Nice place in nice location

Nice, easily accessible hotel. Just a short walk from Gloucester Rd. tube station. I reserved a single and got a twin. It was large enough for me, but would be a challenge for a couple with luggage. Overall, my stay was nice and uneventful - I was mostly out and didn't use the restaurant or the fitness center. My observations (not complaints) - rooms are small comparing to US Radissons, bathrooms are also a tad small - tub takes up most of it and the toilet is wedged behind the sink. But over all I liked the friendly staff, reasonable price and accessibility.

Lovely, Clean Hotel with a Great Staff

We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful The hotel was spotless clean, and the included breakfast was really terrific,with many offerings...eggs, sausage, bacon meats, fresh fruit, cereal, etc. Aside from the small bathroom (which I think is fairly typical in London), I would have nothing but praise for this hotel. Would highly recommend it.

If this is your first trip to London, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend taking a tour when you arrive. We took the Total London Experience, and it was great. Got to see many of the sights we would have missed if just on our own.

Great location and staff

The hotel was in a great location (across from a tube station) and the staff was extremely helpful. Our room was upgraded to a king bed at check-in, was very clean and had a great view. Our only negative comment about the room is that is was a long way from the elevator - this Radisson is a string of townhouses and our room was located in the farthest corner from the elevator. Our full breakfast which was included with the room was very good. Do not eat at the hotel restaurant - too many better places in the neighborhood.

Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt Hotel

The rooms were clean and quite. Large enough for Europe. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The included breakfast was excellent and the hostess and her staff were outstanding. One of the service desk staff had difficutly with English (or my English) when we first arrived but did not encounter him again afterwards. All others were native and were very accommodating. I still gave staff a "5".

Enjoyed "Paul" French bakery across from tube station. Excellent mocha, pastries, and sandwiches. Their coffees put Starbucks to shame.

a few warts

Gave us two single beds when we asked for a double. Safe had the battery holder ripped out, so it is clear it has not worked for some time. Otherwise very nice.

A decent hotel if spend all day out

Using the elevator was just too much trouble with the room card. The elevator was super slow. 2 times I have to go to the front desk to get a new card because the magnetic stripe doesn't work anymore. The room is very clean but tiny. You can only sit on the beds. The staff was really friendly and helpful. They are also pretty quiet when cleaning the room or corridor. The location is SUPERB, 2 minutes walk to the tube station. And it's surrounded by supermarkets, cafes, and taverns.

Just what I needed

I stayed at the hotel by myself in a single room. It had one twin bed. The room was more spacious than I had imagined, and it was very clean. I only wish it had a fridge. But the tea kettle was great for making my own breakfast every morning. The staff at the hotel were all extremely friendly and helpful. I appreciated the free wireless internet. I did not check out the business center, the fitness room, nor the restaurant, although the restaurant menu looked very tasty and I would have tried it if I was in town longer. Overall, I was very happy.

London getaway

The location of this hotel could not be better. It was close to the tube station, walking distance to Herrods, museums, and many eating establishments. Service was great and staff were wonderful. The rooms are very small by American standards but had everything we needed.

Would Definitely Stay Here Again

After reading the reviews on different websites, I was a bit apprehensive about the room size however, I was pleasantly surprised that the size of the room was more than adequate, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit small, but also more than adequate. The location was excellent and the staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
