Guests often praise the Radisson Blu's prime location, ideal for exploring the Hippodrome, harbour, and shopping areas, with the A1 airport bus conveniently stopping nearby. Many appreciate the spacious and comfortable rooms, some offering great city or harbour views, complete with amenities like Nespresso machines, kettles, and bathrobes; however, some guests have noted the need for more conveniently placed plug sockets.

Excellent Stay with City Views

great location city view helpful staff
The location of the hotel is great. It allowed for easy access to many attractions. I was upgraded to a room with a great city view (I could see the main attractions!). The staff was always helpful and polite, particularly when I needed directions.
The parking situation was a bit inconvenient, as the garage was a short walk from the hotel entrance. This was not ideal when carrying luggage, especially after a long day of travel.
Rooms

The room had a comfortable bed with nice bedding. There was a work desk and a seating area (I got some work done!). The bathroom included two separate sinks and a walk-in shower.

The staff provided quick check-in and check-out services. The concierge helped me with luggage storage, very useful. Daily cleaning was provided, and it was always very effective (I appreciated this).

tight carpark stained carpet
The underground carpark was tight, a real struggle to navigate. i had booked a space, yet there was only one narrow spot left. our premium room city view looked tired. It definitely needed decorating, and the carpet was badly stained. the walls also had dirt and holes. The furniture looked scratched and worn. it was quite frustrating.
