Radisson Blu Hotel Berlin

"We came to Berlin for a family reunion at the PEOPLE festival, and then stayed for the Festival of Lights. Loved every minute of our trip!"

"I hesitated a little before booking a room at the Radisson Collection, since it was a bit expensive for the dates I needed. But in the end, I didn't regret it at all. The hotel itself looks like it has been freshly renovated from top to bottom after being closed following the aquarium incident. Even though the aquarium itself was impressive and the new garden doesn't come close to replacing it, everything else looks better, warmer, and more cared for than in the past. The entire property has a warm, luxurious atmosphere the old hotel was missing. Our room was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully laid out. You can tell that they really put a lot of effort into making use of the space in a smart way. The second you enter, you feel like you never want to leave. The only real disappointment in an otherwise excellent room was the shower. The shower floor was somewhat worn and unpleasant, and the water pressure was pretty weak. The atrium and its bar are worth a visit. The bar offers a good selection of cocktails and other drinks, and I particularly recommend checking out their signature cocktails. In the evening, you can sit there and, every hour, "Discover a stunning play of lights in the living tree in the heart of our atrium." In case you're wondering what this show actually looks like, just imagine a three-year-old who just discovered how light switches work. And now multiply that by 50. Don't get me wrong, I genuinely fell in love with this hotel, but that 'show' is not worth looking up to watch. A highlight is the breakfast, which basically has everything you can think of and offers freshly cooked food from the kitchen alongside a big buffet stocked with delicious, fresh food. I honestly had the best French toast of my life here. The staff throughout the hotel exceeded all expectations. Their professionalism and dedication elevate the entire hotel, and I hope management is aware of how lucky they are to have such a team. What particularly stood out was that, despite being thoroughly professional and attentive to their guests, the staff also seemed to genuinely enjoy their work. They joked with each other, laughed together, and appeared to be having a good time while making sure everyone was well looked after. It gave the impression of a genuinely pleasant working atmosphere, and that positive energy carried over to the guests. Overall, the Radisson Collection delivers a proper five-star experience at a reasonable price"

"We had arranged a weekend trip with friends in Berlin and since we wanted to look at a few museums and wanted to go out for a good meal, it was quickly clear that we wanted to try the Radisson for once. The hotel makes a really very good and very well-maintained modern elegant impression, the rooms are very tasteful and well-maintained. (we had one with a small balcony, certainly nice in summer) The breakfast, although with little service from staff, has a decent selection! Why did I only give 4 points? Because I was very annoyed, and right upon arrival! We arrived around 1: 45 PM, had to wait a bit in line, only to find out that the rooms were ready, but since we were over 1 hour too early, we would have to pay 30 or 50 euros for an early check-in to be allowed to check in and bring the suitcases to the rooms! That is not hospitable and a rip-off!"
