Radisson Blu Hotel, Karlsruhe

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"
