Ok. Good location but expensive for what it was.
I marked down on comfort only because we had to ask to move rooms. First room had a loud constant unidentified noise which would have kept us awake. Rooms rather boring - all the same decor. Staff helpful enough. Cleanliness ok. Buffet breakfast ok. Location good for proximity to Royal Albert Hall etc. but overall expensive for what it was.

We booked at the Radisson for our week-long trip to London just a few minutes before we needed to check-in. We were so relieved and pleased with our stay. The staff is amazing and helpful and the hotel is beautiful. Our room was quiet and comfortable, the bathroom spacious and spotless, and we felt lucky that we had picked such a wonderful place. The location is absolutely perfect, walkable, and very close to the tube. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Breakfast is excellent. Staff are attentive and professional. The room is a bit small, the bed lumpy, but overall 5* experience.
