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.

Kleines, einfaches Hotel, aber sauber und für eine geschäftliche Reise ausreichend.
Pros:

Kleines Zimmer, aber durchaus sauber. Großes Plus war das elektrische Außenrollo. Frühstück einfach aber ausreichend.

Bien
Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel proche de l'autoroute. L’hôtel dans son ensemble. Amabilité du personnel de la réception. Chambre confortable, bonne literie, située au calme. Petit-déjeuner simple mais suffisant. Parking de l’hôtel situé juste à côté et prix raisonnable.

Cons:

Rues très sombres dès la nuit tombée. Personnes sans abri proche de l’hôtel.
