I can't say enough about the staff. They were the ones that made our stay wonderful. Thoughtful, helpful, professional, kind, witty and the rest of the adjectives that I am at a loss to describe this wonderful group of people. The Radisson is lucky to employ such a marvelous staff. You can ask them for anything. If for some unknown reason that can't accommodate you, they know just the right person or place without any problems. Just simply wonderful. The hotel has a great location and is not far from anything you may desire. We also really enjoyed the lounge for drinks and relaxing with good music in the background. Very nice place. The room was comfortable too. But in the end, it was the staff that really made this stay worth it.

I already stayed at the Radisson Bloomsbury several times and I would always come back. The rooms always smell good, are clean and have a size that is o.k. (some might be small-ish, but if you travel for business you don't spend too much time in your room anyway). What makes this hotel great is its helpful stuff. I have never had to deal with unfriendly/unhelpful staff in this hotel - which is not granted even in 4-5 star hotels. I can fully recommend this hotel for business trips due to its good service and central location.

This is my 3. (or 4. I don't remember) visit at this hotel. Nice hotel with nice design all over. Standard rooms are small so this time I booked a Deluxe room. The reason why I booked a deluxe is that I got a almost £100 off (or just to get me to book the room fast?) the roomrate (for 2 nights) because I booked early at Radisson.com (but I could not cancel the reservation at this price, if I did I would not get any money back). So I payed £355 for 2 nights but still I think it was a little expensive. I will not book it again for this price. I think it's not worth it. And is the normal price for deluxe room really £450 for 2 nights? I don't think so!

Room was good size and nice designed. Bed was great! And I got a room with view of the courtyard. So it was a quiet room. And I could open window, so I used it as refrigerator for my water and beer as it was no space left in the minibar due to the automatic system in it (remove 1 item and put it back but you still have to pay for it). And minibar was not so cold either.

I didn't like that the tv was so high up. And the picturequality was not good. Reading light on the bed was bad, and the light switches next to bed was far away so I have to almost get out of bed to switch the lights off.

There is free WiFi at this hotel. But it was very very slow. And it didn't work several times. And it didn't work at all for many hours (3.30pm to 8pm!). I called reception. They could not do anything but advice me to buy internet via cable (!). This costs £14! Of course I didn't. Free WiFi is great but it isn't when it's not working. It worked later but is was very very slow. And often it just disconnected. Bad! I wonder why internet with cable is so expensive, oh of course it's working and it's faster!

I ordered a dish from roomservice. Lamb with mash. Mash was made from only 2 potatos so it was very little. Little meat too. And price was £22!! So it was very expensive and little food. But it was good.

Expensive room service and little food

ugly "refrigerator" tv-stand
loud noise from heater
no desk
very narrow bathroom door (why?)
if I turned off the lights with master switch next to bed still 1 light next to outsidedoor was on (!)


I am a little dissapointed. Next time I will book other hotel in London.

I stayed at Radisson Edwardian Bloomsbury Street for three nights in December 2011. The room was very comfortable. Can't really fault anything - even the heating and showers were working perfectly which is not always so in Britain. The staff was extremely helpful and the breakfast pretty good, too. The only minor complaint was the room service food that I did not really like when I had it one evening. The location is central but all I ever went to was the office nearby.
