"Very good"

"This is my go-to hotel when I am in Karlsruhe for business. The location works well, the restaurant is good, and the cigar bar is a nice touch. The staff is generally friendly and professional. The spa area is one of the highlights: spacious, clean, with a nice bar, a solid pool, and especially excellent saunas. That part of the hotel feels well maintained and thoughtfully designed. However, the rooms are a completely different story. Some of the single rooms feel extremely outdated, almost like a small guesthouse from decades ago. The design, furniture, and overall atmosphere do not match the standard suggested by the common areas. Even the suites, while better, are still clearly dated. It honestly feels like two separate worlds: modern public spaces and spa versus rooms that have not kept up with the same standard. If you book here, pay close attention to the room category. The difference is significant. And if you expect a more modern or premium room, be prepared for rates above €200 per night. Overall, a good business hotel with strong facilities, but the room quality is inconsistent and does not fully align with the rest of the property."

"Great spacious rooms. Clean. Comfy bed. Great shower"

"Basic rooms - the worse pillow I have ever experienced. No fruit at breakfast "

"Small, local hotel with conscientious owners/staff who pride themselves in their business. Immaculately Clean, personalized service & care, delicious breakfast buffet. We would happily return! "

"The room itself was OK, and the "hotel" was not so difficult to find. The problem was access. I got a message in German, but not being German it was not of any help. I could see a code on it, I guess to access the hotel, but it did not work. I called for help, and the phone was answered and was manager was helpful. I was able to get into the building. Then I could not access the room. The message received only had one code. I was advised that they would send me a code to access the room, and that once inside, a tag could be used for electronic entry. Sadly, the tag only worked on an intermittent basis, as did the electronic lock. I went out to get something to eat, and could not access the room again. On each occasion I had to contact the manager, it was time consuming and not what I needed at the end of a long day. Another problem was the lack of any WiFi. I tried to cal the owner again the following morning - he declined my call. The room itself was OK, but I would think twice about staying again."

"Our host was not able to accommodate all of our small group, so my husband and I took their suggestion of ibis Styles downtown. It was a 7-minute walk from the hotel to our host's house. And convenient to the 'village' of shops near by. The hotel was modest and clean, the room was efficiently laid out, the breakfast buffet had something for everyone. I now know that ibis has locations in other parts of Germany and I would not hesitate to stay at an ibis hotel in the future."

"I recommend this property to everyone!"
