Good location but the hotel itself is in a really poor condition. Rooms and general hotel need renovating drastically to warrant the 4 stars as it’s not like the service is 4 star either. Disappointing for the price paid.

Disappointing Stay - Small, Dated Room and Run-Down Decor Room Stayed In: 440 Duration of Stay: 1 night We recently stayed for one night at the Radisson Blu South Kensington, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing, particularly concerning the standard of our room and the general state of the hotel. The Room (440) Our room was extremely small, to the point of being cramped with very little space to move. Space & Storage: There was virtually no room to swing a cat, and storage was minimal—we noted the complete lack of a proper wardrobe. Cleanliness & Smell: The carpets in the room were visibly very dirty and the room had a distinct and unpleasant musky smell upon entry. Bathroom: The bathroom layout was problematic; we almost had to climb into the bath just to close the door, highlighting a poor design and lack of space. Hotel Condition & Atmosphere The room's condition appears to be symptomatic of the hotel's overall state. Dated and Worn: The hotel generally looks very dated. The carpets throughout the public areas are noticeably threadbare, and the decoration in many parts is quite poor and tired. False Impression at Reception: While the reception area looks more fresh and modern, this appears to give a false impression of the quality of the rest of the hotel.
