My husband and I arrived at 10:30am on a 90 degree day in August (unusually high temp) after flying overnight. The staff recognized that we were badly in need of a shower. Our room was scheduled to be ready in the afternoon so the staff off us a chance to store our luggage and shower in their gym facility in the basement. That was over and above our expectation. Wonderful!

There are no plugs next to the bed which these days is a necessity. I was advised that no rooms in the whole hotel have plugs next to the bed. There were also no plugs next to the mirror. The air conditioning was noisy. Called reception constantly but nobody answered. I expected a lot more for a 4*.

Hot Water
The hotel's location was very convenient. The rooms were clean. If only the plumbing worked, we would give it a high rating. Alas, in a 7 day stay, we had hot water only on the last night. Also the water pressure in the bathroom sink started out weak and eventually weakened to zero. We were told a someone would come to look at it, but no one did, so we asked for a different room and were given one with proper running water in the sink. But no hot water. When we complained that a supposedly 4-star hotel ought to provide hot water, we were told they were working on it and promised we would get a 10% refund on what we paid. We don't believe that 10% is adequate and so far haven't gotten anything. As noted, other than the plumbing, everything was ok, but when you pay for a supposedly 4-star hotel, you expect hot water daily.

Great hotel
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the service was fab. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the area. I’ve already recommended it to friends and family, and I would happily return myself.

We had an awful stay at not one but two Radisson Blu properties across the street from each other. The first, Kenilworth, had no hot water the first day we checked in after a full day of travel, so we took cold showers before dinner and theater. It was supposed to be fixed but the following morning, again no hot water, cold shower #2. That afternoon, still no hot water so we asked to be moved across the street. We moved to Tottenham Ct on the second floor, only to discover upon returning that there was no A/C on the entire floor. Mind you no mention from staff upon the change. So we packed up and moved again to the fourth floor where we were promised there would be hot water & A/C... well, it came on for a minute and then shut off with an error message. We had maintenance up to the room three times over the next two days and NEVER got A/C working. So we slept with the single shaft window open and our travel fan. NOT Comfortable. Finally, the bathroom, with no window, had a towel rack heater that no one seemed to be able to turn off, so yes, generating heat in a room without A/C. Oh yes, also the Do Not Disturb light on the door would not turn on... What did the staff do for us? ONLY after us complaining and asking multiple times??? One free breakfast and a round of drinks in the bar!!! Hmm, compensation for a miserable $1,200 three night stay??? I DON'T THINK SO. Never again Radisson...

The location is convenient. Staff was professional and courteous. Room was clean and tidy. However, I did request 2 beds and there was only 1 in the room. Other than that, the stay was good.

Well situated hotel for the theatres
Reception clean large smelled nice and staff friendly and the a quick check in, the room while very dated was clean and had all the required amenities. The air con however was noisy and had to switch off as the room was cold- view from the hotel windows disgusting as it was an internal window not facing a street. Breakfast wasn’t good. While the room was lovely and there were a lot of staff to offer tea and coffee the breakfast on offer the bare minimum with only sloppy scrambled eggs Ed th er than boiled and poached . It was only as we were finishing breakfast I heard a different waiter tell the neighbouring table they could order eggs . Quite infuriating - also the bacon was streaky cheap and the hashbrowns greasy . So breakfast wasn’t worth the money as there is a restaurant outside the hotel that offers breakfast all day long for half the price .
