Radisson Edwardian Marlborough, Bloomsbury, London

Advantages: Elegant, affordable luxury hotel
Disadvantages: Only one...missing the usual range of toiletries

...We loved this hotel, ideally located for everything you'd need for a weekend visit to London. On the doorstep you have museums (we visited the British Museum to look at all the plunder of the Empire), theatres, shops (Oxford St), and all manner of touristy distractions! The hotel itself was beautiful, very elegant and tastefully decorated, with a marble lobby and very attractive artworks. As you move away form the lobby, the decor is less impressive, but still very nicely done in the Edwardian style. Our room was small but perfectly formed, with a large bed, dressing table, double wardrobe, tea and coffee facilities, mini bar and TV. An iron andironing board are provided, along with meanding kit and trouser press, all the things you'd expect. The room was very clean and the sheets a luxurious satin-cotton. Lovely...

The Radisson Edwardian New Providence Wharf

Advantages: Stunning hotel, big rooms, security is good
Disadvantages: Room Service and Reception staff don't care!

...The Radisson Edwardian New Providence Wharf is a luxury 4 star hotel. I stayed in this hotel just 2 weeks ago for one night at a price of £150 - I had this on Last Minute.Com as a Top Secret Hotel. I chose this hotel due to the close location to the O2. The location is spot on with fantastic views, little did I know that between the hotel and the O2 is a river! This meant 2 tube rides to get to the O2. The hotel is very glamouros, clean and has good security. Check in is at 2pm, I arrived at 1:55 and they wouldn't allow me to check in - bit mean I thought! Check out is at 11am. They did take my luggage from me while I sat in reception until 2pm. The rooms are very modern with a bathroom that has a shower and a nice deep bath. You have a flat screen tv, access to the internet (you have to pay) and a CD player, alarm...

Review of Radisson Edwardian Sussex Hotel, London

Radisson Edwardian Sussex Hotel

Advantages: Location, comfort, friendly
Disadvantages: Small bathroom, minibar prices

...regularly with work. The room is air conditioned and has a Bang & Olufsen TV which you can use to select CD's to listen to (at a price) and use the internet, along with the usual films. The wardrobe automatically lights up when you open the door, which is a nice touch, and also conceals the iron & board, trouser press and bath robes. The bathroom although small was exceptionally clean.The shower was powerful and just what you need before and after a long day in the City. The only gripe I have is the price of the drinks in the minibar, very expensive, but then when in London, you do expect to pay more for these services! The bar is modern and trendy and very enjoyable to sit and have a drink. There is a business service room, with free internet access and a printer which is ideal for doing some last minute research on places...

Review of Radisson Edwardian Manchester, Manchester

A great city hotel - shame about the size

Advantages: A wonderful hotel in a good location
Disadvantages: rooms are on the small side

...I am a huge fan of the Radisson SAS & Radisson Edwardian brand. I do like to try different hotels and when visiting London overnight, by far my favourite is Radisson Mayfair. On this particular visit however, I opted to try a different chocolate from the box so to speak... *the hotel* the selection of this hotel was not difficult. As mentioned above, I have a huge liking of all things Radisson and an especially soft spot for boutique hotels. As this establishment fits into both of those criteria and located in my favourite area of my favourite city, surely we were onto a winner? The Mountbatten is named after Lord Mountbatten, the famous favourite uncle of Prince Charles and actually includes memorabilia from Lord Mountbatten's family home. As soon as you arrive at the four star hotel, a concierge is promptly waiting to greet...

SERVICE WITH A SMILE

Advantages: AFFORDABLE LUXURY...
Disadvantages: ...ONLY STAYED FOR ONE NIGHT :(

...This is a review of The Radisson Edwardian Marlborough Hotel - an immaculate 4 star hotel situated in the Bloomsbury section of London. The world famous British Museum is but a hop, skip and a jump away (ok, maybe a 5 minute walk is more appropriate, but it?s very close by!) A stunning black exterior and chic interior certainly indicate an impressive hotel indeed and as you enter, a magnificent marbled lobby greets you... The reception staff and concierge are very friendly, well trained and courteous (always a bonus I find!). Christos and I received excellent service during our stay at the hotel (albeit for one night only!) The room we had was beautifully decorated with traditional English décor and elegant furnishings. As well as a hairdryer and a trouser press, there was also an ironing board, an iron, tea...

AKIN TO "Nice Legs, Shame about the Face"......

Advantages: Very convenient location, free high speed wireless internet throughout, comfortable beds
Disadvantages: Single rooms VERY small, food choice limited and expensive, doesn't strike me as the safest of areas at night

...OK, maybe not quite, but you'll hopefully get the gist A rare requirement to stay in central London; we had a location and needed to find a hotel nearby. I identified Jury's in Great Russell Street, unfortunately it was outside our budget, and we were offered two close alternatives the Russell Hotel or the Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth. Now, possibly naively, I had always associated Radisson with upmarket outlets, but had never stayed in any. Although we did have a drink in the R E Hampshire in Leicester Square, and at just under £10 for two cokes and a lemonade, well if money means quality, then it would be OK, wouldn't it? = LOCATION A grand looking historical looking building situated on Great Russell Street, Bloomsbury, location wise, you could do far worse. It is a stones throw away from...

Review of Radisson Edwardian Kenilworth Hotel, London

You certainly get what you pay for!

Advantages: fantastic hotel and facilities
Disadvantages: price

...The Radisson Edwardian Mayfair is a hotel that I have had the pleasure to stay at on a few occasions now. The hotel has stood in its current location since 1927, however it is only within the last decade that it has been owned by Radisson Edwardian and has recently undergone a large refurbishment. The refurbishment was said to have cost seventy million pounds and having stayed in the hotel before and after I honestly think that it was well worth it. My review is based on my last stay at this hotel. *The hotel - first impressions* The hotel is located in up market Mayfair and is in walking distance of Bond street, Piccadilly circus and Green park. There are excellent transport links and the location is just around the corner from Green Park tube station. On arrival in our taxi, we arrived outside the large and grand looking...

(Not quite) Wunderbar Vanderbilt......

Advantages: Great Location
Disadvantages: Strange smell in the room?

...I visited the Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt for 1 night in March 2004 after booking it for a birthday treat for my mom. The Hotel is located in Kensington, 1 minute away from Gloucester Road tube stop (Circle, Piccadilly & District Lines) so it benefits from a great location and is very easily accessible. The exterior of the hotel is very impressive & the lobby too, while small, is very pretty. What's more the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and we were even upgraded to a better room when they found out our trip was to celebrate my mother's birthday. They offered to make a reservation for us for dinner in the evening, and even called to remind us to put our clocks forward one hour (we stayed the weekend that the clocks in the UK change from GMT to BST). However, having stayed in many similar hotels in London...

Luxury it ain't

Advantages: Good location, Friendly staff
Disadvantages: Tiny rooms, Horrid bathrooms, TVs seems to be a bit dodgy

...I have had the misfortune of staying at the Edwardian Kenilworth a number of times now and I must say it would not my fisrt choice for the future. Location For me, the location was pretty good as it's central and not too far from tube stations (Tottenham Court Road a few minutes walk). It's very good if you want to go to the British Museum or the theatre as all are nearby. Foodwise, I have found it to be pretty good for coffee shops, restaurants and there are even a few min-mart style shops if you want little bits and pieces. I found it quite quiet at night which could be a little off putting, but I have seen no bother so felt safe enough wandering around late from my restaurant. Lobby area The lobby is pretty de rigeur - slick leather sofas and odd artwork and lots of lighting. I've always found check-in and check...
