8/10 Very good

Housekeeping & maintenance often take too long to attend to requests or confuse requests between room numbers
Alexio, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great service but disappointing facilities

The service was good and at surface level the room appeared clean. However I mistakenly dropped something under the bed and found months-worth of dust underneath! The finishes were also less refined, a lot of patchwork on the ceiling, many holes on the tiles in the bathroom, etc. Not the usual Radisson standard

Review

front desk was not helpful , many people whom work at the hotel don't know much about hospitality and hotel management on how to treat guest and co-ordination and conduct of the hotel . House keep takes ages to respond to anything. Stay was very average so was the food at the hotel
Natanyia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Radisson Blu Tru to its Brand

A lovely property well positioned and situated. Manager was very helpful. The only reason I am rating them 4 iso 5 is that it took me at least 7 to 8 calls before someone answered the phone at the property when I called to say I would be checking in late. Housekeeping takes forever to come up to your room. Breakfast was a nightmare, too many people and too little space, wait was for at least an hour before you could be seated. I expected a bigger spread for the large 4-star hotel. Other than that, spectacular views from the room and easy access to the Oceans Mall.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A comfortable stay, however the Reception needs to improve their reservation information as there was no record of the booking and payment until the receipt was produced. This occured not once, but four times upon the arrival of our guests at various times. This resulted in a frustrating delay upon check in and again at check out when the Receptionist required payment which had been made well before arrival.
Arnold, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nice Hotel but bad service and experience

No Room Service Drilling at 08h30 in the morning due to maintenance Paid for Executive Lounge Access but the Executive Lounge was not available/functional Requested a dental kit and the manager requested me to visit a shop across the road cause they were not sure if they had received dental kits! Finally he finds one and has it delivered to me. Room phones were not working/not connected as yet Health Spa not opened as yet Limited Breakfast Options - Some Food was cold. Its a very lovely hotel but i think the hotel should have opened when everything was functional and the staff properly trained.
Adrian, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Poor service, unapologetic staff.

Check in was at 3pm. We only got checked in at 5.45pm. After being checked in our beds were not ready in our room and we had to wait till 7pm to get housekeeping to sort it out. Poor excuses from staff who were not apologetic at all and did not keep us informed.No management on duty to listen our concerns, hotels.com tried calling to speak with the staff members but no one answered.Staff at the restaurant are all juniors and learning on the job,we had challenges with our meal orders. Disappointing to know that we were sitting next to one of the owners of the hotel at dinner and we were experiencing such terrible service throughout our stay. At check out which is at 12pm, we had a knock at our door around 11.50, if only welcoming guests was as good as chasing them away.
