Radisson Blu Hotel, Karlsruhe

8/10 Good
"The hotel is just off the motorway and is quite remote. There is a large car park with electric chargers. There is a 90 minute charging time allowed before idling fees are incurred. Although there was a Dutch non electric car parked in the bay all night blocking the charger and there did not appear to be any attempt to move it. The fee for the car park is displayed at 17Euros. Initially we did not book the parking but were later offered it at 12 Euros which we accepted. There are some free street parking spots around the industrial estates but a lot of the spaces are designated for the workers in the actual units. Apart from the hotel there are no other facilities on site. The rooms are large and have a mini fridge, kettle and tea and coffee facilities but no milk. Comfortable bed but the air con was a little noisy. The town is accessible by walking over the bridge which crosses the motorway - its takes about 15 minutes. There is a beer garden there but it was shut on the Tuesday we were there. There is a supermarket and a small shop which sells beer. It is a good hotel for a one night stopover"

8/10 Good
"We were here for just one night. It was a convenient location, and the room was nice and quite spacious, though there was no air conditioning, which was miserable in the summer heat wave. They did provide a fan and the windows open, though they kept blowing shut. The staff seemed like they didn't want to be there, never cracking even so much as a smile. But that ended up being the kind of service we got everywhere in Germany. They have limited on-site parking, which was full, so we were directed to a public lot about 100 yards up the street, which was easy & convenient enough."
