Das Zimmer war recht klein und das Bett leider für uns zu weich. Kein Kühlschrank. Ansonsten war alles okay - das Personal sehr freundlich. Wir hatten lediglich ein Problem den Eingang zu finden. Und da wir mit dem Auto angereist sind und die Tiefgarage zu war, war es etwas schwierig zu parken um einzuchecken.

Short stay

Good reasonably central location for Karlsruhe. Convenient underground parking. Trams run directly past hotel entrance and can be a bit noisy at night/ early morning as they pass, but this is to be expected in the location. Rooms and bathrooms clean and comfortable.

Avoid - waste of money

Our flight was delayed so we arrived 2 hour later. Midnight instead of 10pm. No one there to check us in, hotel locked and not answering the phone. Left us stranded in middle of night and had to pay extra for a hotel 30 mins away

Tür zum Hotel fast immer offen. Nachts Geschrei, Gehämmer und Randale, als wenn ein Zimmer demoliert wird. Tagsüber ging es weiter-allerdings keine Erreichbarkeit an der Rezeption. Nächste Nacht genauso. Wiedergutmachung des Hotels nicht erfolgt, ebenso wie die Rechnung per Mail. Absolut nicht zu empfehlen!!!

Nothing "Ruhe" about this hotel

This is the noisiest hotel I have ever stayed in. It is positioned at an extremely busy intersection, so even in a room on the 4th floor, the traffic and noise is considerable. The room resounds with the constant rumbling of the tram (Straßenbahn), which also screeches as it turns the corner. To make matters worse, there was construction in the building, which produced a symphony of drilling and pounding sounds beginning around 8am. Impossible even to have a phone conversation. I stayed here for 6 days and was quite actually exhausted from the lack of sleep. I took note of the hotel manager yelling at the housecleaning staff about not working fast enough (the man didn't even stop his berating as I walked by). Others have mentioned the breakfast, which is decent. The staff in the breakfast area were always friendly, and if anything needed to be replenished, they were happy to do so.
