I stayed here with a work group. My initial impressions were excellent (the foyer/atrium is very stylish) and this continued when I got to my water facing room. I had some problems with the television which took a couple of hours & nagging calls to fix, but this apart I couldn't fault my room, the food & service or the luxurious pool & spa. The bed was huge.

I stayed with friends overnight at the Radisson on Tuesday (no undue noise, as noted in other reviews). The Hotel is modern, clean and stylish. The room was pleasantly furnished to a high standard, lovely bathroom and flat screen t.v. The air conditioning was a bit noisy, so we turned it off in the night. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The swimming pool was lovely (no time to try the other facilities), however, it was a bit difficult to get into, you have to follow signs for the fitness Ark and get in the lifts there, pressing the ground floor button on the left, the door is very heavy and was difficult to open to get into the changing areas, there is a steep spiral staircase down to the pool which might be difficult for children. They provide towels when you check into the pool.

The hotel was central, the breakfast was fabulous, either cooked or continental, they had scrambled eggs (which I don't like), but there was no problem when I asked for fried. However, some of the staff either didn't understand or lacked initiative, if you asked for a pot of tea, that is what you got, you then had to ask for a cup, milk etc, also there was a long queue to get into the dining room.

Eight of us stayed here for three nights on business over a weekend and unfortunately, we all came away very disappointed with the hotel.

Our rooms were on level 3 & 6. The beds were twins, the duvets didn't fit properly, there were no protectors on the mattresses and the sheets were not fitted so moved around when you lay on them. One of the glasses for my mini bar had a huge crack in it and there was a big sticky coffee stain on my window sill. Room service menu was very limited and when i left the tray outside my room for collection, it stayed there overnight and all of the next day! This was a common problem for all of us as well as the very loud fans in the bathrooms that stayed on 24hrs a day. When we called down about this we were told it's a frequent complaint and to stuff it with tissue!!

Breakfast was good,with a varied selection and the waiting staff and restaurant maitre de were excellent. The bar staff were polite but very slow table service in the evenings.

Also, there was a very load disco in the function rooms on one of the nights. As the hotel is open plan, the sound travels upwards and is very very loud on the 3rd floor. When we called down at 12.30am to find out when it would finish, we were told 2am and there was nothing that could be done about it. Not ideal when you're working the whole of the next day.

It does have some good points but unfortunately, many things let it down.

Stayed at the Radisson in May 2008 for my boyfriends birthday. When booking the room i requested a room with a view and we got it.
Check in was quick and staff where helpful and friendly.
The hotel was lovely, really stylish, rooms were spacious and clean.
Great location, not too far away from the centre and the docks, about a 10-15 minute walk.

We used the pool, sauna etc, not as swish as it looks on the pictures but was still nice.

There was a wedding party the night we stayed and as read on previous reports it does get quite noisy, we were on the 5th floor and could hear the music, luckily i can sleep through anything but im sure some people arent as lucky! So maybe its an idea to check this out before booking.

We didnt use the bar or restaurant, even though they looked nice, it looked a tad expensive!

Breakfast was great in the morning, we stuffed ourselves silly and didnt need to eat for the rest of the day! Choices of cooked breakfast, cereals, toast/breads and fresh fruits.

I would stay here again and would definately recommend it.
