"Lovely hotel in a great location for a couples getaway"

"clean. good rooms services. good location. overall overpriced. for a four star hotel that should have a hair conditioner and towels in the bathrooms as standard. Receptionist seemed anxious type and super worried repeating that we might take adapters with us and it made me smile after a while she was like a guard dog to get you. My booking was not the room I ordered it was downgraded to a smaller in a kind of basement with demolition work and sounds because overbookings and on top of it we were forced to split up the family and book extra single room which we never used. So if you see rooms with double beds and sofa beds in this hotel- do not believe that it is there at all. there is a risk that you will be put in a smaller room and will be forced to buy another single room on just like us. I think if I knew all of this details, I will be checking into Radisson blue instead as safter choice what you get. "

"Fabulous hotel! My only complaint is there were no drawers—just two shelves in one of the closets. This seems to be a general trend in hotels. Maybe bureaus are considered old-fashioned? Other than that small quibble the place was wonderful. We had a fifth floor castle view room with a (very comfortable) bed. Staff, pool, breakfast all excellent."

"Amazing location and great rooms! Love the pods system so you can get some private space and not disturb others as much. Looked like they had fun activities and a good vibe but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to check them out. The location right in Old Town cannot be beat!"

"The room and hotel itself were really nice, somewhat warm, but better that than cold. This particular Apex Hotel did not have a Swimming Pool/gym in it, but the option was there for us to use its Sister hotels facilities two or three buildings distance down the road. Other than that, it was a lovely place to stay and beautifully situated in the city Centre pretty much, we highly recommend and will be back."

"Clean room"

"Nice part of the city, very helpful and accommodating staff. Good coffee capsules, no fridge or microwave though!"

"We stayed at the Radisson Blu from April 3rd to April 6th. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. First of all, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses were very poor quality — you sink into them and can barely move. Every morning we woke up with body aches. Secondly, we had an issue with the umbrellas. The hotel rents them out, so we took one but didn’t even use it — it stayed in our room the entire time. When we checked out, we returned it, but because more than 48 hours had passed, we were charged £18 per umbrella. This is completely unreasonable, especially considering the umbrellas are worth no more than £5 each. This felt very unfair and honestly like being overcharged for no good reason."

"Room was old, small, fire detector falling off ceiling, towel heating bar bad location and can burn yourself coming out of tiny shower. incredible view, pictures in booking were not even close to what the actual room looked like - bath and switch. "
