Pros: Location Room size

Cons: TV did not work Bed too soft

Pros: Location was great. Staff in general were well mannered. Up to 18 floors. Has a gym, but didn't get to see it. Well sized rooms also. Shoe machines on the floors along with ice.

Cons: I have to say I love the Raddison blu brand but this will now be the 1st of two lower than average reviews I'll be writing. First of all I felt lucky and a little excited to get a good deal of £88 per night (with breakfast) as apposed to the £150-£170 most sites were advertising (including Raddison blu on their club Carlson membership site). It started with the arrival with my colleague, a small lobby for the size of the hotel. No one there at first but they came out seconds later so it wasn't too much of a problem. We explained to the front desk that I had booked the rooms for two of us, but rather than looking it was assumed it would be under separate names. Could have been my fault so I'll let that go. We then both checked in, only to find that both rooms were under my name. This was done quite fast, which was good and we were sent on our way with a brief explanation about the breakfast in the morning. Missed the offers that were on hand and not valid at check-in so no upsell. Had they asked we would have taken one of the offers. I did show my club Carlson card and asked if there was anyway of upgrading as to which she said "I'm afraid not as the hotel is fully booked". Which was understandable (remember this part!). I was getting myself together at the reception desk, at which she thanked me. She then thanked me again and gave me a look to say do that somewhere else! I looked around and saw a queue behind me, which I was surprised as there was no one there when we arrived. I apologised when I left the desk but left with a slightly sour taste in my mouth. I then went to my room which smelt of cigarettes. I wasn't sure whether someone was taking a chance on smoking in their room or it was a stench in the actual room. The carpet had stains that seemed well embedded (my colleagues room looked as though blood had been engraved into the carpet with stains too!), the tv had very poor reception (so that was the Brits out of the window). Bathroom was a good size and clean, so was the room in general. But lacked any homely or business feel.

Pros: I was passed out drunk in my room after a somewhat heated exchange wit my partner. She for reasons only known to whatever deity you pretend to pray to elected to come over. This was an excellent choice assisted by the staff of the Radisson blu hotel.

Cons: I have to use a key card to access my floor, its a layer of security that is utterly redundant.

Pros: Location and the views from the room (stayed on the 15th floor). Cleanliness of the rooms (althought there was quite alot of dust under the luggage rack in the room) and the hotel in general, it is obviously well looked after. However no newspaper was delivered to my room as requested.

Cons: Staff are not particularly efficient. At check in, we checked into 2 rooms, one at 1pm and the other at 10pm. Having told the receptionist that we had already checked into a room earlier on in the day she still proceeded to spend the next 5 minutes telling us about breakfast, spa facilities, the gym etc. which we had already heard when we checked into the first room. When we checked into the first room, the receptionsist could not find the booking, even though we tried on numerous occasions to give him our booking conformation with the booking number on it. At breakfast, had eated the rest of our breakfast and were still waiting for 2 fried eggs.

Pros: We enjoyed the view from our 6th floor room, it was above the traffic so it was very quiet, hotel quiet too even though it was busy, staff were very pleasant and polite.

Cons: Chair in our room was very wobbley, asked for aioli (on the menu) with our chips but got tartare sauce (in the bar), would have appreciated more pillows.

Pros: apart from the below mentioned the hotel was amazing and we would recomend it without hesitation to anyone. the front of house staff were very good and helpful. I work in customer service myself and it was nice for someone to 'go the extra mile' for me.

Cons: we ordered a double room. when we got to the room it was a twin. i approached the recption and the helpful lady told me there were no other double rooms but house keeping would go up and push beds together and re make. when we got back after the night out it had not been done.i asked the same girl in the morning who apologised and compensated me which was a very nice gesture.

Pros: Location

Cons: .

Pros: Nice sized room.

Cons: I didn't enjoy struggling to hear the TV over the noise of the lift. I didn't sleep much because the noise of the lift woke me up quite a lot of the time throughout the night. We were on the 6th floor and the noise from the street was still quite loud.

Pros: Jurys have really up the mark in this Hotel,We have stayed before and it gets better every year.

Pros: My visit was good and enjoyed my stay as the location is near the clubs and restaurants and the German Market

Cons: The fact that the cleaners woke me up three times between 8.30am and 9.30am by entereing my room while I was sleeping

Pros: Location despite being far from the railway station

Cons: What we were charged had nothing to do with both your prices on the internet and nothing to do with the numbers of breakfasts we had. we had to intervene to both. this is the first time we are facing this after hundreds of hotels we visited. we had our room left for the hole day as we woke up one day

Pros: Staff were lovely,Sandra who looked after us for Breakfast was so lovely and helpful

Cons: Our room was cold due to snow.when we pointed it out to staff we were moved to another room which was fine

Pros: The location is very convenient and the area seemed generally safe. It was under a ten minute walk to train station, bullring and Mailbox district. The decor is fresh, new and well maintained. I was impressed how much they seem to have invested in lighting. It was quite sophisticated and for a small room there were several different options and it created a relaxing environment. They are a green hotel and leave reminders to switch off lights and reuse towels. It was good to see that they care about our environment. Overall, it is great value for money and I would definitely stay here again.

Cons: The room seemed really clean except for the floor. It wasn't exactly dirty, it just didn't seem like it had been swept properly. The shower unit was a bit weird as it is separate from the toilet and the door is opaque and opens up right into the bedroom. This wouldn't be a problem for a solo traveler or a couple (to be fair this was a room with only one double bed) however I'm sure in some situations this would be awkward. However, these are really minor things and really didn't bother me. The pros definitely outweigh the cons for this hotel.

Pros: Location

Cons: Very basic, doesn’t even have shower gel. Poor views

Cons: the bed was very hard and the non slip flooring outside the shower is not non slip trust me .booked a triple room on this site for 29 nov ,when i arrived at hotel they had me booked in for 29oct .staff sorted it qiuckly but ended up in a double room.have used these hotels all over europe with no problem.
