    The breakfast room was satisfactory, the staff were badly trained, this is not a 5 star hotel, it charges five star rates, but was very a 3 star environment, coffee self service, supermarket style croissants cold, butter cut in cubes and open unsealed, I would say this hotel is a garden city and Radisson Group should go and inspect if it’s worth of its name
