Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbilt Hotel - London

great location - near Underground. Reception personnel very nice and helpful. Found hotel layout a bit confusing. Only 1 small elevator in service - so not handicapped friendly.

The rooms are small but clean. It was very close to the Gloucester Tube stop with access to the Piccadilly, District and Circle lines.

This hotel's location is wonderful--just across from the Gloucester Road Tube stop, with plenty of supermarkets, fast food and restaurants nearby, and the Victoria and Albert just up the road. The public areas are handsome, with a comfortable bar-restaurant. I have stayed at the Radisson Edwardian several times: rooms tend to be tiny, so we reserved […] a triple room for the two of us. The room was indeed substantially larger, but there were only 2 small drawers, no shelves, a closet less than a yard wide. No bedside lamps, a postage stamp-sized bedside shelf mostly occupied by a large phone and a bible, on-and-off internet access, a single narrow shelf in the bathroom. Just nowhere to put anything. Twice during the week, the phone emitted a prolonged screechy weird alarm signal during the night for no reason anyone could offer. All of this is consistent with prior stays--nothing basically wrong with the hotel, just a host of small annoyances which could easily be remedied. Read more

Needs renovating. Uncomfortable beds. Reasonably priced, though.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very near to tube station, Kensigton Gardens and some of the museums. I had a single room, which was small but perfectly adequate for one person. Only one elevator so getting in and out (from the 4th floor) took a little while, but a second one seemed to be under repair.

Our stay at the Radisson Vanderbilt was great. When our return flight home got cancelled they were geniunely concerned and were able to give us the same room for an extra two nights. The staff was friendly and made us feel at home. The only negative is they were in the process of renovating an elevator which meant there was only one small elevator that […] was in use. But other than that we had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Read more

This is a nice hotel in a great location. The only negative is that there is only 1 elevator operating at the moment, it is very slow, and it was a long walk to my room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was my second stay at this hotel. It provides an excellent value for a business traveler who needs a hotel around Kensington. This is not a modern place, the rooms generally are quite small (although there are larger ones available), the service is excellent, the location is great, near by two groceries, a pharmacy chain, the Underground, a Starbucks, […] and a decent steak place..... all within two-three blocks walk. They have some nice touches, like an excellently styled bathroom, top quality towels and linens, and free wireless. Read more

The location is great. Beds in our room were not good. Radisson Blu in Edinburgh had great beds. Also the bath was so small no place to set anything down. The bath flooded the floor no matter what we did. They even had a special mat to keep your feet dry. Also no light at the desk so could not really use it since dark. Fix the shower, better bed and […] a lamp and room would meet a basic standard. Even by London standards not a great value for the cost Read more

Great value and centrally located. Tube stop literally steps away.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was small but perfectly fine. Well-appointed and comfortable. Around the corner from the Glouchester tube stop so very convenient. Also right down the street were the V & A museum and the Natural History museum. Only issue was the electronic card key. I had to change it every day, sometimes twice a day, because it simply stopped opening the […] door after one or two uses. The hotel is aware of the issue and trying to deal with it. Read more

This is a typical London row homes that have been converted into a hotel. A maze of halls , stairs and lifts. You feel like a mouse in a maze trying to find the cheese. Good accommodations with a responsive staff. First room assigned had no heat. An attempt was made to fix but didn't work. Propmtly moved to another room. General Manager of hotel sent […] letter apologizing. That was nice but could have comp. the breakfast we had while waiting to change rooms. Overall a nice hotel in a good location. Read more

DO NOT stay here if you have a family. They have one elevator, it takes about 15 minutes to get up to your room (the stairs are even more inconvenient. We had to make two trips in the elevator because our 4 bags wouldn't fit in the TINY lift. The staff was not very friendly. The air in the room was horribly dusty; my computer and drinking glass were […] covered in less than an hour. We had a "family" room and it was smaller than a regular hotel room. Our mini fridge didn't work, and repeatedly complaining to the staff did nothing to correct it (we were there 4 days and complained the first day). Also, the bathroom is also TINY (to be expected in an older building I suppose) but the fan didn't work properly so it was like a sauna in there within about a minute of starting your shower. The location of this hotel is okay, but not within walking distance of much, except the Natural History Museum. And I'm almost positive the bar downstairs dilutes their liquor. I ordered a jack and coke double, and couldn't taste the alcohol, despite it being 10 pounds. Read more

A good hotel in a excellent location!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It is a nice place whit all comforts, where you could spend even a longer period of time. The lounge/ bar area is not big but beautiful and cosy, whereas the dining room is just functional, and definitely ugly. A lot of nice old paintings hang on the walls in the corridors, staircases and generally in all the common spaces, and it helps in creating […] a great atmosphere. Staff is competent and welcoming. My room was small but well equipped. The only annoying thing is something which is unfortunately common to a number of hotels in London: windows cannot be opened at all. In many hotels, however, it is at least possible to open the windows a little bit, and this helps a lot. The location is great, since it is so close to good museums, tube station and one can find nice restaurants in Old Brompton Rd and other streets around. Read more

Rooms small but tidy and comfortable. Service was outstanding. Hotel located 1minute walk from Gloucester Tube Station - very convenient to everything. Would stay at hotel again.

Despite paying Hotel.com we discovered they also charged us for the same room!

all is good, rooms a bit too small comparing to other London Radisson hotels

I usually stay at the Gloucester Millennium around the corner when staying in London, but I think I found a new favorite. The location is fabulous - 1/2 block from the tube station (will take you to/from Heathrow, coffee, grocery store, Boots pharmacy. The hotel is gorgeous and comfortable, with a cozy bar area. I stayed in a room with a double bed […] and the room was a good sixe - not the typical tiny room found in so many European hotels. Read more

Hotel of extremes - bottom line not recommending Very well decorated, clean and has superb location. But, the room was very small and extremely uncomfortable, I kept hit myself on any move in the room, the bathroom size and setting is unfriendly designed. I doubt if other hotels at that cost and star level rent such small rooms with such a small bed […] as a double bed room. The staff is painfully inefficient and failed to fulfill the most basic questions I asked for. Their attitude was like if they are doing a favor. Read more

I rented the cheapest and smallest room in the hotel. This would not have been a problem but there was a vent/fan in the ceiling that was loudly clicking and clanking constantly without cease and I couldn't put up with the noise. I called the desk and they upgraded my room to a larger room and did not charge me extra, but it was much more comfortable […] (warmer) and didn't have the awful noise. The hotel is a bunch of old converted town houses so you have to walk through many narrow and winding corridors which reminded me of what this area was like 40 years ago when these homes were all separate bed and breakfasts. The carpets are updated colors from that period but similar patterns...perfectly clean and comfortable, excellent wireless availability free. TV wasn't too good, hard to work and couldn't find any decent channels...no guide to availability of channels and made it hard to use, but very convenient location, able to walk many places like Victoria and Albert Museum and tube stop within 100 years, also many grocery stores and breakfast places. I would definitely consider staying there again for the price which was really cheap compared to other rooms in London - just be wary of the rooms with the very cheapest prices. Read more

The location is very convenient to Imperial College and the museums around South Kensington. The hotel itself is charming, and the lobby/bar/restaurant area is very nice. Breakfast was good, as was the service there. The elevator is tiny and slow, and using the stairs while carrying luggage is not really an option. I had a Standard room which, while […] clean, was also tiny. It wouldn't have worked had I needed to spend more than one night there. Also, the room key card kept malfunctioning - or perhaps it was the lock itself - to the point of being extremely annoying. Even the staff had trouble using it. Whether this reflects a general lack of keeping things in good repair or not, I can't say. But I suggest getting at least two key cards. Despite these problems, I would use the hotel again and book a larger room. Read more

This hotel was great- They treated me like a king. The room was a little small, but it was still a great hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was just great .. staff .. services .. location.. The only drawback is the elevator .. long time waiting to use it, basically one small old elevetor is not enough for the whole hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I've stayed at other Radisson Blus before and this hotel is terrible. Staff is surly and unpleasant. Rooms are expensive and loud. We had to move rooms once because they couldn't fix our toilet or heating. Restaurant staff is the worst. They overcharged a colleague of mine on their bill and then accused her of lying about it. Unbelievable. I would NEVER […] stay in this hotel agian for many reasons!! Book elsewhere. Read more

Other than the size of the room being a bit small and the halls being a bit difficult to maneuver with luggage (all of which is pretty common in London and to be expected), I thought the hotel was quite lovely. The staff were kind and accommodating and the room was in good order. Most importantly, I loved the location -- very convenient to the underground, […] etc. Only negative was the gym was being renovated and that was NOT disclosed on their expedia page when I booked. Might have chosen a different hotel had I known. Overall, great. Would definitely stay here again. Read more

While the elevator worked infrequently and the room was quite small (as you would expect in central London), the hotel was charming and the staff accommodating and friendly. Can't beat the location in Kensington, with an easy walk to the Tube station and all kinds of attractions, including Royal Albert Hall. Would stay there again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was just OK. They seems somewhat distant and not so friendly. The hotel air condishing - heating was bad. The hotel was too cut up and confusing to get around

What a superb botique hotel...other than not enough front desk staff...the restaurant had great prices...the bar had great prices...the room was great. They had a mini business center...the tube was literally across the street and I got to the airport in less than 45 minutes for under L. 5 I believe!!! THAT was the best thing. It was a little like a […] maze to get through the small hallways to the hotel elevator but I simply loved this property!....what a cute hotel. Full breakfast included. FULL...with everything and it was great! Very trendy and cute and will definately stay there again!!! It had a cool vibe and was in a great location. Read more

My son just moved to London. The hotel was a five minute walk to his flat, and also a five minute walk to the university. Very nice place. The room was the smallest I've ever been in, having no place for my suitcase...had to keep some items on the floor under the nightstand. Front desk is not very good. My room was burning up, they told me what to do […] rather than have maintenance come. Got home that night and it was a sauna in the room. Called again. The maintenance tech came by....he shared they should have had him come up then - he had to go into the ceiling to the unit because the heat was turned on! Front desk staff did not seem to be very knowlegeable about the area, and too many did not speak English very well. That said, the location was great, the room and hotel were nice, and a good value.

Radisson Blue is really well located and is near to train station, there are few nice pubs and restaurants in Hotel area. In few minutes of walking you can get to museums that are really interesting for children and adults. Hotel looks really impressive outside and inside, but we expected more from rooms. Lobby of the hotel is new but rooms could be […] better. But in general, I would recommend this hotel to anyone. Read more

This is our second stay at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Vanderbuilt. The room was a little larger this time than last. While the room did not have a great view, it was very quiet. I always recommend this hotel because of the outstanding service and location. It's a 1/2 block from Gloucester road station making for easy access to all attractions. Plenty […] of restaurants nearby. Walking distance to the Natural History Museum, The Victoria & Albert Museum and Kensington Palace. Read more
