Funky, fun hotel. The lobby is a little overwhelming (including the scent), and loud on Saturday night (with DJ in downstairs bar); but the rooms/bathrooms were incredibly quiet, well appointed, and comfortable. I've never seen graffiti done so well! Rooftop bar is fantastic - unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy it as it had just poured rain. I think it would be terrific at sunset and we'll make a point to return to enjoy it another time. My only qualm with the rooms is that they are dark. It would be hard to sit in the corner chair and have enough light to read at night - but other than that, we were charmed! Valet parking is definitely the way to go (Mike, the valet, was terrific) as self park is more remote (if spaces across the street are taken) and not easily accessible. The downstairs bar doubles as the breakfast place in the morning. Great coffee and the best quiche ever: fluffy with the perfect thin, crispy buttery crust - would love the recipe!!! Loved the location close to the River Arts District.

Great location for River Arts District area. The hotel is fun and quirky in its design. The only issue I had was that there are WAY too many switches in the guestrooms. Only the main is labeled and if that was off nothing else would turn on. Lights and outlets had multiple switches connected to them so we spent a lot of frustrating moments figuring out how to turn things on and off. ONE light connected to the main is great - ALL of them is unnecessary and leaves a bad guest experience.

The Radical was a great boutique hotel in a very cool area of Ashville. The staff was helpful and friendly, the wait staff especially attentive and engaging. The restaurant, Golden Hour, had a fantastic Vegan Plate - different each night - that was superb.

Slightly disappointed by our stay here. Hotel can’t decide if it wants to be upscale or grungy; decor is close to being great, but not quite there. You have to pay for coffee in your room. Free coffee bar upstairs was under repair. New gym was incredibly cold and spartan. Hotel sits by itself away from downtown and a solid walk to river arts district

Cool hotel in the River Arts district. They seem to be working out some kinks in the service… front desk asked for my information multiple times, no bell service. For the price, I expected more amenities in regards to service. The room was really pretty, beds were very comfortable, bath products were lovely (all by Grown Alchemist), nice coffee in the room. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
