"Very nice and newly renovated hotel in the heart of the city! The hotel staff was very friendly and had good suggestions on things to do around the city. Karlsruhe downtown is easy to explore and everything is walkable from the hotel. There is also a public transit station right in front of the hotel in case you want to go further. With the central location comes the only downside, it’s not ideal if you travel with a car as you can’t drive up to the front door of the hotel to unload and near by...

"Everything was adequate for a stay near the train station. There was an issue with their computers that didn't allow them to program the room key, so the front desk would have to run up and open our door each time, which he did quite quickly. Room was a decent size and the air conditioning worked which was great for the hot day that we stayed there. Super close to the train station (5 minutes walk), we were able to catch our train easily."
