Thank you Radisson Vanderbilt, we spent 3 unforgettable nights at your hotel. This is a very familiar hotel.Everyone knows you after a day and they remember you all the time. Everyone is smiling at you and they always help you, not just try to do that. The room was also excellent, master bed and a lot of space in the room. I really liked the design of the hotel, one of the ladies, Stacey at reception also explained us the history of the hotel.
The restaurant is also nice and they have good food, we had dinner 2 times there and the breakfast was super!! Summarizing everything I really advise you to stay in this hotel also if you want to stay near to the center of the city.

We stayed here with a group of friends, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was a bit chilly couldn't seem to get the heating to work although didn't get time to call anyone about it. bathroom tiny, had to sit on the toilet sideways as the sink and the proximity to the wall meant you couldn't get your legs out front, but it was clean and beds comfy enough. Overall good value for london if you can get a good rate as we did.

I stayed here in May 2011 for a whole week, having booked a single room. The first room they took me to appeared to be a cupboard with a single bed crammed into it - i was exhausted after a long flight and hauling my luggage through all the hallways and stairs but went down and asked for something bigger. later in the day i was able to move to another single room which had enough room to stand up in and get changed, but if i opened my suitcase on the floor it literally took up the entire room....i was told that was it for my type of booking.
for a whole 7 days this was a bit of a nightmare. i mentioned it on my customer survey afterwards and suddenly got a 'we weren't aware you had a problem, we would have moved you' email!!!
seriously, nobody would be able to stay comfortably for an entire week in those tiny single rooms.
i saw into the double and twin rooms, they were much more spacious (granted in London, rooms are always smallish).
the hotel itself is lovely and old; the corridors are a huge narrow maze and with one tiny elevator there are long waits to get up and down.
the location is fantastic, staff seemed nice and helpful (other than the room issue) and i didn't mind the age of the furnishings, seemed modern and functional.
overall i think it's a good hotel, just AVOID the single rooms.
(and i think it's safe to say, you can ignore all the positive reviews on this site by people with 1 review to their name - they all look highly suspicious to me....)

The staff were lovely and very attentive and it was a nice room. Sadly the heating and the towel rail were not working on the coldest night of the year and while the housekeeper brought a secondary heater immediatly it was inadequate for the room. There was a flimsy open vent in the low celing from which a cold breeze filtered directly onto the bed leading to rather a chilly uncomfortable night. The buffet breakfast was perfectly adequate aNd tasty.
