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.

Disappointed
The room was like a shoe box - was glad it was just me. Cannot imagine how 2 people would be able to navigate the non-existent floor space together. When I got in the window had been left open and it was freezing at 6pm. Couldn’t get warm. Toilet made a terrible noise every time it was flushed. Had to queue to check in - no upgrade available for my Gold membership. Told cleaners I didn’t need my room servicing but they came in anyway whilst I was out. Very expensive for what you get - not value for money. Disappointed

We checked in at 2:30 pm and were told the room wasn't ready. No problem there. Then when we got back to the hotel at 10:45, we were put in a truly awful room by the lift. The night desk then said the only thing they could do would be to put us in a smaller cheaper room - the difference has not yet been refunded, we had a miserable night, and indifference was what we were greeted with when we complained. Have stayed in many Radisson Blus and have never been treated so poorly

First stay with several issues
I have stayed here multiple times and have generally had few if any problems. Although this time had a few. The boiler broke so one morning I took an ice cold shower. It broke again two days later (during the day) which prevented me from having a work out because I knew I would be taking yet another ice cold shower that evening. Luckily it was fixed later that evening. Also, the fire alarm went off three times one evening but luckily all of them went off before I went to sleep (think the last one went off at 11pm). I don’t know what happened here. I also tried calling the front desk, guest services and the concierge multiple times but nobody ever answered making me wonder if my phone even worked (when I did come downstairs to talk to someone it seemed like it was fully staffed). I was offered a discount off my overall stay and hotels.com offered an additional credit. I didn’t give much of a fuss but I can see how others would have not let them off so easy. They did offer the opportunity for me to talk to the manager. Hopefully, all of this was a fluke since my earlier stays were fine. Food and location are excellent. Gym is small but you can also go to the larger gym at the other Radisson Blu across the street.

Poor
When we got to the room, no hot water, shower was broken so you had to hold lever to get water. They did come and fix it for the following day. Second day AC was not working,, it was a sauna in the room the rest of our stay. Last day we had not toilet paper, had to go look for some. Family room had a sofa bed but the springs were deep in your back! I need a vacation from my vacation! Concierge was very attentive and nice.

Terrible experience!!
This was terrible. First got a room that was extremely noisy, which the staff was well aware of. Then got a room where half of the window was missing, which resulted in close to no sleep due to it being cold and noise from the street. Staff was extremely unhelpful and unresponsive. The fact that the hotel claims to be 4 star is a joke!

Website pictures were deceiving, the room was very very small so you had to squeeze between the cabinet and bed. Had an issue with my room three nights out of five. The staff was nice but very slow and seemed to be short staffed and disorganized
