room service didn’t answer the phone - tried several times. had to go down to order a sandwich. Bar doesn’t sell crisps or nuts Christmas dinner was absolutely disgusting. Roast potatoes were anaemic- i think they’d been roasted for two minutes max. sprouts like bullets. pigs in blankets looked like they’d been boiled. horrendous

Superior room was a basic bedroom. Clean and adequate but expected more. No fridge or minibar, poor signal on tv (picture and sound kept breaking up) and the safe at floor level is not easy to access when you’re in your mid seventies. Ordered room service meal - after an hour phoned reception to be told that order had not been passed on to kitchen. Overall, disappointed with the hotel - expected better when paying over £200 per night.

Kettle didn’t work well. Heating kept resetting to high and very time we entered the room. Charged for the car park for a function where it was free. Staff very “not my problem” speak with reception. Breakfast had to ask for multiple items to be replenished from foot to crockery.

Home

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
No shower gel or shampoo (not even hand wash which is simply unacceptable these days) in the fitted bottles attached to shower and sink areas, didn’t notice until I was getting washed which was very inconvenient, rooms not maintained very well, empty receptacles which is quite unnecessary in hotel rooms these days, more like a budget motel room, dated and needs attention, horrendously over priced for a cheap dated room with very basic refreshments and tired room, worst Radisson I have ever stayed in, although staff were fabulous both at reception and the bar. Understand you’re paying for location, but no Radisson usual flare, thin old pillows, slim single beds, towel, although clean, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were purchased circa 1990s.

The hotel was in a lovely location, but not a great experience overall. We had a draughty room as the window mechanism was broken and so it could not be closed. One of the lamps also had damaged cable - obviously not checked in a while. The food in the restaurant was mediocre, but the restaurant staff were friendly at least. Guests deserve a better experience from the Radisson.
