Pros:

Nel complesso era ok, ci sarei ritornata volentieri se non fosse per l’odore della stanza

Cons:

La mia camera aveva un odore a mio gusto sgradevole, un misto tra fumo e dopobarba, ho dormito con la finestra aperta.

Super Lage, sauber, nett.
Pros:

Sehr nettes, einfaches Hotel mit moderner Austattung, sauber und sehr unkompliziert. Netter Herr an der Rezeption.

Cons:

Es sind eher Vorschläge: eine Abdunkelungsmöglichkeit am Fenster wäre super. Ich war so kaputt, dass ich trotz sonniger Morgen tief schlafen konnte.
Und vielleicht für frische Pärchen eine Vorwarnung: die Toilette hat keine Tür…

Sehr freundliches Personal
Pros:

sehr freundliches Personal. Konnte Spätankunft wegen Zugverspätung einfach regeln.

Auch Frühstück kurz nach offiziellem Ende der Frühstückszeit war kein Problem.

Schöne Lage in der Südstadt mit Kneipen und Kino "Schauburg"

Cons:

frühes Ende der Frühstückszeit um 9 Uhr (meist ist es 10 Uhr)

Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist Zentral und sehr gepflegt.

Good but expensive
Pros:

The hotel is nice and located not far from the center of Karlsruhe. The room was clean. Ideal for a short stay.

Cons:

The cost of one night in February was in my opinion too expensive without breakfast and in general any service. One should also realize that Karlsruhe is a small city without many things to offer so the prices should be in general lower.
The hotel require to pay the city tax before or the day of arrival in order to access the room. This is a limitation especially if the arrival is late evening and nobody is at the reception. Strange that the payment cannot be done the day after.
