"comfortable and clean"  by C from Bedfordshire

Room was a little small, but very clean and comfy. Could have done with a few more toiletries. Breakfast was excellent.

"A great central hotel"  by D from Reading

This hotel was in a great position between Oxford Street and Covent Garden so really central. My only real complaint was the bathroom had no bath just a shower cubicle which was usual and a little dissappointing as they couldn't move us to another room with a bath as they said they were full. The breakfast was great though!

"PRETTY GOOD OVERALL"  by c

I was not too happy when I realized that twin room in the UK means 2 singles, when I checked with the front desk the chap stated that all 13 Edwardian Radisson Hotels are furnished this way!! Room was very small, I suppose this was why we had a portable TV as well. Room was clean and comfortable though. Breakfast was splendid.

"Great once upgraded; fab location!"  by J from Cardiff

We booked a double room but had been allocated a pleasant but very small twin with a bathroom you couldn't swing an anorexic hamster around in. When I complained we were upgraded to a very nice King room. Service was fantastic apart from noisy cleaners banging in the early afternoon (the corridors are a bit narrow). Lift is too small and slow, especially when on the 6th floor; could do with another one. Otherwise lovely hotel, good breakfast, well decorated, helpful staff and fantastic location for West End, Soho, Holborn, Oxford Street.
