Budget hotel, location is very good, 15 minutes from the main station and 10 minutes from the city center. The rooms are clean, beautiful and cozy. Unfortunately there are no refrigerators in the rooms. The staff is friendly.

Anyone who loves life and the big city is in good hands here. The hotel is located at a busy intersection, it is very loud and the rooms are very noisy. Overall it's a bit old. The breakfast is good, the staff friendly. There is a tram stop directly in front of the hotel, which is served by many lines.

Well located in the middle of Karlsruhe, has a private car park and there was plenty of space when we visited.The staff were lovely and really helpful. The room was nice.The only issue we had was that it was a hot day and there's no air conditioning so the room was uncomfortably hot overnight

Location: Quite central, but well-known junkie district. The tram is right in front of the room so it's very loud.Parking: the hotel has an underground car park that costs €15 per night. If you're lucky you'll get free parking on the side streets.Room: no air conditioning, just a fan. The bed seemed clean at first glance, but when you lay in it you felt itchy everywhere.Our roommate smoked a joint every 30 minutes (even though smoking is not allowed in the rooms) and the smoke wafted into the room and gave us a headache. Personally, I think €65 is too much for that. Luckily it was only one night.We definitely won't sleep here anymore.

Very unfriendly at reception, treated like a dog from 6:30 am...Beds super dirty and completely saggy.While sleeping and driving home, all 3 of us had a prickly feeling. When we got home, we washed ourselves with Isobetadine to disinfect.JUST DISGUSTING HOTELDO NOT SLEEP HERE!!!

Quite a good hotel with nice staff. Breakfast is simple but ok. The rooms look quite good but on closer inspection we found some things that could have been better. The TV didn't work at all. The shower and toilet could have been cleaned more properly and there already was some damage on window knobs and other little things. There also was a questionable substance sitting on the side of a chair which was a bit nasty. All in all we had a good time and slept pretty well. The beds are very good but the sound of the trams can be a bit loud at night and early in the morning. Would I visit again? Yes I would.

It’s a nice hotel located right on the main busy street of Karlsruhe. Train station and bus stops are just outside the hotel, making very convenient to travel anywhere in the city. Day pass allows you to travel 24hours within the city. The People on Reception are very friendly and helpful. We got a very nice and big room. One thing which they could have add extra in the room is one complementary water bottle and glasses which they don’t provide during the stay. Overall a good experience Budget friendly and nice. They do have in-house breakfast service.

If you want to stay in the center and want it to be clean and have enough breakfast, don't think twice, we were very pleased.

Absolutely horrible room! In the hallway to the rooms, the ceiling is peeled all the way down, which made it super unsafe to look up into a lot of wires. The room STINKS of sewage and feels dirty. No one at the reception after 11 pm. Not child-friendly.

I wouldn't book this hotel again. The room, which smelled of smoke, was decorated quite attractively, but the bathroom was tiny and everything seemed unkempt.If you have a room facing the street, the tram practically runs through the room, the area around the hotel looks like the local drinking scene and the reception is only separated from the construction site, which was probably once the lounge and is now supposed to be the breakfast area, by a curtain that is too small. A window at the construction site was covered with newspaper.Everything is somehow dingy and you can't even begin to feel comfortable.

Good hotel. To go from the reception to the main body of the hotel you must exit on the road but for the rest it's ok. The building is not the newest but rooms are quite confortable and clean. Small bath but has all you need. Breakfast is very good. The price is a little bit high for the neighborhood. Some good restaurants at walking distance.

Very centrally located hotel. The center can be reached in 5 minutes on foot or in 1 minute by train. Friends of mine sleep there regularly and have all been very satisfied so far.

The check inn staff was clumsy and clumsy. A required invoice could not be created directly by the employees.Two elevators lead to the hotel corridors: there were leftover food and dust on the floors, the mirrors were also dirty, and the first feeling of disgust is already creeping in here. Old, worn-out carpets with several stains adorn the dark hotel corridors, which are decorated with surveillance cameras every 2 meters. The ceilings in the hallways are pure and full of holes like the carpets. When you arrived in the room you were surprised with a pungent sweet smell. The floor covering corresponds to that in the hallway. It's the same holey and heavily soiled carpet. The bathroom is impressively small and narrow. The walls are losing a lot of plaster. After spending the night in extremely poor quality bed linen, you were immediately woken up from your tiredness with nausea because of the pungent smell of the room. Although we went to the breakfast buffet on the 4th floor, we were greeted at the coffee machine by coffee cups that were dirty because they had not been completely cleaned, so that the complete disgust from all the points mentioned overwhelmed us so strongly that we skipped breakfast and left in no time are.The depiction of the website does not correspond to the actual situation at all, and I don't know who gave a positive review here. It is absolutely unclean, outdated and it stinks massively. Hands off!
