Hotel Beim Schupi Karlsruhe

Stayed here for 5 nights whilst visiting my local office which was a 10 minute walk , On arrival to my room my first impression was this is very small but as I am from US and use to big hotel rooms I just put it down to the European standard especially in smaller hotels . That Said it was clean and shower was very nice , I had a room away from the road so didn’t hear traffic or trains ,I would ask for this if staying there Staff were friendly and helped if I needed anything Breakfast had a good variety of cold and hot food They also have a restaurant and beer garden which is nice Overall it was a pleasant stay

I feel bad giving this place a bad review, because it was otherwise fine. The service was good, the hotel was quick to respond and very helpful when I had to email them before my stay, and the room was nice and clean. However, the whole point of a hotel is to have somewhere to sleep, and I barely got any. My room had a window facing a fairly busy road, and the window did barely anything to keep the noise level down. It's also next to some train tracks, and while there weren't many trains, they were loud when they did pass by. The curtains are not blackout, which I think should be standard. I was woken up by the bright light very early in the morning and could not get back to sleep. You could also hear people in the other rooms, when they showered or flushed the toilet, and could hear them walking around. Perhaps I just had a bad room (number 27) but I would not risk staying here again. I did like that the windows could fully open, so it was easy to properly ventilate the room (a must in pandemic times).
