Reviews
The staff at the restaurant and reception were genuinely friendly and helpful (5*)— that’s the only reason my rating isn’t lower.
However, the room condition was disappointing: wallpaper peeling off, visible stains on the carpet, and even some exposed wiring near the ceiling where a lamp used to be. The overall cleanliness and maintenance felt neglected. You could sense that the place once had class, but now it’s in need of serious renovation.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the chef clearly cares about quality — but it’s hard to enjoy a nice meal when your room feels worn out and tired.
In my opinion, this hotel currently feels closer to a three-star level at best. I sincerely hope management will invest in proper maintenance to bring the place back to the standard that the name “Radisson Blu” promises.
And the toilet has some cracks.
Something like that should be reported, but if they don't speak German... it just keeps going, and the guests don't feel comfortable with so much disgust.
If you are used to high class Hotels, in the 1980-s DDR/East Germany, then you gonna feel like home here, because that was the feeling i got!
Ok, it was nice, neat, convinient, clean.
But, the AC was a bit noisy, the towels where fringly,
the leather at the bottom om the bed was worn,
the shower was a bit low, so with mine 181 cm, had to bend down a bit to get my head under the shower.
But since this hotel was one of two in several miles, it did its purpose.
But not any very good.
