Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about the Radisson Blu in Hamburg? The lobby actually feels like Hamburg – there’s this understated elegance that doesn’t try too hard, which honestly captures the city’s vibe perfectly. I mean, you’re not going to get those over-the-top chandeliers you’d find in some chain hotels, but there’s something refreshing about walking into a place that feels authentically connected to where you are.

The rooms hit that sweet spot between modern and comfortable – clean lines, decent space (which isn’t always a given in European city hotels), and those floor-to-ceiling windows that actually open. I know that sounds like a small thing, but after staying in places where you’re sealed in like a submarine, being able to get some fresh air is pretty great. The beds are solid too, none of that rock-hard European mattress situation that sometimes catches you off guard. What I really appreciated was how quiet everything stayed, even though you’re right in the heart of things. The soundproofing is clearly something they invested in, because Hamburg can get lively – especially on weekends when the Reeperbahn crowd spills over into other neighborhoods.

Location-wise, you’re positioned really well for exploring without being stuck in pure tourist territory. The Alster lakes are an easy walk, and honestly, that morning jog around the water is going to be one of those travel memories that sticks. You’ve got the historic Speicherstadt within reasonable distance too, though I’d recommend the U-Bahn for that one unless you’re feeling particularly ambitious. The breakfast spread is better than expected – proper German bread selection, decent coffee, and they don’t skimp on the local touches. Staff wise, everyone I dealt with was straightforward and helpful without being overly chatty, which actually felt very Hamburg to me. The whole experience just works – it’s that 8.3 rating in action, where nothing’s going to blow your mind, but nothing’s going to disappoint you either. Sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to actually experience a city instead of spending your energy dealing with hotel drama.

  We had a really nice view of the city, from the 21st floor. The room was spacious. And we even got a few welcome gifts.
