Though the room was a bit small, everything other than that was really good. The bathroom was clean and had enough space, the staff at the front desk was kind, the access to the marktplats was easy on foot and reasonable price to stay. Thank you very much.

Der Herr am Empfang war neutral. Net sehr freundlich aber hat zumindest Hallo & Tschüss gesagt, jedoch auch nicht gefragt ob es einem gefallen hat. Das Zimmer war net sehr sauber (Haare auf dem Teppich, Spiegel, Türe & Klinge beschmiert, Bad wird grad in den Ecken net gut gereinigt, der Flur war aber schön sauber). Das Zimmer zur Straßenseite war schon sehr lau. Es gab eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, das war sehr schön.

Angenehmes Designer-Hotel mit gutem Service

Nach einem sehr freundlichen Check-In wurde ich vom Interieur des Hotels überrascht. Es ist etwas Besonderes, ein mit vielen Kleinigkeiten wie Lichteffekten, Düften und interessanten Wandtexturen aufgewertetes, kleines Hotel. Parkmöglichkeit in der Tiefgarage und angemessenes Frühstück, beides zum kleinen Preis, runden das Bild ab. Die Lage ist hervorragend für den, der die City sucht - fußläufig 5 Minuten. Die Klimaanlage ist sehr leise, funktional und effektiv. Alles in Allem ein prima Aufenthalt in Karlsruhe.

Leider ging das Licht (Nachttisch) nicht und man musste jedesmal das grosse Licht anmachen, um aufs WC zu gehen. Der Fahrstuhl war auch nicht optimal nutzbar. Wenn die aüssere Türe nicht ganz geschlossen wurde blieb einem nichts anderes übrig als zu Fuss in den 4.Stock zu laufen.
