Great location in the super-charming center of Ettlingen, was there 3 times. 1x in the main house, 2x in the annex building. That was the last time. First of all: please look at my profile, I don't tend to give bad reviews and I travel quite a lot - in Germany and worldwide. OK - Conclusion: Condescending, super arrogant check in on June 13th. around 6:30 p.m. No go. Mega tight parking garage, but you can live with that. Rip-off in the next building! The management will answer (or not) that I chose the cheapest room and that they are making "improvements". But: the room is worth 70 EUR, not 112 paid ;-) The rooms there are "youth hostel standard", "seniors' home" also fits. I don't know why I did this to myself for the second time. My mistake, clearly, I didn't see any reference to "outbuilding" on the homepage or I overlooked it. Industrial carpet and 80s design, no refrigerator, shower in the bathtub (oh dear), no body lotion etc., shaving mirror not available; The house and the corridors are very uncharming, the elevator is a disaster (hospital-like), no feel-good factor for at least 112 EUR per night for a single room without breakfast. That's just too expensive. In addition, there is still (June 2023) a Covid mask notice in the breakfast room: “You are welcome to wear a mask”. I brought this up at reception because I have my opinion on this matter. Answer: we “have to” do that. Which is actually not true. The receptionists then argued around instead of saying that it was their property right. That would have been the end of it for me, instead I would have been bossy and fussed over. Very bad briefing. Apparently the management of this hotel is extremely Covid-savvy, even during the time of the government-mandated Covid measures I wasn't even allowed to get a café here while wearing a mask - as the only guest in the empty breakfast room. Ridiculously German. I definitely won't be coming back and recommend to anyone who is still interested to make sure they don't have to go to the terrible annex - for this price.
