Funky fun hotel right in the river Arts District. We would stay here again. We ordered breakfast from the café and it was delicious. The room could’ve had more areas to put your luggage and suitcases on, but it was very nice and we had a great view of the river. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel
The hotel is really cool but I was disappointed in housekeeping. The first morning I noticed the water, coffee, and tissues (which were empty) were not replaced. I left a note for the second morning and the coffee and tissues were still not replaced. 2 water bottles were left, which looked like they were filled with tap water. Also, there was only one person in the breakfast area this morning and a long line waiting for coffee and food. There should be at least 2, especially when we're talking about coffee :-)

Stylish Hotel
Our stay was great. The hotel is stylish, clean and welcoming. The bed and pillows a little too soft. The only downside was the restaurant The Golden Hour. The food was mediocre. But the hotel and hotel staff are excellent,

The radical hotel is very fun. The decor is unique. My room had brick walls, oversize paintings and graffiti with excellent furniture. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was a lot of fun and I recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay, staff was friendly, loved the ease of morning coffee at Afterglow and a rooftop cocktail. Saturday morning yoga on the Roof was amazing! And rooms were well equipped and fun. Would definitely stay here again!

Frequent Asheville visitor here, so I was excited to get to try Radical. Super cool vibe, large rooms, nice rooftop. My only complaint is that I booked a river view king room (for an extra $30/nt) and it definitely is not a river view (even the rooftop has a very limited river view).
