Shortly after arriving, we noticed air conditioning was not working in our room. Staff came up to have a look and verified the issue. Hotel agreed to give us new room next day. Luckily, it was the weather cool that night in London (April 2025). Next day, we had our new room. A little inconvenient, but staff responded quickly. Had new room next day with good A/C.

Good sized rooms, property is like a maze! Apparently got upgraded but wouldnt say the room was duluxe, it faced out into a courtyard that had the air conditioning unit so no view. We did have a sofa bed that had been made up but it wasnt required as there were only 2 of us anyway.

One to avoid

Upsides: - Great location - Friendly staff in reception and bar Downside: - Unusual smell from pillows - Bed felt itchy - Loud ventilation or extractor fan running automatically, had to put in headphones to drown out the sound - Shower unit and the room in general was pretty worn out - Poor soundproofing - Can take a long time to reach your room due to building layout You'd be better off spending £20 less and getting an Ibis, or £20 more and finding a proper 4 star hotel.

Great location , hotel in need of major refurbishm

It was a trip to the South Kensington area and the hotel is well situated for the Museums, tube station and Royal Albert Hall. However, for a Radisson it was poor. The hotel is in need of a major modernisation programme and the rooms looked very tired indeed. There was no information on wi-fi and it seemed a bit grim all round.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and our room was very quiet with a comfortable bed. There were some issues with getting the room cleaned as it seemed they were short staffed for house keeping. Also, the shower was very small and short. This hotel is very conveniently located across from the Gloucester Square tube stop.

Listen to all other reviews and stay elsewhere. Location is great, staff is nice, accesible to public transportation is easy, however the rooms are old, carpet is dirty looking, stained and uneven. We had problems with the bathtub drainage. We notified the front desk but issue was unresolved. Such a shame I was looking forward to our stay as the photos depict a different hotel .

Had a wonderful stay at Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington (formerly Vanderbilt)! This beautiful historic building perfectly blends classic charm with modern comfort. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, and the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. A special shoutout to Alexander and Leyneer at reception for their outstanding service! The hotel's location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Gloucester Underground Station, making it easy to explore London. Highly recommend this hotel for its history, hospitality, and convenience. Will definitely stay again!

The hotel is hit and miss, I have stayed several times this month and some rooms are great, as expected for a radisson blu, the room this week has chips in the bath, the lights didn't work, the key holder thing to make the lights work was smashed off the wall, the door lock didn't work and there was still a laundry sticker on the bedding (at least it was clean). They don't always give the vip offers to ststus members. I will stay again as a good price and when get a good room it is fine but this time really wasn't great
