Radisson Edwardian Hotels
9/1/2009
I stay at a lot of hotels. I go to a lot of conventions. Few hotels are worth staying at for a con and for your general travel. This is one of them.
I stayed a total of 10 days over 2 weeks at the Radisson Edwardian and I can say that I've never found a better hotel for travel and con-going. The la-out isn't bad, there are lots of soft spaces, they had a general use internet area, a decent drinking area, a number of spots for sitting for conversation and the rates were very reasonable. The location, right down the road from Heathrow where you can catch the Tube into town easily and there are plenty of food options around at all price points, really made my day.
The rooms are nice. Not overly so, they we stayed in one of the named rooms the first few days and it was very comfy, nice and large and a wonderful bathroom. The rate wasn't bad at all. The second room I had was much smaller, but still felt comfortable and clean with a good bathroom.
The one complaint I had was the restaurant which was muy expensive. Yeah, I know hotel food is always pricey, but 10 pounds for a burger? I was kinda shocked. I will say that the couple of times we had the con-arranged dinner buffet was really good, especially the lamb they did, but the price was still high.
I liked it, and the convention space was very comfortable. I liked the glass fish in the reflecting pools. The way they seperated the main ballroom from the smaller function spaces also worked.

LOCATION:
This hotel is close to the airport, really close. The airport shuttle takes less than 25 minutes to get to your terminal even with stopping at other hotels. To get to London you only need one bus to Hatton Cross metro station and then straight to the center you go on Piccadilly line. BUT, it will take you a good hour an a half on average to do that. So if you are planning on getting into the city every day, it's a pain and costs money. Also, you won't be able to stay out much later past midnight, since the metro closes.
ROOM:
Nicely sized, enough space to put your luggage. The place is tidy and pleasant. My room was on the second floor overlooking the parking space in the back and keeping window blinds open was not an option, since during the day the numerous hotel employees could easily see inside and during the night the outside lights were too darn bright.
AMENITIES:
Room has iron, ironing board and even a pant press. I have not used anything in the hotel itself, but there are quite a few various rooms, as the hotel is definitely centered on catering to large and medium business meetings.
FOOD:
I've only had breakfast and found it quite satisfying. You got the regular eggs, bacon, taters and yogurt, as well as cereals. A few juices and loads of watermelon/cantelope/oranges/fruit salad type of stuff.
SERVICE:
Didn't have much use for it, but could be a bit better, especially for a place that has a 1000-crystal chandelier at the entrance. I got in early at around 10:40 am and asked if I can check-in early. I was told that I have to wait half an hour for a room to be available. I opted to wait in the entrance hall in plain view of the concierge. Fifty minutes later, tired of waiting, I came up to them again and asked if the room was ready. And yes, it was. Apparently they just didn't care to tell the waiting people (I wasn't the only one) that rooms were ready for them.
OTHER:
The price of 79 pounds was rather good, considering that I was in town during Wimbledon, but if you want to see the city daily, the hassle might outweigh the price.

I am on the fence about this hotel.
The public spaces are nice, if a bit boring. It looks a lot better on the inside than from the exterior.
The rooms are down long dark, motel corridors that I found to be absolutely terrifying. Showers were uncomfortable and didn't have adequate leakage protection, thus resulting in a very wet bathroom floor. Don't expect extra towels either as this hotel is "green."
However, there are some positives.
-Free transportation is available on any of the buses on Bath Road to the Central Terminal Area and Terminal 5. From the CTA bus stop, you can easily access the Piccadilly Heathrow Express trains.
-Walk-thru McDonald's next door and open late!
Yup, that's about it for the positives.

Good for value hotel especially if you go for prepayment.
However, you'd be a lot better off eating someplace else. The restaurant was way overpriced - a totally mediocre dinner cost over $30. Restaurant service is slow too. And I had one of the worst martinis ever in the bar. All in all, for comfort, convenience and value, I'll go back. But never eat there again.
