Radisson Blu Edwardian Bloomsbury Street

I had the pleasure of spending about a week at this Radisson Blu, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Quite honestly, the Radisson Blu was a dream location for a lengthy stay overseas. For starters, the British Museum is a very short walk away (!). And there are some amazing restaurants near this place as well, which makes it easy to save some money and eat elsewhere, as the meals at the hotel itself are quite pricey. It’s also very easy to get anywhere else you may need to go thanks to London’s Tube system — there are several stations within walking distance of the hotel.
But there was more to impress me here than the location alone! The room my travel buddy and I shared was insanely spacious. Keep in mind that prior to checking in here, we stayed at a teeny room that barely had room for one person and at a hotel that, while comfortable, more or less had a bedroom with space for beds, a desk, and that’s it. Our Radisson Blu room, however, had two beds and gorgeous comfortable chairs placed by a table, next to windows that overlooked the busy street below us. Talk about the perfect people watching spot. My mother called dibs on the closet during our stay, and that thing had room for her coats, clothes, AND her enormous suitcase. The enormous bathroom — complete with refillable shampoo, conditioner and gel bottles that housekeeping would check on — was pretty great, too. Granted, we had to watch our step as the shower stall did not close; the stall itself is big enough that this usually isn’t a problem, but if you splashed water past the barrier (which reached about ¾ of the way from the shower head to the wall at the opposite side of the stall) while under the shower head it was entirely possible for it to make a small mess in the rest of the room.
The clinching factors for my rating, though, were kind and helpful staff coupled with wi-​fi that consistently worked during the duration of my stay (!!!). I was never once left wanting during my stay here. This hotel was absolutely worth what we paid — plus, my mother and I got to take pictures with the red deer décor sitting in the lobby, which has been quite a conversation starter since we’ve returned home from our trip. I’m not sure I could afford to stop here again in the future if I traveled on my own, but a girl can dream… and budget accordingly!

Did not stay here, but stayed around the corner. However, we came every day for a week, for the breakfast buffet. Though pricey, it was the best in the area

L’hotel Radisson Blu Edwardian sur Bloomsbury Street est un magnifique hotel au coeur de Londres.
Idéalement situé à proximité de la British Library, de Covent Garden, des théâtres de West End, Soho et Oxford Street, on peut accéder aux points clés de Londres à pied.
Dans un style édouardien, la façade d’époque est superbe, elle est mise en valeur par des jeux de lumière violette qui l’illuminent la nuit.
A l’intérieur, le lobby fait preuve d’un vrai parti pris artistique qu’on retrouve dans tous les espaces publics de l’hotel. On croirait certaines oeuvres directement issues de musées d’art moderne.
Les chambres sont belles et raffinées bien que petites, malheureusement, c’est le standard à Londres: des hotels gigantesques avec des toutes petites chambres.
Et pour finir, un élément primordial pour moi: le petit déjeuner. Bravo à toute l’équipe du Radisson Blu car la salle du petit déjeuner et absolument magnifique et le petit déjeuner est divin.
Allez y pour la localisation centrale, pour le luxe et le design de l’hotel ainsi que la qualité du petit-​déjeuner.

The hotel was selected by the boss and he did well with his choice. We had a bunch of equipment to manage and the staff was super helpful. My room was nice and quiet and the internet surprisingly fast. Loved the sheets. The staff didn’t make me feel like a tourist and they were all professionals. The hotel is in a good location in the middle of a zillion places to eat and shop and you can walk everywhere. Our work assignment was a ten minute taxi ride (you gotta love London taxi drivers — none better) away. The hotel had a taxi handy exactly when we wanted it. I hope to stay at this Radisson again.

I rarely go a week without visiting. From pots of tea to dirty martini it is always the best x

Stayed here for 2 nights during a recent stay in London. Its within walking distance of Oxford street and Kensington Palace. Its also about a 25 min walk from the theater district. Great location. Affordable if you consider $ 300 per night affordable. Great rooms with nice bathrooms. Big enough for two people. I’d stay here again the next time I’m in London.

For me, this is the hotel of choice. Wonderul rooms, generous bathrooms, very professional and amicable staff. It’s only a short walk to Covent Garden, and a nice walk to the gentleman’s mekka, Jermyn Street, Piccadilly and St. James’ Street. A taxi from Paddington Station is about 12£. A heartily reccommend the Bloomsbury!

What is up with the lobby room spray overload? My stays before have been comfortable, but last month’s was near unbearable as there was just too much of that room spray. That’s my only complain, but I felt I had to make it.

Exemplary service, comfortable and spacious accommodations, a nice bar and an excellent location all make this my go-​to hotel when traveling to London for work. Upon check-​in, I was greeted by the general manager and personally walked through all of the features and amenities of the hotel. It is very close to Covent Garden and all the great shops and restaurants located there. My only minor quibble is the shower. The bathroom itself is huge and very nice (they even have a warming towel rack!), but the rain shower head is too low. Granted, I’m 6’2″ tall, but I constantly had to crouch beneath the shower head and frequently banged my head on it. Apart from that, this is a great and affordable place to stay in old London town.

Spent a week here on business. It’s in a good location just a stone’s throw away (short walk) from Covent Garden and across the street from the British History Museum (cool and free museum). I chose it because it was reasonably priced (for London) and in a good location. I can honestly say that for the $$‘s there isn’t anything nicer.
The staff is super friendly. The rooms are usually large, but not as large at the HUGE bathroom which was pretty amazing. It had a rain shower and towel warmer. My room faced the Bloomsbury street and was quite noisy each night. I’d suggest requesting an interior room if you don’t want to be woken up by honking horns and drunk hooligans (why are they always yelling at 3am?)
The lobby is super cool and the bar is really nice. Right around the corner from a SBUX (if you are looking for crap American coffee when you are in London) and a market for small purchases.
I’d recommend it and will gladly return.

We were in room 3025 for 4 nights the week after the 2012 Olympics. We got an upgrade to a king superior, which was nice.
The hotel is located at the corner of Great Russel St and Bloomsbury St, which is ½ a block from the British Museum and 1 block from super noisy Oxford St (buses ²⁴⁄₇). The room, however, was really quiet, and that was awesome. Our room didn’t face Bloomsbury St, but faced the alleyway behind the hotel.
Wifi was free, but annoying as you had to enter your email address AND click the «do not email me» button every time you connected.
The bathroom was spacious, but had a weird half door on the shower (which meant that my husband flooded the bathroom every time he showered).
Small business center immediately to the left of the main elevators had efficient printing (which was great for boarding passes, local maps, etc).
Small issues:
The AC blows from the bathroom and is rather loud at night, so you can either suck it up and deal with the noise or get really warm. I opted foro warm.
The bed creaked crazily. Like, every time you turned, it creaked.
When we were leaving (at 4:30am) the receptionist informed me that a cab to Heathrow would be £60, and a cab to Paddington to catch the Heathrow Express would be £20 because «black cabs charge double at night» and no, she would not call a minicab for us. So I had to march upstairs, weed through Unilocal reviews of mincab companies, call one on my UK mobile, and book it at 1:30am. I could have been sleeping! Grrr.

This is my favorite London hotel. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with not only easy access to the tube and a short walk to the all buzzing spots. Clean, comfortable rooms with large lovely bathrooms… LOVELY LOOS! Service is impeccable and an array of yummy eats are around every corner. This hotel is far above par than the other hotels falling within it’s class in London. (a lesson I learned the hard way) Worth every penny!!!

I was staying in London on business. I booked this hotel as it was in my company’s travel policy price range. The hotel is very nice, modern, clean, comfortable beds, quiet, and large bathroom (love the rain like shower heads!!). There is a bar and restaurant on the location. The wifi actually works in the rooms, and there is a business center for free printing services. The breakfast is 21 lbs and I wouldn’t pay that much, when I can just get a great coffee and breakfast to pick up at the Pret Manager around the corner. However, I did grab a quick bite in the bar on my first night in, and I had the fish and chips. WOW! You walk through London and see every other restaurant or pub claim it has the world’s best fish and chips, London’s best, or we are famous for our… but. this place had the best fish and chips I have had in along time. Not oily, the fish melted in your mouth, and the chips were perfect. What a surprise!!! I have had fish and chips in London and never liked them at the worlds best this and that, as they are the typical oily dry type. Definitely worth a try!
