Location is amazing, the staff is welcoming. Considering how loud it was in the streets the hotel does an amazing time at keeping rooms quiet. I was disappointed to have my room not properly cleaned during my 8 day staying. Staff only changed towels and removed garbage but never changed bedding or cleaned toilet or carpet. Also anyone can walk into the rooms so I had a random couple knocking and trying to open my room door. Other than that it was a good stay.

Check in staff were lovely! The room was great, spa facilities were great - we’d stay again. The fire alarm went off for a short period in the middle of the night; when we asked about this on check out little explanation and no apology was given, just that it was ‘out of their control.’ Very disruptive given there was no fire/cause to evacuate.

The problem with this hotel is that it needs a complete refurb. The heating system doesn’t work properly. I moved rooms in the hope it would be better but had to resort to using a portable electric heater which reception provided me with. The fact they have them easily to hand proves this is an ongoing problem. The shower water pressure is poor. The corridors are dark and the carpets worn. All the walls and furniture are scuffed and badly need replacing. The staff were trying so hard to remedy the problems I encountered but it was beyond them as the hotel is so flawed. The bed was oddly soft and seemed to dip. The curtains were stained. The location was excellent but in spite of this I will never stay at this or any other Radisson hotel ever again. I’ve been in much cheaper hotels which were better appointed and more comfortable.
