Pros: Lovely decor and facilities including music in the bathroom! Good location. Nice bar area

Pros: Reception staff were extremely friendly and helpful offering advice on places to visit etc. The complimentary cookies were superb. We booked a standard room and it was lovely. Location was perfect for a shopping break - less than five minutes walk from bullring shopping centre.

Cons: Nothing. I would definitely stay here again

Pros: Location and ambiance and very helpful staff

Cons: Poor coffee at breakfast and coffee machine broke down

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: Stayed in a suite which was nice. Stayed on the 13th floor. If I'm honest I wanted to stay higher as it was advertised as high floor suite. Other than that it was a nice stay.

Cons: The food was poor, breakfast wasn't great and we ordered room service for dinner. Generally overcooked and cold, also had bits missing. When I called reception they said they'll send it up but no food arrived.

Pros: Very clean very tidy and as shown in the pictures

Cons: Window was abit smaller than I thought it was, could have better lighting

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: Very good

Cons: Breakfast was a let down

Pros: Excellent location, very clean, top quality, pleasant staff and amazing views from room.

Cons: Had to pay an extra £40 (which I would get back if nothing happened) but turns out to be expensive on top of the stay price across the time there, plus wasn’t made aware of this extra cost when booking.

Pros: The wife and I started here to celebrate our anniversary and me getting the sack from the cancer centre.The check in was smooth, we originally booked room only but opted for the breakfast (an extra £18). The room wasnt quite as big as what we're used to at the Crowne plaza but it was still amazing and well lit and had a good view of the city. The bed was a little uncomfortable but that was in the middle where the two single beds were joined together to make a large double. The bathroom was well lit, and the shower, well.... I had three if them, it was that good!!! We didn't have time to use the spa unfortunately but we will make time to use it next visit. There is a Tesco and Starbucks very close by. All in all, very good value for money.

Cons: The bacon with the breakfast was pretty much nuked.

Pros: Amazing staff, I loved the room and the views were amazing! Also the pool and sauna were good.

Cons: Lack of cheap parking

Pros: The decor was lovely and clean. The room had all the amenities you needed including a robe and slippers.

Cons: The bed was too soft and with two people in it you could feel yourself rolling into the middle. The lift took forever to come up and down and one point we waited 10mins to get in it.

Pros: Decor Location

Cons: Reception Staff - (Zandie)

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Pros: Despite some staff issues, some of the other staff were very polite and hotel was clean.

Cons: Where to start... There was a fan on for the air conditioning I presume, but even with everything off, the fan still made a noise all night. In the morning, must have been some noisy pipes, as at 6am there was an appalling cow like noise resembling water pipes. Waking us up. (So much for a nice relaxing night!). Also the lights did not work properly in our room, flickering off and on etc When we checked in we were 20 minutes early. So the staff member advised us to go sit down until it was time and we would be called over. Between then and 10 minutes after the check in time about 20 people checked in. So we walked up and spoke to someone different who booked us in. Not a great service. The breakfast was very average and not what you are looking forward to at a hotel (we've been to a lot). The sausages were disgusting and cheap, the bacon was either nearly raw and under cooked or over done and uneatable. The toast that you have to make yourself was still bread on the first go through the toaster, the 2nd go burnt it. Overall, out of the 40+ hotels we've been too, this was one of the experiences we would rather forget.

Pros: Room was nice layout. Location was great. Beans in breakfast were okay. Continental assortment at breakfast was good.

Cons: Cooked breakfast on buffet was below expectations. Bacon was overcooked even for the under heat lamp stuff. Sausage was tasteless and barely edible and that was not just a personnel taste my two other colleagues were of the same mind. Only eggs available were luke warm scrabbled. Cut tomatoes were cold to luke warm. The hash potatoes were soft which I personally liked but my colleagues didn't.

Pros: Fantastic self serve buffet breakfast with plenty of choice. Definitely will rebook for next time.

Pros: Breakfast fabulous

Cons: Price of drinks far too expensive compared to other hotels Had a lunchtime ham sandwich No butter ,? Insufficient seating for breakfast to accommodate customers Had to wait for a seat and then oobtain extra chairs from different parts of restaurant hence food was cold

Pros: Location was within 5 minutes of where we needed to be. We were asked if we wanted a room on a higher or low level and got a room at the back of the hotel away from the main road on the highest floor. For a busy hotel it was so quiet! It may have been different if we’d been on the main road but I think staff would have tried to help us get a different room. Breakfast was nice and lots of choices. They have a waffle machine too! Good value for money as we got it on offer. Overall we thought it was good. There are car parks within 2 minutes walking distance which are cheaper though!

Pros: Breakfast was great. wide variety of choice right across the board. only complaint was that scrambled egg was on offer all 3 mornings we stayed, never any other egg option.

Cons: when I checked in I required some lunch and male receptionist told me to go down the street to nandos!! I booked this hotel because snack meals were available at all times. I had been travelling and wanted to relax. The first panni I ordered they did not have. The lunch I had was acceptable but I have to say over priced and had not been made to feel welcome. Otherwise the staff were all help full.

Pros: Comfortable room and friendly staff

Cons: 11am check out time. Difference of opinion between day and night staff on check out times

Pros: Everything was perfect. Location , rooms , staff

Cons: Bar

Pros: Nothing at all

Cons: The lifts didn’t work all the time and the same with the key card The air vents in the room are very loud and if the person in the next room is showering it get even louder just like the music at the reception, if they turned down the volume the might here the guest better and just as well the breakfast is free and you wouldn’t get your moneys worth if you paid for it

Pros: Breakfast! Great selection at the buffet style breakfast bar.
