I stayed in the hotel for a 4-night short break and can only say it was a really great hotel.Rooms clean, breakfast lots of choice, everyone tried very hard and was extremely friendly and accommodating.What should be highlighted is the reception, especially Valerija, who always has a smile on her face and no wish remains unfulfilled.

I had a really nice stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Karlsruhe. The rooms were super nice, tidy and clean - really a fresh experience. The staff were professional and helpful, both in reception, bar and restaurant, which contributed to a positive atmosphere throughout the stay.The breakfast was good and contained a wide selection. However, it is a shame that the scrambled eggs were of the powder type, which lowered the overall impression somewhat.In summary, a really good hotel with a high standard, although the breakfast could have been a bit better. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Prices in the restaurant are adjusted to the occupancy of the hotel. High occupancy = higher prices for the food!

Basically an average Radisson as you know it, but the service here is at the worst level ever experienced. Unfortunately, as a guest with a VIP level, it wasn't the first time that the VIP counter was the only manned counter for faster check-in. So I waited in line for almost half an hour to check in. When asked, it was said that there were absences due to illness. This justification is given as standard and has already been received several times. Strangely, every time we arrive, there seems to be only one member of staff at check-in due to illness. What a coincidence... We wanted to use our early check-in as VIP guests and were given room xyz. Unfortunately our room was not ready. When we arrived we found HouseKeeping. The lady, who was obviously overwhelmed and irritated by the situation and spoke no German and hardly any English, asked us - equally surprised at the encounter - to wait another 15 minutes. There were about 20 of them, but the housekeeper was very friendly and helpful. She felt a little sorry for her after her description that the reception had told her that the room was now available, etc. About 15 minutes after we were able to move into the room, another lady from housekeeping burst into our room without knocking or anything like that. "Oh. Sorry. I was told to clean this room?". Overall, everything was very disorganized and, as usual, with excuses and hypocritical justifications from the reception. Good is different.

Price/quality = perfect. Spacious parking, spacious beds. Friendly staff, easier to eat something in the evening. The room coffee machine malfunctions and we lost 50% of the pods. Too bad the shower glass doesn't have a silicone band at the bottom. Even with careful action, the toilet will flood. The extraction had also lacked thorough maintenance.

Unfortunately, we were at the hotel after our wedding party and were greeted by several insects in the room. …
