I was looking for a hotel close to the train station for a short weekend to rest and get to know a new place. It is just like 200 m from the station, just a short walk easy to do with the bit of luggage, so that objective was fulfilled. The staff at the reception was very welcoming and helpful, and the place itself has the charm of a historic hotel, I especially enjoyed walking down the staircase. The room was, though small, very charming and clean. And I enjoyed that even though the train station is around the corner, public transport just in front of the door, it was very quiet. I actually was woken next morning by the sound of the Zoologische Stadtgarten Karlsruhe (Zoological City Garden), I believe it was the Flamingos. To get to the castle, and the main city center of Karlsruhe one can pick public transport right in front of the train station, or just walk along the Zoological garden and catch a glimpse if the elephants. All in all, if ever coming back, I will pick that hotel again.

3 star at best. Rooms are really dated.
Bed was good, pillows terrible. Staff were friendly, location, right next to train station, so 15/20 mins walk to centre, bur ideal to move on your next leg of a trip. The lift is the best part of the hotel, built1928 - a national treasure, supposedly.

03.08.2025 Jo

Good location near the station. Loved that our room overlooked the zoo and we could see the animals. Our own animal was well treated, good room, comfy bed, breakfast pretty good and welcoming staff on arrival. Thank you!

We payed far over 500 euros, and sadly did not get what you would expect for this price. Our room was outdated and the bathroom had some molt. The walls were not white anymore. The location is great, but it is time for some investment and modernization.

We did not understand why the bar/cafe had no personal.

The breakfast is absolutely not bad, but even that could have some extra attention.

Extremely convenient location when arriving by train. Very helpful staff. Loved the old world atmosphere and especially the 1914 lift! Room large and spacious. No tea or coffee but we never use those anyway.

20.06.2025 Sashwat

The hotel was comfy and classy. What ruined my stay was the rude behavior of the receptionist. Here I give the details so that appropriate action can be taken against here.

Date and time: June 20, 2025 at 7:30 am.

Receptionist: a middle aged woman with black hair

To checkout I proceed to the reception counter, which normally is flanked by thick hanging red bands (indicating that one must not cross them -- it's a no-go zone). You must wait outside of the band, and the receptionist will come to you.

Now on this date and time, the bands did not go all the way across. There was a 20 inch gap which appeared purposeful, as if people are allowed to go past the band and directly reach the receptionist's desk. As I tried to do so, this receptionist came towards me and started to lecture me on how to read the red band sign (red bands mean a no-go zone) in a condescending manner, which is pretty obvious for any reasonably functioning human being. I did point out to her the gap, and retorted that you all should do a better job at designing this sign rather than lecture me.

All this ruined the mood for me completely. If a CCTV camera footage is available to the hotel authorities, I request that appropriate action must be taken against this employee.

All good. Location, clean. The bed could be bigger.

Really loved the location and the overall feel the hotel gives you. It's not just a hotel it has so much to do with the culture & history. You will feel amazing with the elevator experience itself. Staff is very professional, welcoming and interactive. Room was perfect and very clean. Definitely a great stay option to explore the beautiful city. They some really good restaurants and cafes

07.01.2025 Jacqueline

What a wonderful well appointed hotel. Right next to the train station. The location was wonderful. I have never been in a hotel that has SO MUCH granite! WOW!
The breakfast was yummy. Scrambled eggs is always a hit with me. :) And the staff, from the minute I registered to the breakfast staff were all very attentive to my requests.

09.10.2024 Ethan

Classic little hotel that takes itself pretty seriously despite being a little older.
Great spot right across from the train station with shopping and restaurants all withing a couple blocks. (Also a nice little walking/biking path through a zoo/park thing that was quite nice.)
The breakfast was probably the best part with a nice little spread of options to get you going.
The fitness center is an additional 7 euros a day and has hours of 6am to 10pm which isn't great for those of us Americans with jet lag but they didn't seem too strict on the hours.
