Radisson Blu Hotel Karlsruhe

breakfast and room

Need a car to access the hotel

We experienced a nice and relaxed stay at the hotel. Great buffet for breakfast. Clean rooms and good service.

Location, staff, clean room

Fitness room

Clean, comfortable, friendly staff, free coffee, plenty of shampoo and other toiletries in bathroom

The wifi was incredibly weak (at least on the 5th floor) - even loading a simple webpage was difficult. Having to pay for parking

The common areas are nice, the bed was comfortable.

The shower was the worst shower we ever experienced in a hotel in this price category. It kept going from the temperature you've chosen to suddenly really hot, followed by very cold water. It was impossible to have a shower. The water at first also smelled really bad. We had to let it run for about 5 min to get rid of the smell. The carpet was also really old and outdated. Doesn't feel very hygienic. We talked about those issues at the reception at got a quick apology, that was it. It was not really bad, but cold be a lot better.

The hotel get very big area for parking. And quite place

Aircondition not very cold

breakfast, bar and restaurant were very good

parking cost about 20 euro for 1 night, there is no free parking while they have a huge parking area

The staff was the highlight of this hotel. Valerie, Adam and Mittell made our stay special. The rooms are very good, clean, with coffee machine, water and a good shower. Breakfast is very good. The hotel is 10 minutes away from Ettlingen, and 20 minutes from Karlruhe, so a car is needed. They have onsite parking at 17 euros/day.

The AC did not work during our stay, we had to change rooms 3 times in 2 days to get some relief, and left sleep deprived. The technicians tried to fix the AC, unsuccessfully. The staff was gracious, but there was little they could do, other than giving us a different room. The hotel is close to an expressway, and opening the windows is not an option due to noise. We find 17 euros/day parking fee expensive.

Location was great, just off the highway but in a quiet location. It was easy to check in and offload our luggage at the entrance. We were greeted warmly by the friendly staff at both the reception desk and bar/restaurant. Great service. Food and drink prices were decent. Appreciated the little things, like free peanut snacks during happy hour. Breakfast buffet was a terrific value, similar to the Radisson Blu we stayed at in Bruges in 2022. Always lots of delicious choices. Room was spacious and comfortable. Although we didn't them, the sauna and exercise room were great benefits.

It would have been nice to have a note card in our room to provide an orientation with a short description of available hotel benefits and services and their operating hours.

Hotel is great! Amazing bed!!!! Friendly staff and easy access from highway. Perfect place to stay for a night!Room very modern also!

Parking price is absolutely insane for a hotel in the middle of nowhere. Price your rooms a bit higher and don't charge these insane amounts to park a car in the middle of nowhere. Downtown prices for parking can't be asked at this location.

Confortable hotel, with good breakfast and very good restaurant

the parking is a bit pricey, while there is not really alternative than using it

I had a comfortable 4 days at Radisson Blu Hotel Karlsruhe courtesy of the very good service offered by the hotel staff

Disappointing

2 products in the bathroom were labelled vegan (it did not look like one of the standard labels, so I assume it is the hotel's own labelling), but one of them contained silk (the hand and body lotion) and the other contained honey (the shampoo). Honey and silk are not vegan. This is a disappointing mistake by a hotel chain of this size.

The room and.comfy.bed

It would have been helpful if instructions on how to use the coffee machine in the room had been provided. We tried no luck so used instant instead.

We got this hotel as we needed a place to be able to set a home office day in a long trip. The WiFi is strong enough to have teleconference. Rooms are spacious enough for two people working and they have complementary coffee and tea. It's possible to work up to the end of the breakfast time in the room and then the common area has a good place to keep working.

The area is not nice, this is a business place.

Great location with big parking. Comfortable rooms.Great bed, great bar. And a special thanks to Amos!

Great location just by the autobahn when we were passing by Germany. I appreciated the fitness center and the lovely breakfast. The mattress was a bit hard, but the pillow and blanket were great!

Radisson Blu Hotel Karlsruhe is a place I’ve stayed at more than once – and for good reason. It’s conveniently located outside the city, which makes arriving and leaving super easy when you're on the road. The parking is spacious and safe (for an extra fee, but worth it).The room was spotless, fresh-smelling, and very well maintained. Bedding was high quality, the mattress and pillows were truly comfortable – I slept like a baby. Also, I was pleasantly surprised by the bathroom cosmetics – definitely above average, not your typical “sachet shampoo”.Dinner at the restaurant, however, was a bit of a culinary adventure. The steak was tougher than expected and priced as if it came with a private chef. Luckily, the pumpkin soup saved the evening – thick, aromatic, and genuinely delicious.All in all, this is a reliable and comfortable place to stay with top-notch cleanliness. The restaurant could use a bit of fine-tuning, but everything else was really great.

Passable

Poor breakfast, the room is old with smell from toilet.

They local staff put extra effort to effectively solve a difficult situation, apparently created by the online booking system, in the shortest possible time.The location near the freeway makes of the hotl a very easy stop on a long N-S journey.

... the online booking system (although I undertstood the error was an isolated event. S@!^t happens)
