From
June
30th
to
July
4th,
2023,
my
wife
and
I
stayed
at
the
Radisson
Blu
Edwardian
Hampshire
Hotel
in
Leicester
Square,
London.
Despite
its
portrayal
as
a
five-star
establishment,
my
assessment
would
not
surpass
three
stars.
Our
initially
assigned
room
was
far
from
satisfactory—a
small,
dim
space
with
a
window
offering
a
view
of
a
nearby
wall,
contributing
to
an
overall
damp
atmosphere
due
to
the
lack
of
sunlight.
Promptly
expressing
our
discontent,
we
requested
a
room
change,
and
the
hotel,
to
their
credit,
relocated
us
to
a
higher
floor
with
a
more
pleasing
view.
The
hotel's
décor
adheres
to
an
Edwardian
style,
which
might
be
perceived
by
some
as
antiquated
rather
than
contemporary.
However,
our
selection
of
this
establishment
was
primarily
influenced
by
its
strategic
location,
and
in
that
regard,
we
were
content
with
our
decision.
The
hotel's
enviable
position
provides
a
vibrant
and
exciting
atmosphere,
especially
for
vacationers.
Leicester
Square,
visible
from
the
front
rooms,
resembled
a
lively
carnival
during
our
stay,
offering
a
plethora
of
activities
just
steps
away
from
the
hotel.
Numerous
restaurants
of
diverse
cuisines
are
conveniently
located
within
minutes.
Even
though
we
had
pre-arranged
transportation
through
the
Head
Concierge,
our
experience
was
marred
by
an
unmet
pickup
at
Heathrow
airport.
Despite
having
paid
for
the
service
in
advance,
we
were
left
waiting
for
about
thirty
minutes
after
contacting
the
hotel
before
the
car
finally
arrived.
In
conclusion,
our
overall
experience
in
London
was
positive,
largely
due
to
the
hotel's
exceptional
location.
If
we
were
to
revisit
the
city,
we
would
not
hesitate
to
choose
this
hotel
again.
Its
proximity
to
renowned
landmarks
such
as
Trafalgar
Square,
Piccadilly
Circus,
Regent
Street,
and
Covent
Garden
adds
significant
appeal
to
the
overall
stay.
