Good trip, handy for museums and close to tube station. Don’t bother with the fruit platter, overpriced and some fruits inaccessible as no knife privided, or even not very fresh and therefore inedible.

We were welcomed by Alana who was attentive and efficient. All staff we had contact with were polite & helpful. The only minor issue was the hot buffet breakfast was not hot! Otherwise an excellent experience & we would definitely return.

Disappointing Stay

Hotel is very dated and shabby. The heating did not work in my room and it was very cold. I booked two nights under separate reservation numbers (as I added a second night on at a later date). On returning home I discovered have been charged an extra £60 for not checking out in between?! Despite staying in the same room both nights. I am trying to sort this with Radisson customer services currently, who are most unhelpful. On day 2, I also had to request my room was cleaned because on returning to the hotel late afternoon it had not been touched and I had no clean towels or cups. This meant I had to vacate the room again for an hour, making me late to an evening event I had planned. On a plus side the reception staff were absolutely wonderful and are a credit to the hotel.

The location is amazing. Very close to the underground station. There are stairs to access the building (approx 8-12?) so if you have mobility issues it might cuz a problem. The hotel is a maze and the elevator is very small. The rooms are also quite small as well. The breakfast was absolutely wonderful and definitely worth adding to your stay. If you don't mind the small inconveniences (small rooms and stairs) it is a great hotel in a very safe and great location. I would stay here again if I was returning to London. The gym was also very nice. It does have a very small fridge if you are looking for a fridge.

This property is gorgeous and the room and bathroom were updated and clean. David at the front desk was very professional and hospitable and helped with my baggage. The bar area was fun and they made great drinks. This is located right by the metro so made it easy to get around town. I’ll definitely be back!

Good but not great

The hotel in itself was ok with a nice enough restaurant. But the room didn’t have a table and was way too compact. The bed was very close to the window with almost no space to get to the window.

Great stay!

I was really pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Yes it feels dated and in need of modernising in a few areas, but I hear that's coming this year. The corridors are a bit of a maze too, so would be annoying if you had lots of heavy cases The staff were incredibly friendly, the bar is a good place to hang out, and the Premium room I opted for was big and spacious. The only thing was that anyone over five foot eight would struggle with the shower as it's tiny Other than that, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
