Great service but disappointing facilities
The service was good and at surface level the room appeared clean. However I mistakenly dropped something under the bed and found months-worth of dust underneath! The finishes were also less refined, a lot of patchwork on the ceiling, many holes on the tiles in the bathroom, etc. Not the usual Radisson standard

Dec 6, 2024
Not worthy of 4 stars. At best it’s 3*.
Hotel was busy and the staff appeared to be overwhelmed. Breakfast was mediocre for a 4 star hotel. One coffee machine was broken and the other working one produced cold and weak coffee.
