Review
front desk was not helpful , many people whom work at the hotel don't know much about hospitality and hotel management on how to treat guest and co-ordination and conduct of the hotel . House keep takes ages to respond to anything. Stay was very average so was the food at the hotel

Additions for the Rooms
Stay very good. But found it strange that such a beautiful hotel does not have bathtubs. My wife always insist on bathtub. Secondly, for a hotel like Radisson you expect gowns & sleepers. That’s what you get in other Radisson hotels.

The hotel is in a good location and it is quite lovely. Unfortunately during our stay housekeeping only cleaned our room at 3pm; which is disappointing when you have been gone most of the morning. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, great hardware...that's it really
Overall the stay was ok. Rooms are modern, well appointed, and bed really comfy. Service on the whole was slow, particularly at the front desk. 6 odd people standing around and not one person looks up to ask if you have been served or need something. If you are looking to be able to open a window for fresh air, then not the place to stay. Freshly prepared breakfast was good, and the chef went out of his way and prepared a really good omelet. The buffet however was not great at all and freshness left a lot to be desired, particularly the coffee from the machine.

Improved stay
Vast improvement since my last stay. Staff are much more attentive. Housekeeping response times require improvement. Took 2 phone calls and over an hour to receive soap and an extra blanket. Generally a good stay.

Awesome hotel
The hotel is really nice, with great staff. The only issue was that the extractor in the bathroom does not work and does become hot
