Hotels near Parish Church of St. Martin, Karlsruhe

The hotel is in the city, yet at the same time relatively fast to drive up to from the highway on our way to north Italy. The hotel has its own garage for which you can reserve a spot (reserve, then go into the reception to ask which spot has been allocated to you), which makes it ideal when traveling. Note however that it is not big or spacious, so when parking with a big car, you need balls of steel. We stayed here on our way to and coming back. On our way to, we were surprised with an upgrade to the penthouse apartment, which is amazing! It's at the end of the corridor, with a small private terrace, and nice view over the city. It's decorated in an Asian style, with a lovely round couch to hang on, a big bathroom with a large rain shower, plenty of cupboard space, and coffee corner. The bed was huge and had a handy cushioned bench at its foot end, which we used to put our suitcase on . It was a shame we were only stayed one night and that it was pouring down, otherwise we would have sat outside and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Having said that, we enjoyed hanging in the room after dinner. We noticed that next to the penthouse, there is also a terrace and room for meetings (sign me up for those!), which companies I guess can rent. On the way back, we had a regular room on the first floor, which is still sizeable and as comfortable as we have gotten accustomed from the hotel. One of the other reasons we stay here on our way to Italy and back, is the breakfast. In fact, my husband talks about it while we're driving. Because it is so elaborate and welcoming, it just gives you the holiday feeling. You can make pots of tea with really nice tea, you can also order proper coffee (espresso machine) with oatmilk (Hafermilch), they have a wide range of warm breakfast food (scrambled or boiled eggs, bacon, sausages, and my favourite: pancakes), as well as a wide array of cheeses, meats, smoked salmon, and a home-made chia diary glass. The only thing I'm missing is brezels (though they do have little buns made of the same type of dough. And a nice touch: on the mirror at the end of the breakfast room, they list the team for breakfast, which I feel is such a nice, personal touch. The hotel bar is quite a hot spot, we have noticed. Unfortunately we always have to drive the next day so never make it there, however, because of the hotel, we are considering a longer stay in Karlsruhe on one of our trips.

The hotel opened the day before, so there is still a building atmosphere in one or two corners, especially outside. Location in an unattractive mixed-use commercial area, easy to reach by car, the nearest tram is about 300m away. The rooms and the hotel are modern and chic, we also liked the way the breakfast was presented and the selection. The Hipster Studio we booked has a small kitchenette with a fridge, and Bluetooth speakers for the smartphone are also useful. However, the Hipster Studio is definitely not the 32 sqm listed! Mostly friendly staff. In summary, we liked it, and it is currently good value for money.

The location is very good, because not in the city but also not too far from the city. The cinema is also not far. Breakfast is sufficient and for everyone there. Rooms are beautiful and well equipped, but unfortunately there is no closet where you can eventually stack the bag. But is actually no problem, there is a clothes or something like clothes. The bathroom offers a furnace, hygiene bag, towels and shampoo with shower gel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are enough parking facilities next to the hotel and nearby.

Wir waren enttäuscht: Im Februar 2022 nur Zimmerfrühstück ”wg. Corona”, welches man am Vorabend bestellen und die Lieferzeit angeben musste. Standard-Zimmer einschl. Bad sehr klein, Zimmertür zum Vorflur ließ sich nicht schließen (Bett im Weg), einfache Ausstattung. Wir wussten überhaupt nicht, wie und wo wir unser Frühstück einnehmen sollten. Die vier Sterne haben wir nicht gefunden. Dafür sind rd. 133 Euro + 15 Euro Tiefgarage pro Nacht zu viel. Positiv hervorzuheben ist die Lage mitten im Zentrum, das überaus freundliche und hilfsbereite Personal, die hauseigene Tiefgarage, in die man auch mit einem großen Auto kommt (allerdings muss man für Ein- und Ausfahrt sich jeweils eine Karte an der Rezeption holen und anschließend gleich wieder abgeben), freie Minibar (4 Flaschen).

zunächst einmal müssen wir uns für das upgrade (suite auf der 10. etage) bedanken, ist ja schließlich nicht selbstverständlich! das kann unser urteil aber nicht beeinflussen. das hotel hätte sicherlich mehr möglichkeiten, wahrscheinlich fehlt es an den finanziellen verfügbarkeiten!? anders, als wir das von anderen leonardo-häusern kennen, ist dieses hier (ganz) erheblich in die jahre gekommen; der renovierungs- und instandsetzungsstau schaut überall um die ecke! das zimmer war nicht zu beanstanden, bett ok, bad ok, internet ok. frühstück war auch in ordnung. parken schwierig: entweder im freien (mit dem damit verbundenen risiko) auf verbotenen plätzen möglich; ansonsten in dem benachbarten (nicht mit dem hotel verbundenen) parkhaus gegen gebühr! für eine übernachtung auf der durchreise und/oder zum besuch einer veranstaltung im benachbarten konzerthaus/kongresstentrum ok, mehr aber - leider - auch nicht.

Reception, reception and restaurant looks pretty! Price of the room was also fine. But the room was dirt. Hair on bed and sanitary was not well cleaned. We received a new room offered, but that had the same problem. The next room too, but we just accepted it because it was late. The reason for three stars is for the lady that helped us and it also found it super annoying. That very friendly and guest-oriented lady! Only the hotel must have arranged the base of a hotel!

Nice big apartment, soft comfortable bed, nice bathroom, good location, everything is clean. Breakfast is great with more choice. Reception and restaurant staff friendly, especially the staff of the restaurant, girl originating from Croatia is very friendly and helpful.

Hotel della catena B&B Hotels che ben conosciamo grazie alle esperienze positive avute in Francia, Italia e Germania, comodamente situato a breve distanza dall’ingresso sud della stazione centrale di Karlsruhe. Prenotato tramite il sito internet di B&B al costo di 78€ per una notte, due persone, colazione esclusa, posso dire che si è trattato di un ottimo soggiorno. Probabilmente il prezzo è stato un po’ oltre alla media ma, la presenza dell’ampio parcheggio gratuito in garage, collegato direttamente alla struttura tramite ascensore, è stato perfetto e ci ha permesso di girare la città anche il mattino successivo, solo questo vale un voto massimo. La camera è la classica di questo tipo di albergo (qui era presente anche un terzo letto) con bagno (dotato anche di phon) Wi-Fi, aria condizionata e, dietro al letto, una riproduzione della particolare mappa cittadina a ventaglio. Come in tutti gli alberghi della catena però, la mancanza un piccolo frigorifero è la cosa che più si fa sentire e, almeno per mio modo di vedere la stanza, aggiungerlo cambierebbe molto. In ogni caso, il gentile personale dell’albergo si è mostrato disponibile a mettere in fresco dei ghiaccioli, utili per trasportare qualcosa nella nostra borsa frigo. Grazie alla vicinanza alla stazione, basta percorrere il lungo passaggio che dall’ingresso sud porta all’ingresso principale per trovare diversi tram comodissimi per il centro città oltre a treni diretti nelle vicinanze o anche oltre e, ancora più in periodo di 9-Euro Ticket, questo è stato veramente perfetto. Un ottimo albergo, comodo, silenzioso, ben gestito, sicuramente sarebbe la prima scelta per un nuovo soggiorno a Karlsruhe.

Sometimes I ask myself: why happens this to me? I am booking an Ibis Styles hotel but getting the comfort of a five star one? What is wrong with these booking categories? Let me be clear and precise. Despite of the fact that the design will not win an award (carpet, interior in the rooms, the colors), this hotel convinced me in terms of cozy beds, cleanness, silence, sound-insulation and breakfast. As said: design – well – there are always two guilty guys: the one who designed and the other one who bought it. Nevertheless, I want to sleep and have a good breakfast and both was fulfilled on a high standard. Beds were cozy and comfortable, the room spacious, the bathroom separated between toilet and shower (which is not a bad choice). A well working rain shower system was just another example for even more luxury hotels which do not cover that. The breakfast in the morning: marvelous! The staff to be mentioned first: friendly, helpful and very attentive to keep the breakfast area and buffet clean. A well working coffee machine and on top: a self-brewing coffee service was also available – fancy. The quality and quantity of the buffet compared to its price: outstanding. I ate worse for more money at higher qualified hotels! It is ridiculous! This hotel deserves an excellent review and my personal marketing. Well done! We strongly recommend this place for sure!
