rooms way too small

While the hotel was in very good condition and the service was also good, the accommodations vs the price was not acceptable.

Nicely renovated hotel in great location

Just spent 2 nights at Radisson Edw. Blooms. Excellent service from a very friendly staff who upgraded us to accomodate extra bed for adult child - when extra (which was an inflatable mattress) wouldn't stay inflated, they gave her her own room. Had king size room that was fairly spacious and comfortable. Lobby is very nice and welcoming. Upstairs, black walls in elevator lobby not to my taste. Dark colors in room not best choice, given only one window in a corner. Bathroom almost as big as room, but odd to have drawers and open closet in bathroom. Overall, design of rooms not the best, but quality, location and service are terrific.

Not Worth the Price!

This hotel is expensive, even by London standards. I found it really surprising that a room listed as a "Deluxe King" did not even have a chair in the room!! There was a king size bed, a night stand, and a small refreshment cabinet with fridge. The bathroom was very acceptable, but even there, the soap and shampoo was in large dispensers. No bars of soap or individual amenities.

Good location, lacking in service

I reserved a "Queen Superior" room and on check-in was told I had a "Queen Standard" room. I questioned this, and the desk clerk said, "Oh, yes, it's a Superior room," without making any changes whatsoever in my record. The room I got was extremely small--not much room around the bed. The hair dryer was located in a drawer in the closet, and permanently plugged in there, so no way to dry my hair in front of the bathroom mirror. For some reason the hotel restaurant was not serving dinner on my first night and I asked the concierge for a recommendation in the neighborhood, telling him that I had walked a lot that day and wanted a good British pub in the immediate vicinity. He pointed me in the direction of a street and told me that there were lots of really good pubs there, but there were not. I ended up walking quite some distance, and still did not find anything acceptable. The hotel has obviously been upgraded recently, and it's within short walking distance of the British Museum and a couple of Tube stations. The price I paid was a good value, all things considered. But it's a pretty soulless business-type hotel, and I would not stay there again, especially given their lack of customer service.

Would stay there again

First of all, it's a perfect location if you want to be near the center of London. We had such a great room, it definitely made an impression when we opened the door. It was larger than I was expecting, too. The staff was hit and miss; some people were very helpful, and some ignored us completely.
