Pros:

Inneneinrichtung komplett renoviert, neuwertig. Check-in problemlos. Austattung vom Stil modern aufgeräumt, modernes Bad, sehr sauber. Nettes Lokal Wolfbräu fußläufig, zentral in Karlsruhe gelegen, gute Anbindung.

Cons:

Fairerweise sollte man erwähnen, dass sich das Hotel in einem eher alternativen Viertel befindet, mit entsprechendem Klientel. Ist natürlich Geschmackssache, aber allein reisende Frauen mögen es abends/nachts ggf als etwas unheimlich empfinden.

Pros:

Zimmer war ok, alles da was man braucht und sauber. Lage war auch o.k! Leider konnte man nicht abschließen

Cons:

Ich habe in meinen zwei Tagen nicht eine andere Person dort gesehen. Keinen an der Rezeption und keinen anderen Gast, es wirkte alles verlassen und ein wenig unheimlich

Kann ich mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen und würde selber immer wieder kommen
Pros:

Die Lage war ruhig, dennoch sehr zentral. Das Frühstück hatte alles was es braucht. Sehr guter Kaffee, Brötchen/Brot…, Rührei/Bacon/gekochte Eier, Müsli, Aufschnitt, frisches Obst und vieles mehr. Also für jeden was dabei ☺️.
Zudem sehr nettes hilfsbereites Personal.
