Room unclean in the room and bathroom.
Breakfast used to be great before the takeover. Now it is better value for money to use other places nearby.
Since the change in ownership you can tell they have cut a number of resources in the hotel by way of staff, products etc. The prices have increased and although convenient in terms of location there are better options nearby.

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.

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.

Surprisingly good breakfast.
Reasonable sized and very clean room. Surprisingly good breakfast. Checkin in process slow, air-con didn’t work, coffee machine didn’t work. Super-noisy from 7am onwards.

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.

Spoiled by room.
This hotel is fantastically located for shopping, dining and central London attractions. The people were very efficient and the reception area and bar were great. The room was very clean though a little cramped. The air conditioning in the room did not work properly as it kept pushing out hot air even though thermostat set to 16 degrees. Added to that the windows were sealed. All in all one of my most uncomfortable nights in London.

Solo female business traveller
Stay was overall okay, wouldn’t choose to stay again. Upon arrival at hotel I was told there was not a room for me at that location and a black cab was called to take me to another hotel location with a room available due to booking system issue. This was not ideal at rush hour and would be good to know this in advance so I could travel straight to the correct hotel. The lady at reception told me she had put me in a nice room after the above experience however the room was very basic, 1 single bed small room with cramped bathroom however small room can be expected in London hotels. Room was clean and bed was comfortable, definitely recommend refurb of the rooms not very homely or cosy.

Go somewhere else
Receptionist was rude upon check-in (particularly around the £50 pre authorisation required as “policy” on a credit card).
First room was filthy, bathroom was unusable due to strong odours emanating from the shower, shower tray filthy and carpet soiled. Was relocated to another room which whilst marginally cleaner, still had heavily stained carpets, was dated and was no bigger than a cupboard.
