it’s mostly visitors, tartan-flavoured souvenir shops, and pipers that you’ll find on its cobbled streets. This is the place to get a feel for Auld Reekie (Old Smelly), as the town was once nicknamed, and stroll the Royal Mile, the thoroughfare that links the castle with the royal palace – two of Edinburgh’s great set-piece attractions. But there’s lots more exploring to do here down dozens of little alleys, or wynds, while at night the city’s busiest clubs erupt along the Cowgate which is closed to traffic for this purpose.

    What a lovely place!
    A really lovely hotel in a great location. Thoroughly enjoyed a two night stay in this wonderful place. The staff could not have been more welcoming, helpful and professional. Nothing was too much trouble. A comfortable bed in a very comfortable room. Highly recommend this hotel.

    Having a great nights sleep after a busy day is so important. This hotel has really comfortable beds and a pillow menu. This means you can choose the type of pillow best suited to you....key when needing restorative sleep after a tiring, but enjoyable day. This hotel is 5-10…

    I’m not sure whether to get the tram or airbus from the airport....what will be easiest and bring me closest to the hotel?
    Hello Tania E, There are a number of easy transportation methods to Edinburgh City Centre; Airport – City Tram: £5.50 per person / per journey, Travel time: 30mins Airlink 100 – Bus: £4.50 per person / £7.50 return, Travel time: 25mins Taxi, £20 – £25, Travel time: 20 – 30 mins (depending on traffic) I would personally recommend the Airlink 100 bus to / from Waverly Bridge as the buses are very frequent and its the closest public transport to the hotel, 5 mins walk via Cockburn St. We look forward to welcoming you to Radisson Blu soon!

    Hi! Can anyone tell me if the pool is heated? The other review was saying the water was cold and no jacuzzi. Im planning to visit on Dec 2018. Thanks!
    Dear clpmt, I can confirm that the temperature of the pool is 29.7. Unfortunately we do not have a Jacuzzi but we do have a sauna and steam room. Hopefully we can look forward to welcoming you to the hotel in December! Warmest regards, Claire Calvert

    "We stayed in a Suite which was lovely and quiet."
    "We paid a supplement for a view of Salisbury Crags. Some rooms seem to look at an internal space."
    "Ask for a room that is away from the adjoining nightclubs"
    "Room on the first floor right hand side are over looking a night club"
    "We stayed on the 5th floor and I'd recommend staying on this floor or the 6th as it was really quiet."
