"."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"La proximité des attractions touristiques et la gentillesse du personnel!"

Radisson Blu Hotel, Edinburgh City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Radison Blu is centrally located on High Street and the Royal Mile where there was so much to see, especially during our first ever Fringe Festival. The most amazing hotel feature was the spa facilities (Sauna, Steam and indoor pool). The breakfast was nice but not amazing since it lacked an omelette station, but the fruit provided was sweet n fresh! Staff very helpful. Lunch at the restaurant was good!"
