2 reviews for Radisson Edwardian Hotels
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.
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.
