Not the usual standard ofna Raddison prob due to the age of the building but did the job and was super convenient for our show at the Royal Albert Hall. Staff were friendly and breakfast great. Room a little tired and basic for the price. Also struggled to get the temperature right. Overall it was ok.

Small dingy room - A/C was noisy but had to use as room was hot. Hall areas behind the flashy front areas need both a good clean and some maintenance Would not use again. I forgot how bad and expensive London hotels are compared to Asia and Europe.
