The hotel is located in the western part of the city, directly on the B10, a main access road coming from the A8. It is only about 1 km to the motorway itself (Pforzheim West exit). The building is 6 stories high and has about 200 rooms. In my opinion, the hotel was built in 2005/2006. Everything is in perfect condition. The clientele during our short stay was mainly male, with the guests primarily from the trade, craft and business sectors. We were at the Arcusklinik in Pforzheim for a preliminary examination. The hotel has a special rate for patients at this clinic. We paid €95.50 for our double room on the 4th floor, including breakfast and parking; you can't complain about that. WiFi was included. There is a bus stop very close by. The bus goes from here directly to the main station or the city center (distance about 4.0 km). Stuttgart Airport is about 50 km away; it is about 30 km to Karlsruhe. The first telephone contact when making the reservation was very positive. The subsequent greeting in the hotel itself was also OK; unfortunately, there was a mistake with our booking. Our reservation was for a day later. Contrary to all custom, I foolishly did not receive a reservation confirmation by email. The error would have been noticed early on. But the nice gentleman at the reception (Mr. Rödel?) tried to correct this mishap, which he succeeded in doing. All other questions were answered exhaustively, so that nothing stood in the way of a pleasant stay. All in all, we were very satisfied. The rest of the staff (breakfast room) were also very friendly and helpful. As a guest, you feel comfortable. One negative point must be noted, however. The rooms are no longer obligatory to be cleaned daily. This is only possible on express request. A corresponding written notice is available; however, it would be desirable if you were informed of this verbally when checking in. The argument for this change in cleaning is environmental protection / CO2 footprint. But I couldn't shake the thought that this was primarily to save on staff. The hotel itself does not have its own restaurant. However, you can eat very well in the Pizzeria Allegro, which is right next to the hotel. The hotel's breakfast room is on the 6th floor. The breakfast was very good and contained everything you would expect from a hotel of this category (coffee, tea, juices, sausage, cheese, jam, eggs, sausages, various types of bread and rolls, etc.). Care was taken to replenish the food on time and to clear the tables promptly. In any case, we were very satisfied. Our double room (with air conditioning) was about 22 square meters and had a separate desk, satellite TV and a small refrigerator that can also be used as a minibar. There is no room safe.
