I really dont like that half toilet rolls were put in my room. I think those halves should be kept for the public toilets in the hotel and not the rooms. its really not hygienic.

Great stay, the breakfast offering in particular exceeded my expectations from a 4 star hotel. The service by the chefs was spectacular literally no ask is small or too big for them. What I didn’t understand from a value perspective is the lounge access, nothing wow at all, the food was limited, the set up not great. Infact the facilities available to everyone are much better. There really is no point to the executive lounge. The other disappointment was the slow lift services due to a failed lift which wasn’t fixed for more than 4 days. This resulted in long waiting periods for the lift which was a bit of an inconvenience. Otherwise overall a great stay.

Poor service, unapologetic staff.
Check in was at 3pm. We only got checked in at 5.45pm. After being checked in our beds were not ready in our room and we had to wait till 7pm to get housekeeping to sort it out. Poor excuses from staff who were not apologetic at all and did not keep us informed.No management on duty to listen our concerns, hotels.com tried calling to speak with the staff members but no one answered.Staff at the restaurant are all juniors and learning on the job,we had challenges with our meal orders. Disappointing to know that we were sitting next to one of the owners of the hotel at dinner and we were experiencing such terrible service throughout our stay. At check out which is at 12pm, we had a knock at our door around 11.50, if only welcoming guests was as good as chasing them away.

Stay very good. But found it strange that such a beautiful hotel does not have bathtubs. My wife always insist on bathtub. Secondly, for a hotel like Radisson you expect gowns & sleepers. That’s what you get in other Radisson hotels.

The hotel is in a good location and it is quite lovely. Unfortunately during our stay housekeeping only cleaned our room at 3pm; which is disappointing when you have been gone most of the morning. Would definitely stay again.
