This hotel is a distance outside the interesting and pretty town of Stralsund. The only reason for staying here is the wellness - the Hansa Dom. When we atayed at this hotel several years agao it was under the Dorrint management and access to the Hansa Dom was free. Now this hotel charges over 20 euros for a day pass and 7 euros for after 6pm. So now the wellness is no longer part of the hotel price this hotel is not worth staying at. It is too far from the cenrtre which is accessible by 3/4 buses, but in March when we visited the buses were too infrequent to make the journey worthwhile,I enjoyed my first stay here but the hotel has deteriorated. Little things like the towels - poor quality, very thin and small. The internet was abysmal. Every few minutes it needed the password again- this became so infuriating I stopped trying to use it. It was impossible to use skype. The worst aspect was the attitude of the staff.I asked the staff to look after an injection for me as it needed to be refrigerated. When I asked for it back, the restaurant staff just shrugged and said they couldn't find it. Their attitude over something so important was appalling. I finally got it back and an apology from the manager but this wasn't enough. I would never stay here again.

We recently spent three nights at the Radisson Blu in Stralsund. Overall, I would have to give this hotel top marks, but with a few comments.The Good: The hotel itself is of high quality, and the staff, particularly Ina at the check-in desk, were just excellent all around. We have a one year old, so we are a little more demanding than the average customer, but the staff handled our requests with ease, be it a fan, water heater, getting baby food heated up, or some oatmeal for breakfast. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, both at the front desk and the restaurant . Even the cleaning staff was friendly as we passed them in the halls.The breakfast, although pricy (get it in the room rate if you can) at ¿¿¿18/person was of high quality. We have been at other high end hotels in the past and noticed that the breakfast went down in quality on Saturday and Sunday mornings (when presumably there are more leisure travelers paying lower room rates). This was not the case here ¿¿¿ the same items were available every morning. The room itself was of good quality. Radisson pitches itself as a competitor to Mariott and Sofitel. Other Radissons that I have stayed at were of that caliber. However this one just wasn¿¿¿t there. But this hotel is a bit of an oddball ¿¿¿ it is a Radisson, but it is also geared for families with the attached HanseDom. If you are expecting the sobriety of a business class hotel, you will be let-down. However, if you are expecting a very high class family hotel, you will be well rewarded.The hotel does have some faults with its facility. There seem to be two types of rooms ¿¿¿ with and without balconies. The balcony rooms overlook the Hansedom ¿¿¿ those without overlook a supermarket/mall. This in itself is not a problem ¿¿¿ the mall has a green roof and is not an eyesore. However, there is a problem that the delivery trucks start rolling up before 5am and keep going for several hours, starting and idling their diesel motors, which makes the room rather noisy. At one point on Friday morning, there were 13 trucks parked outside. Trucks by themselves would not be a problem, but the room has no circulation. Zero. If you want circulation, you need to open the windows (of which there are four). With the windows open (even with the blinds closed), there is adequate circulation, but the constant sounds of trucks starting and idling was impossible to sleep to. Closing the room sealed out the sound, but it became instantly stuffy and warm. There is also a little swamp between the hotel and the supermarket which ensures that there is a constant supply of mosquitoes in the room if the windows are open. I count at least 15 dead mosquitoes on the ceiling and walls (probably half of which I left there). We didn¿¿¿t sleep well the first night. Pay for either a balcony room or make sure that you get a fan at check in. With a fan, we slept well the following two nights after letting the room cool down (by opening the windows) for a few hours in the evening.The bathroom has a passing scent of sewage. It is not present most of the time, but when you use the sink, somehow some gas escapes the drain and you get a little whiff of it. It is not enough for me to say that you should not stay here, but management really should address why it is happening. It is not pleasant and should not happen at a four star hotel. The shower also needs better pressure. It took my wife over ten minutes to get the shampoo out of her hair, and her hair is only shoulder length. I understand that toiletries add quite a bit to the cost of running a hotel and I like the fact that hotels are now using larger bottles of soap and shampoo rather than the disposable ones that you usually find. However I would also expect a four star hotel to have a bottle for soap and a bottle for shampoo. The combined soap/shampoo bottle doesn¿¿¿t work well for either. So, kudos for saving the environment, but please don¿¿¿t be so cheap

This is a nice hotel located outside the city. Excellent for families with young kids that loves to play in the pool. If adding on the entrance fee to the hotel stay you have unlimited access to the pool area and sauna and can easily spend a day at the indoor waterpark. Easy access to the waterpark and you leave your room dressed only in your bathrobe and take a short walk through the reception area. Limited dinner choices within the hotel lowers the rating a bit but in general a very good hotel for a vacation with the family.

The Radisson Blu is one of only a few international hotels in Straslund, so it was always going to be a pretty safe bet: large, clean rooms with all the facilities you need and excellent service. The breakfast was good and the spa that's attached to the hotel is superb; people clearly come from miles around to enjoy the pools, saunas and slides.The only really problem with the hotel, at least for travellers without a car (like us) is the hotel's location. The fact that's well outside the city center means we had to rely on buses that only run until 8 p.m. each day.One other thing: for some reason, the fans in the bathrooms are extremely loud and seem to go on for ever. In fact, they are so loud that I was woken up both mornings by the fan from the room next door shortly after 6 a.m. Let's hope they sort this out before our next visit.
