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

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.

Checking in was a problem because the automat did not issue my bill. Since I had not noted the room number, I had to phone. The immediate service was good. I was issued a new room number and key but it took 3 contact attempts before my invoice was emailed 2 weeks later. Room pleasant, with kettle. Covid test kit in room.

Convenient location for Supreme Court. Rooms pleasant and reasonable size. Brekfast was slightly problematic. I went up just before 8 and the juice dispenser was almost empty. I managed to scrape together the last portion of scrambled eggs. Although one could hear the staff talking in the back room, it was 20 minutes (I noted the time on my watch) before anyone came to replenish the container, so that the half dozen people who came after me had a limited choice.

Decent Stay

Though it was as clear certain aspects had been redone (and redone well), it seemed like the job didn’t get completely finished. It was also complicated to find the parking spots and to access the rooms from the garage and outdoors. The entrance we were told to go in was not clearly marked. Otherwise it was a nice stay.
