Radisson Blu Hotel, Hamburg Airport

Hotel Description

You know what? The Radisson Blu at Hamburg Airport actually surprised me – and I don’t say that lightly about airport hotels. I mean, let’s be honest, most of them feel like sterile waiting rooms with beds, but this one has some genuine character to it. The moment you walk in, there’s this sleek Scandinavian vibe that feels intentional, not like someone just threw modern furniture at a lobby and called it a day. The check-in was refreshingly smooth too, which matters when you’re dealing with flight delays or early morning departures.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve thought about the little things that actually matter to travelers. The soundproofing is legit – I was worried about plane noise, but honestly, I slept better here than at some city center hotels I’ve stayed at. The rooms have this clean, minimalist aesthetic that works, and the beds are properly comfortable (not just Instagram-worthy). There’s decent workspace if you need to catch up on emails, and the WiFi actually handles video calls without making you look pixelated. The restaurant serves surprisingly good food too – not just the usual airport hotel fare of sad sandwiches and overpriced pasta. I had their salmon dish and it was genuinely well-prepared, though I’ll admit the breakfast spread could use a bit more variety.

Here’s the thing about staying here – it’s not just about convenience, though that 8.2 rating makes sense when you experience how smoothly everything runs. The staff seem to get that airport travelers are often stressed or tired, so there’s this unspoken efficiency in how they handle things. No unnecessary chit-chat when you clearly just want your key card, but friendly enough when you need directions or recommendations. The location means you’re obviously not walking to Hamburg’s city center for dinner (though the airport train connection is pretty solid if you want to venture out), but sometimes you just need a reliable place to decompress between flights or before an early departure. It’s one of those hotels where everything works the way it should – which sounds basic, but you’d be amazed how many places can’t nail that simple concept.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Hamburg through local agencies that offer personalized recommendations and insider knowledge about the best neighborhoods for exploring the city’s rich maritime heritage.

Reviews

• Jenny from United States – 18 May 2025 (8/10)

  Excellent location for anyone flying in or out of the Hamburg airport. It’s just a short walk to the airport from the hotel. The rooms themselves are large with beautiful bathrooms and bathtubs.
  
  What could be improved: Quite expensive and they really pushed their restaurant which was very expensive. We had only one coffee pod in our room and asked for another and were turned down.

• Ivan from Croatia – 17 May 2025 (9/10)

  location is very good
  
  What could be improved: bed was a little small

• Breno from Brazil – 4 May 2025 (8/10)

  The hotel is very good for those who want to be close to the airport (maybe to catch an early flight). Room is spacious. The staff is polite and friendly.
  
  What could be improved: The sound isolation is terrible. We could hear everything people from the room next to us were saying. That could definetly be improved. For those who want to sleep, maybe this is not a good option

• Selby from United Kingdom – 30 April 2025 (8/10)

  Nice Hotel with nice clean comfortable rooms and a nice bar and lounge area.
  
  What could be improved: I liked everything.

• Sarah from Australia – 10 April 2025 (9/10)

  Hotel was very nice but the restaurant and bar were incredibly expensive and the food was not that great. Room very comfortable and quiet

• Gideon from Israel – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

  We stayed for one night a day before our flight. Main advanatge is definetly the hotel's location right across the road from the terminal. We could literally leave for the flight the next morning 5 minutes before to get there on time, no additional transportation needed. Also great advantage is the possibilty to reach the trains to visit the city directly from the terminal. The hotel itself is very clean, quiet (no airplanes were heard during the stay, which was a bit troubling at first since we were traveling with a baby) and the staff at the reception desk were extremly helful. We got there at 10:00 am and were furtunetly lucky enough to get the room prior to official check-in hours. More to the point the suite we had was super comfortable, big in size and was a great ending to our vacation.
  
  What could be improved: The only thing is that we wanted to have breakfast in the room before leaving the next day. We left the reservation on the outer doorknob as asked, but the next morning we woke up just to realized it was missed 🙁
