Nowhere near as good as the brand reputation and price would suggest. Things started well as they gave me a free upgrade to a king size bed. But the first thing I saw on the hotel room was no plugs by the bed!

Maybe once upon a time that didn't matter, but now it's a necessity, and it seems this hotel hasn't got with the times. You would need at least a 3/4m cable to comfortably use your phone in bed whilst it was on charge. Absolutely ridiculous.

The entrance is incredible with the fish tank there, but things like that don't make up for the necessities when in your room.

The bathroom door is unnecessarily loud, and in general you can hear and feel other guests closing doors. I've felt and heard doors being closed through the wall and ceiling. Once whilst in bed a neighbouring guest closed a door and I felt the vibrations all through the wall.

The shower was awful! It took a long time to get it to the right temperature, then sometimes the temp would change whilst showering. The shower pressure was really low too, not what I expect from German showers in general. The shower I had in a 28/night flat was way better than the one in Radisson Blu, in fact every other shower I've had in German hotels has been way better than this one.

The hotel tv is stupid, not letting guests use the HDMI inputs on the TV is ridiculous! You will lose many of us new professionals who would assume we can use the TV as a monitor for use with our computers. The locks on the TV are stupid, and pointless as the instructions to circumvent these locks are widely available online.

If this hotel was much cheaper or less well known I guess my review might be different, but this was far from the luxury that the brand seek to portray. But I don't think I'll be staying here again, despite the convenient location.
