I recently stayed at Radisson Blu Hotel, London Bloomsbury, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The location is fantastic, with major attractions within walking distance, although I found the rooms a bit cramped, especially with the family. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive, making me feel well taken care of throughout my stay. There were also some noticeable areas that needed improvement, especially concerning room comfort and amenities.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was tidy, but it felt a bit small for our needs, especially with three people. I appreciated having a window in the bathroom for light and airflow, and the bedding was incredibly comfortable. However, the lack of plug sockets and limited space made it slightly challenging to navigate.

Service

The hotel offered a decent range of amenities, and I appreciated the complimentary Wi-Fi. However, the room lacked some modern features and was showing signs of age, which detracted from the overall experience. The effective air conditioning was a plus, particularly during warmer weather.

My stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel, London Bloomsbury was largely enjoyable thanks to the excellent breakfast and spacious rooms, but the experience was marred by some communication issues regarding my room request and a slight hiccup with service. The hotel's prime location made it easy to explore nearby attractions, and I appreciated the friendly staff during my visit. Overall, while there were a few organizational hiccups, the comfortable accommodations and vibrant atmosphere made it a nice stay.

Rooms

8.0

I stayed in a spacious deluxe kingsize room on the fourth floor despite requesting a lower floor due to my partner's health issues. This was a big issue as my partner couldn't use the lift, but the room was eventually upgraded to a first-floor family room, which was a nice gesture. Overall, the room was well-appointed and comfortable, though the layout could have been a bit more convenient.

Service

7.0

The staff were generally friendly and accommodating; one staff member, Sean, really stood out for his excellent service during check-in and throughout my stay. However, there were communication lapses, like not acknowledging my email requests in advance, which led to some frustration at check-in. Additionally, during breakfast, I noticed a few service inconsistencies.

The breakfast was fantastic with a great variety to choose from, especially the devine Eggs Benedict (they lived up to the hype!).

Overall, the restaurant offered appealing options, and the food quality was impressive.
