The Radisson Vanderbilt Hotel London is in SW7 South Kensington and if you read our reviews for there about how good this location is then you know we like this area a lot.
It has it all, attractions, restaurants, bars, shops and Harrods just up the road. The transport links from Gloucester road tube station just across the road are superb and you can even travel direct to London Heathrow Airport without any changes from this station.
The downside may be the traffic noise as there is a major road junction right outside the front of the hotel so request a room at the rear.
If you do stay here check out Pauls just across the road which is a genuine French brasserie serving gorgeous croissants.
The hotel is "OK", its a little outdated but not to the point where it is a major problem. Good points are the comfortable beds, good comfortable lounge area and the great buffet breakfast. Downside points include traffic noise at the front, unreliable lift and a little outdated decor.
Value for money???
depends on the rate for your particular date of stay. This hotel can be sky high or really cheap depending on how busy / quiet they anticipate being. Worth checking out for a sub 120 pound rate. Definitely not in the same league as the nearby Harrington Hall, Holiday Inn Forum, Baileys or the Gloucester so if rates at the Vanderbilt Hotel are equal to these then we suggest that you select an alternative.
