The only good thing about this place is its location! My experience here includes homeless people staying in my room acting as if they were regular guests, aggresive attitudes from the same homeless people (I left the apartment because I was not feeling safe!), a massive infestation of bed bugs (I was bitten a lot everyday) that hostal personnel do not care about (bed bugs can transmit important vector-borne diseases), blood in my bed sheets, food theft, aggressive guests, dirty bathrooms and bad smell.Totally would not recommend this place.

As many say, the only good thing is the central location of the hostel. Other: Bed bugs and coffee machine whose soup function is a rip-off.

The bathrooms were very unhygienic and smelly. In addition, the beds were full of bed bugs. Very uncomfortable feeling. I can't recommend it!

I am extremely dissatisfied with the apartment I booked. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired - the pictures didn't correspond at all to the actual conditions. The shower and toilet were extremely dirty and unhygienic. Based on these experiences, I cannot recommend the apartment to anyone.To make matters worse, I complained about these deficiencies but received no response. The service was just as bad as the apartment itself. Overall a very disappointing experience.

Nice hostel in the heart of Karlsruhe, a bit hidden but easy to reach by public transport.Very friendly welcome, everything was explained and shown calmly upon arrival. The room was spotlessly clean, with a locker to lock. Shower also perfectly fine. I was alone in the shared room and heard almost nothing from other guests. Despite the central location, it was very quiet.Edit:Unfortunately I have to take back the positive feedback.As many other guests have reported, bed bugs in the room. I saw the insects but didn't think anything of it. The light was on and all sorts of six-legged friends came into the room. But explains where the thick stitches on the skin come from.

On 15.05.2024 I arrived to the Hostal Gästehaus Kaiserpassage. At night I discovered that my bed was infested with bed bugs, there was another guy in the same room and he said that his bed was fine. I checked the other two beds in case I could get some sleep in the other bed and they were infested as well, I took photos and video of the bugs. I couldn't stay and at 2 am I had to leave, take a shower and find a place to sleep.It was the worst experience ever. The place is horrible, the kitchen and bathroom are dirty, and in general, the place is not a pleasant place to stay.I´m requesting a refund for the total i paid since I did not sleep there for obvious reasons and since I had to pay 150 euros for a place to stay.

All the facilities like the tram station, Market, KIT University, most of the restaurants are near to this hostel. It's like just a few minutes of walking and you are done.

I stayed here for one night at the end of the year.The room, toilet, and kitchen were very clean and comfortable.Also, you don't have to worry about losing your key as it is entered by number.It was a room for 4 people, but I was the only one in the room, so I felt very relaxed.If I have a chance, I would like to stay here again.If there is one problem, it is that the entrance is a little difficult to find.It would be great if there were photos or videos explaining the path to the entrance.

We were there last night with our class to do our internship, we left the hostel for a few hours, when we came back we changed our pillows and saw dozens of bed bugs, we went to the other rooms to check and it was the same. The problem was that there was no staff on site and we had to manage on our own, which ruined our internship and our night. We had to find another hotel and our parents had to pick us up. Don't go.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the other guests.The rooms could be cleaned more often.I didn't use the showersI always took a shower in the indoor pool because it wasn't clean.I won't go there again.
