Spacious and well-equipped rooms at the back are in a quiet location. The breakfast buffet is excellent! And now there finally seems to be caffeine-free coffee thanks to the commitment of the service staff present at breakfast - high praise!

The obviously fairly new Novotel Karlsruhe is very centrally located, everything can be reached on foot in just a few minutes. Parking garage under the hotel for €24.00 per night. …

Overnight stay Sunday to Monday, price reasonable, very pleasant and well signposted garage with hotel spaces, large room with minibar, Accor drinks voucher is of no use if the bar is closed, but the minibar was included. I would choose again if the price is right. I was really happy, especially since I had stayed in a Mercure the day before, which was a bit shabby. Everything is very good here. I always think that Excellent is a bit exaggerated as a rating.

Great hotel! Quiet, calm (like the whole city), just a super breakfast with high-quality products, very comfortable beds, panoramic windows, the city center is a 10-minute walk away, there is a sauna and a gym. We didn’t regret staying, there is a 2+2 family offer with a 50% discount on the second room and children have free breakfast, for adults breakfast costs 25 €/person.

Had a very pleasant stay. The room was big and clean. The only downside is that there is no desk in the room, it should be noted in case you plan to get some work done.

I liked this hotel a lot. Because I could use the gym 24 hours a day 😉But on a serious note, the positive things:- the location is good, just roundabout a 10 min walk to be in the city- gym, a lot of cardio so they could expand more on weights. But it was open at any time, got a disinfectant, towls, and water fountain. Top top top- the breakfast was amazing, the variety of the fresh cooked things just awesome- a mini bar that was free and, for that matter, a refrigerator. Again, awesome.- the rooms were spacious.- you could grab some apples in the lobbyNegative:- the price for the garage parking (if you go there by car)- the stuff was mostly friendly, but there was at least one who didn't know a lot, and you got a feeling that he didn't want to do anything at all. Difficult if you need helpWe had a lovely stay!
