Not the usual Radisson standard.
The room was mostly as described and was very clean. There were a few issues with room. The shower was missing half a door and was very mouldy. Although the room itself was clean, the carpet in the room was coming away from the skirting’s and everything felt a little poorly finished. If you turned on your own air con the noise was too loud to sleep- If you opened your window and someone else had their air in on it was too loud to sleep. Unlike most Radisson group hotels I have stayed in before, the walls are really thin and you can hear every noise from the corridor and adjoining rooms - certainly not helpful for a good nights sleep. Given the room was been prepaid, check in took an age.

Disappointed
Room was amazingly small with a very tiny window and bed linen was slightly dirty. During our stay we were never given a room key as the key system was down which was very annoying. We had to ask a member of staff to escort us every time we went back to the room. During breakfast we asked for two fried eggs which didn’t arrive for 25 minutes which was no good as by then we had finished our breakfast ! The server could not really speak English so couldn’t understand why we no longer wanted them. Stopped here before and found it to be very good, but this time it was appalling.

This hotel was like Fawlty Towers. The entire stay the room key cards weren’t working so you had to wait by reception for someone to walk you to your room causing delays. Then there was no electricity on check out day for hours so we had to shower in the dark etc. apparently they had no maintenance to look at it until 10am!

Good location. Room was ok, but a little grubby in places. Soft furnishings in need of updating. Restaurant was fine, food ok but not excellent. Restaurant was very cold at both dinner and breakfast time. Nothing wrong with this hotel, but nothing special either.

Check-in took a long time, there were not enough staff for the amount of people checking in. The hotel was incredibly warm and the temperature control in the room did not work meaning the window had to be fully open all night

The room was very old and small, there was dirt in a towel in the bathroom, the telephone did not work, there was no WiFi information in the room, the tv was pixelated and could not watch properly, the aircon did not work, had the same temperature coming out of it no matter what heat I put it on, and that was very warm. Besides that, the breakfast was good and the staff was excellent! Shame about the poor condition of the room. Not expected from a hotel like Radisson, very disappoint and I don’t think I will be staying with Radisson again.

Great location
We have stayed at this hotel before as the location is fantastic for the theatres. It’s clean and beds are comfortable. However, this time the restaurant had changed and was not as good. The staff were very miserable! Not friendly as on previous visits. Will we stay again, yes as the location is walking distance of Covent Garden and Oxford St. as well as the west end theatres.

The room was clean, but it’s a bit tired, needs a face lift. The windows were not double glazed as you could feel the wind coming in. No mirror where you would dry your hair.
