Excellent experience with Radical Storage in Naples. The entire process was smooth, fast, and professional. I left my suitcase there while taking a trip to Capri, and everything was handled perfectly from start to finish. The location was convenient, the staff were friendly and helpful, and I felt completely confident leaving my luggage with them. When I returned, my suitcase was exactly as I left it, and pickup took only a minute. A stress-free solution that allowed me to enjoy Capri without dragging luggage around. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Naples and needing a safe, reliable place to store their bags.

Super easy to get to, located inside the hotel. You just need to show your booking email and they’ll lead you to the storage room, and give you a laminated card with a number on it. You just need to show/return the card when you’re there to get it again. Very smooth process, less stressful than a coin locker in my opinion.

The locker service provided by Edinburgh Waverley station made things extremely convenient for us. Rather than having to drag our bags around the cobblestoned streets of the city before leaving, we managed to safely store our things during our stay there in Edinburgh. The whole process of locking our things was incredibly easy, and the feeling that we didn’t have to worry about our things was just perfect. Not only that, but even when retrieving our bags from the lockers, the customer service provided by the personnel at the lockers was surprisingly great. Not only were they extremely friendly, but they also helped us in getting directions to a nearby restaurant.

Very comfortable, safe and attentive. It’s a shame there was a branch closer to the port and the system directed me to one a bit further away. It would be perfect if the system asked whether you needed a taxi to get there, as lugging suitcases 400 metres over uneven ground in the heat was a bit of a struggle. But I’d 100% recommend both the place and Radical Storage.

It made me loosen up to explore without dragging heavy bags around, and I'd always recommend it to any traveler passing through here. And also it's a very good place to safely leave your luggage in Portsmouth.

Easy to access, straightforward and very good value for money. It definitely beats those classic, expensive storage boxes.

As you head towards the Mexican restaurant on the corner, a member of staff comes out and asks, ‘Luggage service?’ I left two suitcases and a large shoulder bag with them and paid 15 euros.

The process was easy, and the lady running the shop was super nice. She took photos of all the luggage to ensure that everything was logged together and had a locked room for storage items. We popped back for one thing, no problem. I was worried that she might close early, so we grabbed our things before closing and then went to a cafe but, when we returned a half hour later, she was still at the shop. I would do it again.

During our weekend in London, we used two Radical Storage lockers. This was the second one, and we were completely satisfied with the experience. Checking in our suitcase was quick, simple and efficient. The staff are welcoming and friendly, with a touch of humour that’s a real bonus. When we returned, we found our suitcase exactly as we’d left it. A very convenient and perfectly organised service. We won’t hesitate to use it again if the opportunity arises. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We used this service for the first time during our weekend in London and we were delighted with it. The process of handing over our suitcase was quick, simple and efficient. A tag was attached to the luggage and we were given a numbered ticket to collect it. We were 30 minutes late on our return and, despite our apologies, we weren’t charged any extra. A truly excellent service, a very friendly welcome and a great deal of understanding. We’d recommend it without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

About Plaza del Congreso

Plaza del Congreso in Buenos Aires is a central and historically significant public space, located at the western end of Avenida de Mayo. It faces the Argentine National Congress building, an impressive Beaux-Arts construction completed in the early 20th century. The plaza itself, designed by French-Argentine urbanist Charles Thays, was inaugurated in 1910 as part of the city's centennial celebrations of the May Revolution, which led to Argentina's independence.

The layout of Plaza del Congreso is a testament to the grandeur and aspirations of early 20th-century Buenos Aires. It features a number of notable sculptures and monuments, including the Monumento a los Dos Congresos, which commemorates the Congress of Tucumán (1816) and the Constitutional Assembly of 1853. This monument, designed by Belgian sculptor Jules Lagae and Argentine architect Eugenio D'Huicque, features a central fountain and a series of statues symbolizing the provinces of Argentina.

Visitors to Plaza del Congreso can also appreciate the various architectural styles that flank the square, ranging from Art Nouveau to Neo-Gothic. The plaza serves not only as a civic space where citizens gather for protests and public events, symbolizing the democratic spirit of the nation, but also as a cultural hub, reflecting the rich urban tapestry of Buenos Aires. Its dynamic mix of historical resonance and vibrant public life makes it a pivotal site in the urban and cultural landscape of the city.
