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 rooms a much smaller than shown in the pictures with the bathroom hardly enough space to get into at all. Organisation was poor as we booked a meal in response to an offer from the hotel to find the reservation had not been made and the offer was not available.

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

Good trip, handy for museums and close to tube station. Don’t bother with the fruit platter, overpriced and some fruits inaccessible as no knife privided, or even not very fresh and therefore inedible.
