Funky fun hotel right in the river Arts District. We would stay here again. We ordered breakfast from the café and it was delicious. The room could’ve had more areas to put your luggage and suitcases on, but it was very nice and we had a great view of the river. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel
The hotel is really cool but I was disappointed in housekeeping. The first morning I noticed the water, coffee, and tissues (which were empty) were not replaced. I left a note for the second morning and the coffee and tissues were still not replaced. 2 water bottles were left, which looked like they were filled with tap water. Also, there was only one person in the breakfast area this morning and a long line waiting for coffee and food. There should be at least 2, especially when we're talking about coffee :-)

This is such a unique and quirky hotel and we loved every bit of it! We were on our way to Savannah and needed a place to stay for one night and the Radical did not disappoint!! What a sweet surprise!
We ate at the restaurant, then went to the rooftop bar and then in the morning had delicious cappuccinos in their in-house cafe.
We also walked the surrounding area where we saw lots of dogs being walked and even some cats but really, this hotel has everything, you don’t need to leave for a thing.

Stylish Hotel
Our stay was great. The hotel is stylish, clean and welcoming. The bed and pillows a little too soft. The only downside was the restaurant The Golden Hour. The food was mediocre. But the hotel and hotel staff are excellent,

The radical hotel is very fun. The decor is unique. My room had brick walls, oversize paintings and graffiti with excellent furniture. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was a lot of fun and I recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay, staff was friendly, loved the ease of morning coffee at Afterglow and a rooftop cocktail. Saturday morning yoga on the Roof was amazing! And rooms were well equipped and fun. Would definitely stay here again!
