The Worst 5-Star Hotel I’ve Ever Stayed In (The Edwardian Manchester)

Is Radisson VIP status actually worth it? In this video, we check into the famous 5-star The Edwardian Manchester (A Radisson Collection Hotel) expecting a premium, luxury experience. Instead, what started as an exciting look at Radisson VIP perks quickly turned into one of the biggest hotel let-downs we’ve ever experienced. Located in the historic Free Trade Hall in Manchester city centre, this hotel is marketed as pure 5-star luxury. But wait until you see the state of the room. From incredibly dated interiors to atrocious, subpar tea and coffee-making facilities, the room completely missed the mark. Worse yet, we found actual holes and visible stains on the bed sheets—definitely not what you expect when paying premium luxury prices. In this honest, unfiltered Radisson Edwardian Manchester review, we break down our entire stay. We look at what Radisson VIP status gives you at check-in, walk you through the room tour from hell, and give you our final verdict on whether this hotel deserves its 5-star title.
