Handy for rail travellers

The hotel caters to the hostel market, so some aspects are quite basic. The breakfast buffet is a good deal, and good range of snacks and drinks can be purchased in the lobby, as well as a take-away sandwich lunch. The hotel was very conveniently located for me as it is right beside the main railway station and I arrived and departed by train. It's not in the town centre, but there is a transit hub in front of the station, with trams and buses coming all the time, so it's easy to get into the town centre. Some of the trams also go out into the countryside, and I rode one out to the northern edge of the Black Forest. Despite the transit and railway activity, my room was quiet.

Good hostel right by the train station

Clean, efficient (very late) registration, good rooms. I had a crazy loud snorer in my room which meant I didn't actually sleep much, but that's no fault of the hostel, obviously.

Great for Business Trip

I stay at this hotel every time I need to be in Karlsruhe because: - Can't beat the location right next to the train station: off the train and into bed - Thanks to the trains station, there is always a taxi cab when you need it - The restaurant is pretty good and will still serve some sandwiches after the kitchen closes at 10pm. There is not much surrounding the hotel, so it is not the best location for longer stays if you plan to visit the city. Internet is paid as it is the case in several hotels in Germany, but the connection is quite good throughout the hotel.

Quoi de plus pratique que cet hôtel directement à la sortie de la gare ? L'accueil est très aimable, le logement propre mais sommaire. Petit déjeuner très varié.

Leider hat sich die Qualität verschlechtert.

Toilette abgebrochen, im Ersatzzimmer roch das Badezimmer nach Frittierfett (?)... Beim Frühstück konnten wir selbst miterleben, daß ein Gast angeschnauzt wurde, weil er darum gebeten hatte, de Frühstückstisch abzuputzen (?).
