Great location

Hotel was lovely, great cocktails in the bar. Room was clean, spacious and wonderfully quiet despite city centre location. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was the weakest part of the stay mostly because the coffee wasn’t great but acceptable to get you going for a days sight seeing

Loved our stay!

The Radisson exceeded my expectations. It’s situated in a great location on the Mile and I loved our room. The steam room and sauna were fantastic and the pool/locker room were clean. The staff were super helpful. The only negative from my stay was the relatively high cost to park in the garage, but it was worth it to stay here.
