I booked a standard room, but upon check-in, the receptionist informed me that these rooms are only located on the first floor—something that wasn't mentioned in the hotel description. They offered an upgrade to a higher floor for an additional €20 per day, which adds up to a significant amount for longer stays.

On the bright side, the room had everything needed for a comfortable stay, including a fridge, coffee maker, kettle, and iron. The breakfast was delicious, and the hotel also has a gym and a sauna.

However, the air conditioning was very noisy and barely cooled the room. Another major downside is that the hotel is surrounded by highways, making it extremely noisy, even at night if you keep the windows open.

That being said, the staff were very accommodating and always ready to help.

Clean room, nice spa, very nice staff! I was especially thankful for the General Manager who was so kind to us. We tried to pay for parking on the way out and she was taking care of the front desk while her employee was somewhere else. She could not ring us up and just gave us a ticket to get out. She didn’t make us wait and was very kind.

An overnight say whilst travelling from France to Germany. Was easy to find - situated in a business area.

Parking was easy but started a bit on the expensive side initially offered at 17Euros but was reduced to 12.

As the hotel is situated in a business area there is nowhere walkable to eat so was forced to use the hotel restaurant. The staff were excellent and the food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Upon first impressions the room was lovely but unfortunately after returning to it after dinner found that neither the kettle nor the fridge were in working order. The shower head fixture was broken so could not be altered in either height or angle - luckily there was a bath but made it a bit difficult to wash my hair.
I did pop down to reception to request a kettle but was told they were all locked away for the night. At the same time I reported the other room defects- I was offered another room but at 10pm I did not feel like moving all my luggage so had to do without my cup of tea. ( would have been nice if they had sent one up via room service)

A hotel of this standard should be checked regularly and should not have all these faults in one room.

If passing through again I would probably stay again but would check all the amenities to make sure they were working before I unpacked..

Easy access hotel and nice staff

The “suite” had two rooms, but the second room was really an office with chairs and a desk rather than a living-room seating area, which was not that convenient. It was also located near the three lifts / elevators, so we had that noise in the evenings and early mornings (before 0600 as many guests had to get to work).

The hotel is under refurbishment so the lobby isn't exactly functional.
Good rooms, good value. I only have one complaint. Looking at the hotel description before booking I could not find that there was a fee for parking, most Radissons I have been to have not charged. Once I get the confirmation I can see that there is a Euro 15 charge which is a significant increase. Apart from that, we were pleased.
This is an industrial area but \"downtown\" was only a 1 km walk away with a good choice of restaurants.

A lovely surprise ✨

I was a bit dubious on the approach to the hotel - next to a busy motorway, on an industrial estate, nothing else around - but was pleasantly surprised how great this place was. Huge, well decorated, very clean rooms. My daughters even described it as “posh”! There are two restaurants on site but we didn’t use either of them although the menus sounded nice. We also didn’t stay for breakfast as we had a very early start. We ventured to nearby Karlsruhe for food in the evening and a walk round so the hotel was in fact, very well placed for that. I would definitely recommend and if we come back to the area, we would stay here. Room rates were very good.

Alright for a night

Unfortunately I underestimated the noise that would come from the outside. It's nice to see a redecorated hotel - the rooms look like the picture looking forward. However as soon as you turn around and see the wardrobe and minibar it becomes clear that they could've and in my opinion should've done the whole room and not just half. While it was a nice stay and we appreciated the spa area it wasn't quite so great to be woken up by housekeeping at 8am on a weekend who afterwards came around knocking every 10 minutes.

Very relaxing stay

Stayed for 3 nights and it was a very relaxing stay indeed. The hotel was very clean and tidy, with a calming atmosphere. Its stated that it boasted a gym which i found rather laughable, 2 exercise bikes and a rower. This could be improved upon. But the meals were excellent and the beer was superb along with the breakfast. So overall this was a good hotel. One only drawback was its not near anything to walk to so you need a car or you like a good hike to the nearest pub etc...!! Also a minor gripe i did not have a kettle in my room, Speaking of the room, it was clean tidy and very pleasant couldnt grumble at all. would recommend it to anybody.

Drei Nächte im Radisson Blu Hotel Karlsruhe – für uns das erste und definitiv letzte Mal.

Der Check-in war direkt ein schlechter Start. Der Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption war mehr mit seinem Handy beschäftigt als mit uns. Kein freundlicher Empfang, keine Infos zu Frühstück, Spa oder Fitness – einfach nichts.

Unsere Zimmerkarten haben jeden Tag Probleme gemacht, sodass wir mehrfach wieder zur Rezeption mussten. Eine Entschuldigung? Fehlanzeige. Die Karten wurden kommentarlos ausgetauscht.

Die Parkplatzsituation ist ärgerlich: 17 € pro Tag in einem Industriegebiet ist schlicht überzogen. Gleichzeitig hat man bei später Anreise kaum Alternativen.

Sauberkeit war in Ordnung, das Zimmer auf den ersten Blick gut, aber mit deutlichen Gebrauchsspuren.

Das Frühstück ist solide, aber nichts Besonderes.

Die Sauna wirkt relativ neu, aber das Konzept ist fragwürdig: Gäste, die in den Fitnessbereich wollen, laufen durch den Nacktbereich. Durch die großen Glasflächen fühlt man sich zudem schnell beobachtet – unangenehm.

Fazit: Für uns keine Wiederholung. Dafür gibt es in der Umgebung bessere Optionen.
