Karlsruhe Hotels with Bars

I was originally staying at another hotel for the duration of my holiday to visit some friends in Karlsruhe, but ended up getting the dates mixed and needed an extra night at a hotel. The price for the one night stay I had was really affordable, and it was not a long way from my friends. Even if the stay was only for one night, the hotel and the room itself was really nice! The staff was nice and helpful as well, which made my check-in and check-out very pleasant! The area was nice and quiet, and I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel considering it was only for one night!

Plus: + Value for money as such but largely depending on what deal one can make. + Reception - friendly and efficient. + City Center + Public transport (with a trade off - see under minus) + Breakfast OK but just + Bar service - coffee service excellent + Room very good equipped + Clean + Excellent but expensive garage-parking. Minus: - The Airconditioning is a bad joke! Does not work but they offer you a (good working) ventilator instead! - Avoid if possible the rooms at the frontside corner. A continuous flow of traffic and loud Trams are passing. It’s impossible to open a window without running the risk of hearing damage!

My wife commented this was one of the nicest rooms we have stayed in on our many trips to Europe as she walked in the room. Humidity affects her hair and there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom to remove the excess humidity. Fortunately, there was a plug outside the bathroom with a big mirror on the opposite wall. unfortunately, the bar was eyelevel, but it worked. On day two, the plug did not work. For both of us, it was very, very difficult to find the right spot between too cold and too hot for the shower. Once found it was ok, till someone, somewhere, caused the water to be scalding hot. I personally remember getting burned at least 3 times. Other than these items, showers and getting ready in the morning, the place was great. The arrival staff was superb, especially Tom. The maid was also very helpful about the plug. She brought her vacuum down to test the plug. It was head. She went out of her way for service. When we spoke about the plug at the front desk, one lady said, technicians in on Monday. Someone else heard the conversation and gave us an extension cord which we could plug into the bathroom and use outside the room. Very helpful. Great Bar service and the dinner salad dressing was superb. The bed was much better in terms of support than the bed at the Mercure in St. Germain En Laye. With the tram stop right outside, hotel is very convenient. The 5 steps Up / Down are not friendly with luggage or handicap. We were also in a remodeled room and it was nice. The glass hiding the coffee cups is inconvenient and finding the hot water pot was difficult to find at first. I hope they get the hot water fixed as I would want to stay again.

Every time we pass through Karlsruhe we stay here - the atmosphere is great, staff are wonderful, breakfast is included and many other perks for free (that other hotels have since long stopped providing), fantastic rooms, and even jogging route suggestions. And then the location - so central, easy parking and great shopping, walks and eating possibilities just on your doorstep. Warmly recommended!

The hotel is fine, most importantly the air conditioning worked well as it was really hot over summer. The location was good, across from the train station and an easy walk into town. The thing that undermined our stay was the not funny joke to promise a free gift for booking direct then insulting guests with a SINGLE cheap drink voucher that can be used for two people to SHARE a SINGLE coffee or small pilzner!!! Two people stayed for 4 days and got a drink card for one crappy drink? We didn’t bother to use it as it was worthless and pathetic. Considering we would have got 4 stamps toward a free night when collecting 10 stamps on ********** I lost the equivalent of 50 Euros booking direct.

Location - easy to find but lots of overflowing bins outside the annex which made the areas look less appealing. Staff - excellent, very helpful and pleasant. Room - we were in the annex. Obviously newer part of the hotel. Room comfortable, all the amenities for overnight stay. I cannot remember the room number but it started with 5. Enter building and the lift and look for the 5th floor, our room appeared to be in the 'basement', so after the shortest lift drop we arrive at our room, a mere 5 steps below ground level. We did have a view out but as the weather was threatening we didn't... Breakfast - super selection of fresh food. Decor of restaurant was a bit dated (same comment for hotel foyer). Clean. We took advantage of the parking - would've been slightly problematic with a 5m long Saab to access the garage, no problem for a Golf. Will go again, just hope the binmen have been.

The parking is small, so when you arrive at 21:00 there is no place you need to park along the road. The matala is soft, my husband has had to put it on matala on the ground because with his 1m99 he had the impression of sleeping in a hole. The staff of the evening were tired and little more at the arrival. We didn't take breakfast, so we can't judge it. Tram and road traffic is present but not too annoying, our room was given on the back. There is no air conditioning and in canicule time it was a little difficult!

We were from Friday to Sunday for a concert in Karlsruhe and had little rights to a hotel. First of all the good: breakfast was good and we were welcomed friendly. However, our room was a conception: lubricant walls and a wooden ceiling decorated by floors. The bathroom was clean and the mattresses were good, so we stayed, especially as most hotels were booked. The condition of the room was known, we were informed. Very bad, because we had booked very early.

Reception, reception and restaurant looks pretty! Price of the room was also fine. But the room was dirt. Hair on bed and sanitary was not well cleaned. We received a new room offered, but that had the same problem. The next room too, but we just accepted it because it was late. The reason for three stars is for the lady that helped us and it also found it super annoying. That very friendly and guest-oriented lady! Only the hotel must have arranged the base of a hotel!

This is the closest hotel to the Karoo Railway Station. It is a 2-minute walk from the train station and there are trams and bus stops at the door, so the traffic is extremely convenient. The facilities in the room are quite ordinary, but the layout is reasonable and very clean. There is breakfast available downstairs from the hotel, starting from 6.30am, the price is 12 euros. The price/performance ratio of breakfast is still very high, it is recommended.
