I was charged 150 GBP as 'early check in’ charges for getting a room 2 hours prior to the standard check in time. I was not offered an explanation or an invoice on checking out. I haven't managed to get one, despite talking personally to the reception manager, calling up the next day and writing to the hotel. Disgraceful behavior by Radisson Blu, South Kensington

Stayed at this property for 2 nights. Right across the street from underground station which is so convenient to get around. Boots and Tesco express right there as well. Staff was so friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. Shower was powerful and hot. I will absolutely stay here again.
