Kameshnie, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Our check-in was easy and seamless, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. However, our room was unacceptably warm for most of the evening, despite a technician confirming that everything was in working order. The walls of the bathroom were also alarmingly dirty in a few spots. There was also no printed information of any sort in the room that we could find-no area guides, no information about hotel services or amenities, or anything else. We tried the dedicated channel on the tv for that information as well, but didn’t find it there either.
Angel, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Great views but a stain on the Raddison brand. Very tired rooms and the restaurant is a disaster. Had bug in bed in first room. Tepid food had to be returned in Tabu. Could only offer vanilla ice cream and Brown sauce "out of stock". Laughing stock more like. Pleasant front desk staff though.

6/10 Okay

Not usual standard of a Radisson.

The photos of this hotel make it look far better than in person to be honest! There were signs in the lift advising of 'soft refurbishment' being undertaken which would have been helpful to know upon making the reservation. Not what we expect from the Radisson brand. The photo shown of the bar area is not what we saw - there was a make-shift bar in the corner and a large area with no furniture in so we can only assume that they had ripped out the main bar as part of the refurb. It was very odd and looked a bit abandoned/empty so not a comfortable or relaxing environment to spend an evening in.
Jo, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Hotel services for site seeing has none. B/fast option was just ok.
Una R, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

spent an overnight stay here and the place was super clean , there was a vast selection at breakfast and despite arriving late we were still able to get food from the room-service menu staff were really helpful both on arrival and throughout the stay and even accommodated our 2 rooms together (next door/same floor)
Freya, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Grear location, very friendly staff
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Horrible new bathroom trend in hotels

There is a new trend in hotel design worldwide which this hotel follows and it needs to stop. Not having proper walls and doors in bathrooms within the room. There is no privacy since the walls are now made of cristal so all the bedroom is illuminated by the bathroom, and the doors don't shot so noise and smell flow into the bedroom effortlessly. There is no way of going into the bathroom and not waking up other people in the room. It's a nightmare when traveling with friends and work colleagues! This Radisson Blue feels like in need of a full renovation.
