  • We were staying at this hotel the night before my wife was due to give birth via an induction at UCH. Firstly they gave us an upgrade due to our situation. This was much appreciated. Secondly on the day we were due to check out , we were delayed so they let us have the room until 2pm and then offered it to us for the same lower rate that we booked a smaller room for encase we had to stay another night. Very understanding and helpful management which was much appreciated. Great customer care. Well done.

  • The location is the best, central and close to amenities. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful when you have any issue. Only reason I gave 3 starts to sleep quality is the noice outside - sometimes it’s impossible to sleep well - I would have expected the noise isolation to be better at Radisson given its location and, price of the rooms and the busy area it’s located. Overall great though fantastic hotel.

    • Dear kika385, It is heartening to read your kind words about our central location and our amazing staff. We are indeed very proud of our team and their dedication to providing exceptional service to all our guests. Your experiences are a testament to their hard work. Our location in London's vibrant Fitzrovia is indeed something we cherish. Being within walking distance of cultural hubs like Covent Garden, Soho, and Oxford Street, as well as a variety of renowned theatres including the Dominion Theatre and the Shaftesbury Theatre, is one of the unique advantages our guests enjoy. However, we acknowledge your concerns about the noise levels. Our hotel is situated in a lively neighborhood, and while many guests appreciate the vibrance of the location, we understand that it might not be ideal for everyone. It's regrettable to hear that it affected your sleep quality during your stay. We strive to ensure our guests have a pleasant experience, and we regret any inconvenience caused. In spite of the noise issue, we are delighted that you found our hotel fantastic overall. We look forward to welcoming you back and ensuring your next stay is even more enjoyable. Warm regards, Tzoulian,Night Receptionist.

  • "LOVE THE HOTEL-HATE THEIR RESTAURANT (Steak and Lobster)"

  • The staff at the hotel was exceptionally friendly. Great Family room. Very comfortable and clean. Location was good. Concierge was extremely knowledgable of London which made for an enjoyable trip with the kids. However, their onsite restaurant, Steak and Lobster, is a poor representation of the hotel itself. The food was terrible much like their attitudes. Spend your money anywhere but that restaurant. NOTE they are not kid friendly...the reality is they are not friendly in general.

  • Had read some variable reviews of this hotel but so glad we didn’t let them put us off! We arrived about 3 hours before check in to deposit our suitcases and were told our rooms were ready so could check in early. Very friendly and professional member of staff checked us in (forget her name but her badge said she was a trainee). The rooms were spacious and clean and exactly what would’ve expected from a hotel like this. No problem with the lifts at all. Stayed three nights and will be making this our go to hotel in London in the future. Great location too, easy access to busses and the tube network.
