Radisson Edwardian Sussex Hotel London, London, United Kingdom - Reviews and Hotel Information

I had chosen our hotel carefully, to ensure it was close to underground stations which could get us to where we needed to go over a weekend visit to london to see a show. However, I have to say it was not the best way to select a hotel. The location is somewhat dark and dull - and the rooms are all incredibly small. If you are at the front of the hotel, be prepared for noise from Oxford Street and surrounding areas.

Our first room was 115 - it was very small, at the back of the hotel, very dark and with a view of a wall through a very small window! As I said to the receptionist who checked us in - " it is undoubtedly the worst room I have ever been given in any of the Radisson Hotels I have ever stayed in!" I have stayed in many Radisson hotels. An alternative was given, it was brighter, but yet again very small.

The room facilities are limited, although they have spent money of the decor and of course the B&O televsions in the rooms. No in-house movie channels though!

The breakfast was acceptable, but the kitchen service to replenish dishes was slow - and if you arrive approaching close of service be prepared for meagre offerings. The time for checking out is 11.00 and rather grudgingly I was given a 12.00 check out. You should also note that breakfast and check out times clash. I was advised that they will charge £10 per hour after 11.00 or your agreed check out time to cover their costs.

The hotel has only one rather noisy, and shuddering, lift which is used by both guests and housekeepers. The staff and their trollies do not make way for the guests.

I am not often as negative about a hotel - however the unique qualities of this one seem to be very poor and not positive - small rooms which are dark with no views; single glazed windows and small bathrooms.

On the bright side, it is located near underground stations and the bed I was in was at least comfortable.
