The room was too hot and the heating could not be turned down, and I mean it was seriously oppressively hot, window would not open. Breakfast was food and the service was excellent. The room was a little tired with old fashioned plug sockets but overall not a bad stay

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is very far from 4 star hotel standard. The hallway is very very narrow, it's a safety issue. To get into our room, we have to pass at least four doors in such narrow hallways that don't meet safety standard. The room is very outdated, super small, carpet is dirty, cabinets are broken. We stayed in a two twin bed room, one bed is against the wall, no electrical outlet near the bed. The whole room only has two electrical outlets that's at the bottom near the floor, far from the bed. The TV is on the table covering half of the mirror. Hair dryer is broken, no slippers until we requested it. Bathroom amenities dispensers could not pumped out the shampoo, soap and conditioner properly. Very disappointing stay. It's similar to a two star motel quality.

It was very tired. Very small room. Dark gloomy colours. The corridors were a maze. Staff were fine though not particularly friendly. Bar was fine too. Normally The Radisson Blu is a great chain - certainly wouldn’t return to this one.

We got a good deal at this well-located hotel. My room - a single - was small but had everything I needed and was very comfortable for my stay. The staff I encountered were lovely and we enjoyed a nightcap in the lovely bar. Thanks for a great stay.

Disappointing. We’ve stayed at a number of Radisson Blu hotels in Europe and this was, by far, the worst. The room was very outdated, damaged furniture, tired looking decor. The shower was not properly cleaned. There was a buildup of dirt/mildew on the door tracks. The shower doors were a struggle to open and close. We chose not to have breakfast included when booking however, once we had checked in, it was easier to eat in the hotel than find somewhere local. We gave the restaurant hostess our room number on both mornings. At checkout, we were charged two different amounts. The front desk person refused to discuss the charge and we were billed a higher amount for the second day. Needless to say, we’ll book somewhere else for our next stay.

When I booked, the website said double or two twin beds. When I checked in, they said only a double bed was available. The front desk person named Madhu was very gracious and accommodating and solved the issue by giving us two single rooms. Great solution. The rooms were tiny and OK. Mine had a huge dodgy stain on the carpet. My friend ‘s had no refrigerator. Great location though.
