Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt - London, United Kingdom 

"Great location!"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
The hotel is 1 block from the Gluecere exit. (I'm not sure of the proper spelling) WE LOVED IT! The price is a little high but the location, near by restaurants, 4 min walk to Hyde park, and great service made it worth the penny. The service was excellent. The rooms are small, but the decor is nice. They have FREE internet for their guest. It came in handy serveral times. My only complaint about this hotel is the long, maze like hall ways. They converted 10 houses into a hotel. There is a series of doors you have to go through to reach you room. If you can, try to get a room near the main elevator. You'll be enjoy your stay if you do.

Highly recommend a stay at the Radisson Edwardian

The hotel was conveniently located in a beautiful area of S. Kensington. In walking distance from the Tube, and numerous museums. It was quaint, clean, the staff was very accommodating and helpful in recommending terrific restaurants and sites. The rates affordable, and well worth the money. I look forward to staying there again, and will recommend it to my friends. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

Good bed - but not the greatest of rooms

I recently had a one night stay at this hotel for business - location is great, right opposite Gloucester Road tube station and very accessible. Lobby area, bar and restaurant are very modern and really nice to chill out in. The room however was something else: I had been upgraded from a single to a double, and thank God I was as it was the smallest room I have ever stayed in. If you pulled out the chair at the desk it touched the bed. It was certainly compact! Having said that, the bed was comfortable and the room had everything you'd really need: it was just so small you wouldn't want to spend any time there. I had some issues with the room: heated towel-rail didn't work, minibar on but not chilled, hairs left in plug in the sink, "free" Wifi was really slow and often wouldn't connect. Overall: ok if you're just going to sleep there, but not if you are intending to spend any longer at the hotel than a day. I had a "traditional" room style (i.e. in need of updating) but perhaps other modern rooms are better. I will add that I received an email survey on my stay and the hotel did respond to my issues well straight away, which was encouraging.

All Round Above Average

I spent two weeks here for business and pleasure. The hotel is a bit of a rabbit-warren of corridors but the rooms are large (by London standards). The bathroom was excellent, the staff helpful and the breakfasts large. It is close to the underground so getting around was easy. I would happily stay here again.

Great Location ... Good Hotel

Stayed twice in this Hotel in 2007 and both times it was good. Standard of rooms does vary due to the nature of the hotel especiially the single room which one of my family had which was very cute as it had a small corridor from the room door (with its own doorbell) before going up some steps to the actual room - although cute and cosy it was very small and no space to move in the bathroom. But you dont spend much time in the room so all you need is there. Both times the rooms were at the back of the hotel so therefore not as noisy. Narrow corridors make it hard to get luggage through but it was originally a townhouse of the Vanderbilt family and not designed for the traveller with suitcases! Breakfast were good and the lobby was clean and bright. In december it was decorated for Christmas with a lovely large tree beside the fireplace in the entrance area. The location is great - only about 1min away from Gloucester Road tube station (served by the tubeline from Heathrow), also great for Kensington, Harrods and musuems. Also used this hotel as a base to go to Wimbledon. The staff on reception are really helpful and especially on out last day when we needed to stay in the room past the checkout time because my mother had just got out of hospital they only charged a minimal fee and did everything they coudl to help us. In a really nice fashionable part of London just away from the main hustle of the centre. I'll stay here again when im in London
