Kris eM Review of Radisson SAS Hotel Berlin

Why didn't I give five stars? First of all, it seems to me that just visiting Berlin, when the hotel is basically only for overnight stay, is not worth overpaying. There are tons of hotels in the area - some of them half the price offer really very similar Standard rooms. The location is quite good indeed, very close to the river cruise and various museums and the TV tower. The rooms themselves are not very big, I have come across a cheaper hotel where they are bigger. In the era of the coronavirus, the swimming pool was also open for limited hours from 1pm to 8pm. This is the time when you cool down around the city in the summer, visitors stay in cafes. In hotels, I usually go to the swimming pool in the morning or late in the evening. Therefore, in this case, I consider the opening hours of the SPA very misplaced. As for the interior of the hotel, it is very interesting mainly due to the large aquarium which is part of a larger exhibition of underwater life that begins at the end of the building. However, the whole hotel is a bit depressing. It is similar at the pool, it looks a bit like we are sitting in a dark basement, not very pleasant. Therefore, if you are looking for a hotel where you will spend a lot of time, I would seriously consider whether to use the Radisson's offer. There are many hotels in the city with much nicer interiors. When it comes to moving around the hotel, the problem is with elevators, especially in the era of coronavirus, where a maximum of two people can move the elevator. We used the fire escapes frequently so it took a long time to get the elevator. The parking lot is under the hotel, you have to look for a place on it yourself. There is an elevator from the car park to the reception and rooms. In the rooms, apart from the standard equipment, there is a coffee machine and capsules are refilled every day, you can also call the Service and ask for a coffee or milk supply, everything is included in the price. The plan that took our luggage from reception to our room informed us that the drinking water was not refilled, but apparently I was wrong because we got new bottles of water every day. The beds and linen in the rooms are of very high quality. Would I stay at this hotel when coming to Berlin as a tourist? Definitely not, for half the price you can find very nice locations, very good hotels that will be a great base.
