Friendly but overpriced for tiny room

Friendly reception & elegant premises. Extremely expensive for a tiny single room, with some features literally falling off. Exasperating muddle at breakfast second morning about whether it had been pre-paid. Other Radisson Blu hotels do better and offer better value for money.

Good staff but tired hotel

Hotel has fabulous location for the museums and south Kensington. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Hotel is dated, room was so small and so hit. Air con didn't work and one fan that sort of blew air round didn't help. Pillows were flat and minimal tea and coffee facilities. Hotel is like a maze and only 2 small lifts. It all just feels like it needs a face lift but it won't get it as the location will keep it busy
Emma, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room with a great view! Love the bathroom tub! Good bedroom! Lovely service! Will be back in a couple of days ❤️

Great location for Royal Albert Hall

Great location for Royal Albert Hall. Short walk to underground and also near range of restaurants. Room was spacious and clean (some paint marks on beige carpet did stand out. Staff v friendly and quick check in. First hotel i have stayed at where you are issued 2 cards-one for room and one for lift/stair access. Would stay again.

Good location and service. Poor rooms

AC not working despite complaints and trying to fix. Drilling outside room Kept me awake when trying g for Siesta
Vivek, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would stay again

Location is ideal for business in South Kensington, and great for tourists looking for home base. Three Tube stops nearby, Gloucester Road the closest. Walking to Royal Albert, Hyde Park, V&A, High Street Kensington. Hotel breakfast was ok - better warm options on request. Staff are super kind and helpful. Room was large, not common in the UK! Gym was small but plenty of equipment to get in a workout.
