Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t say enough about the amazing staff at the Radisson Blu, South Kensington. They always had smiles and answered my questions. I accidentally left a few items and they kept everything safe until I returned a few days later. This is my second time staying here and it’s the perfect location; across the street from the Glouster Road tube station, Boots Pharmacy and a Waitrose grocery store; it’s also within walking distance of great restaurants and Hyde Park. The next time I’m in London, I will definitely stay here again."

"All good except: Wait staff should serve sugar, spoon and napkin with coffee, I had to ask for sugar, and then ask again for spoon Also cocktail was served over brimming with crushed ice. This made glass and table wet and dripped on my clothes. Please serve drink in an appropriately sized glass and ensure outside of glass is dry. Also please have a brief instruction near temperature control on how to change settings. Front desk staff were very helpful!!!!"
