it was very old place, smells like old 1800 barn, Rooms are very old, super small, they told me of upgraded me with better room but game be back side view with AC units , cant open window, toilets and bath so small, you have to remove clothe outside to make sure you don't hit your hands inside. for this price, i would definitely recommend better place. pictures are very misleading.

We got a good deal at this well-located hotel. My room - a single - was small but had everything I needed and was very comfortable for my stay. The staff I encountered were lovely and we enjoyed a nightcap in the lovely bar. Thanks for a great stay.

Disappointing. We’ve stayed at a number of Radisson Blu hotels in Europe and this was, by far, the worst. The room was very outdated, damaged furniture, tired looking decor. The shower was not properly cleaned. There was a buildup of dirt/mildew on the door tracks. The shower doors were a struggle to open and close. We chose not to have breakfast included when booking however, once we had checked in, it was easier to eat in the hotel than find somewhere local. We gave the restaurant hostess our room number on both mornings. At checkout, we were charged two different amounts. The front desk person refused to discuss the charge and we were billed a higher amount for the second day. Needless to say, we’ll book somewhere else for our next stay.

When I booked, the website said double or two twin beds. When I checked in, they said only a double bed was available. The front desk person named Madhu was very gracious and accommodating and solved the issue by giving us two single rooms. Great solution. The rooms were tiny and OK. Mine had a huge dodgy stain on the carpet. My friend ‘s had no refrigerator. Great location though.

Air conditioning too cold and would not turn off

The room was ok but the air conditioning was cold and could not be turned off. We complained to reception and were told maintenance would look into it but nothing happened so had 2 very cold days. The rest of the hotel was warm so clearly something wrong with the room system.

Paid £350 for a ‘family room’. It was small and dated. Given a sofa bed which was wonky, squeaked like hell and could feel springs. Mattress topper on double bed (would have expected a decent mattress in the first place). Smallest bathroom I’ve ever seen. I know it’s London and location is premium but this was not good value.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Staff was friendly but did not explain clearly how to ensure all lights would be in use (there is a key cards port that must be used). The room itself was acceptable, but in disrepair. The shades were not functional and half falling off. The shower doors were not functional and finishes need to be updated. The area around the hotel is the best part of the hotel. Walkable, near tourist sites, but also easy access to bus and tube lines to get you anywhere else in the city, including direct line for LHR.
