Hotels near The watch tower, Weingarten

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.

Nice hotel, good environment and convenient transportation. Next to the train station and the zoo. Walk to the Royal Palace and Constitution Square. The layout of the palace is similar to the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, and the scenery is not too good. The Constitution Square is very distinctive. Booked a single room, only a 1 meter small bed, enough for business trips, facilities are traditional German hotels, sparrows are small and complete. The hotel is very historic and a traditional elevator is featured. The hotel is large, the room is quite a lot, the breakfast seems to be simpler, the place to eat breakfast is also very small, I don't know if the guest is not open. Only a group of business Koreans are eating, the cups are messy, and no one is sorting out in time. The restaurant only sees a waiter.

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.

Located between Karlsruhe and Ettlingen, the hotel is not easily accessible by public transport and is suitable for renting a car. Next to the expressway, there is a little noise, but the sound insulation of the hotel is good. A wide variety of breakfasts, worthy of praise👍

Hotel is closely located to the Messe Karlsruhe and easily accessible by public transportation. The look and feel of the hotel is modern in overall and is nicely done (floral-themed), the rooms clean and nicely furnished. Overall nice stay. However, two things we weren’t pleased about and also heard other people complain about: This hotel is not accepting any cash but cards only. For guests from abroad, even small bills needed to be paid with card and commission usually apply for each transaction. Totally get the thinking of the cards-only policy but it definitely is not guests-friendly at all. The other thing is that we forgot to bring our travel adapter. Not the first time but in all previous hotel, we have also been able to borrow one from the reception. From a hotel which is located closest to a venue like the Messe Karlsruhe and with almost 160 rooms, we would’ve expected that they are prepared with a few travel adapter. Fact is: they have not a single one. As said: overall nice stay and we would probably book again, if we’re going to visit the Messe Karlsruhe but otherwise, we would definitely look for another hotel.

The hotel is located in the western part of the city, directly on the B10, a main access road coming from the A8. It is only about 1 km to the motorway itself (Pforzheim West exit). The building is 6 stories high and has about 200 rooms. In my opinion, the hotel was built in 2005/2006. Everything is in perfect condition. The clientele during our short stay was mainly male, with the guests primarily from the trade, craft and business sectors. We were at the Arcusklinik in Pforzheim for a preliminary examination. The hotel has a special rate for patients at this clinic. We paid €95.50 for our double room on the 4th floor, including breakfast and parking; you can't complain about that. WiFi was included. There is a bus stop very close by. The bus goes from here directly to the main station or the city center (distance about 4.0 km). Stuttgart Airport is about 50 km away; it is about 30 km to Karlsruhe. The first telephone contact when making the reservation was very positive. The subsequent greeting in the hotel itself was also OK; unfortunately, there was a mistake with our booking. Our reservation was for a day later. Contrary to all custom, I foolishly did not receive a reservation confirmation by email. The error would have been noticed early on. But the nice gentleman at the reception (Mr. Rödel?) tried to correct this mishap, which he succeeded in doing. All other questions were answered exhaustively, so that nothing stood in the way of a pleasant stay. All in all, we were very satisfied. The rest of the staff (breakfast room) were also very friendly and helpful. As a guest, you feel comfortable. One negative point must be noted, however. The rooms are no longer obligatory to be cleaned daily. This is only possible on express request. A corresponding written notice is available; however, it would be desirable if you were informed of this verbally when checking in. The argument for this change in cleaning is environmental protection / CO2 footprint. But I couldn't shake the thought that this was primarily to save on staff. The hotel itself does not have its own restaurant. However, you can eat very well in the Pizzeria Allegro, which is right next to the hotel. The hotel's breakfast room is on the 6th floor. The breakfast was very good and contained everything you would expect from a hotel of this category (coffee, tea, juices, sausage, cheese, jam, eggs, sausages, various types of bread and rolls, etc.). Care was taken to replenish the food on time and to clear the tables promptly. In any case, we were very satisfied. Our double room (with air conditioning) was about 22 square meters and had a separate desk, satellite TV and a small refrigerator that can also be used as a minibar. There is no room safe.
