The staff were very competent and friendly. The pool and spa facilities were superb. The breakfast was extremely varied and well stocked with hot food where applicable. The bed was comfortable and the shower had a good amount of pressure and was easy to adjust temperature.

Luxury pure. This hotel is very clean and everyone so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The pool and spa area was wonderful. You can relax and enjoy yourself. It’s close to the city and the tram. I can only recommend this hotel.

Very nice old place. The food was excellent with a good breakfast buffet. The staff was professional and helpful. Parking is available but we came by train. The stop is about 100 meters from the hotel. The restaurant food is expensive but worth it.

Like: SPA is amazing, big-ish pool with integrated jacuzzi, lots of beds, bar, free fruits, water and tea; nice saunas, clean 10/10, towels, chairs, beds. Massages are mediocre, don't expect anything wow. Restaurant is amazing, food is 8/10, service is impeccable, expect high end prices. Breakfast is probably one of the best in DE, cant complain, maybe add more vegetables and some more lactose free stuff, the made on spot omelettes are almost perfect. Bar is nice, smoking area, cigars shop, nice cocktails, expect high end prices here as well. DON’T like: Rooms??? All of them… except maybe the high end ones - the suit style which are spacious, clean of course, big bathrooms. Tbh big and clean bathrooms have even smallest rooms. Pillows are terrible, just change them for Christ sake, they feel like a piece of cloth with nothing inside, feels like having nothing under your head. Mattress are almost as terrible but are manageable for 1-2 nights. Beds well depends on the room, the single business whatever rooms feels like you are staying in a hostel, student dorm rooms, smallest bed ever.

If you want to eat dinner at the hotel you have to make reservations way ahead of time. Being a hotel guest doesn't necessarily give you access to the restaurant, had to go elsewhere each night. Staff is not friendly

This is my go-to hotel when I am in Karlsruhe for business. The location works well, the restaurant is good, and the cigar bar is a nice touch. The staff is generally friendly and professional. The spa area is one of the highlights: spacious, clean, with a nice bar, a solid pool, and especially excellent saunas. That part of the hotel feels well maintained and thoughtfully designed. However, the rooms are a completely different story. Some of the single rooms feel extremely outdated, almost like a small guesthouse from decades ago. The design, furniture, and overall atmosphere do not match the standard suggested by the common areas. Even the suites, while better, are still clearly dated. It honestly feels like two separate worlds: modern public spaces and spa versus rooms that have not kept up with the same standard. If you book here, pay close attention to the room category. The difference is significant. And if you expect a more modern or premium room, be prepared for rates above €200 per night. Overall, a good business hotel with strong facilities, but the room quality is inconsistent and does not fully align with the rest of the property.

Leider nicht so doll. Auch wenn das Hotel bemüht war, zu kompensieren. Klimaanlage im Zimmer funktionierte nur als Umluft, Fenster zum Innenhof gab den Lärm zum Wärmetauscher, der die ganze Nacht lief.. Auch kann man im Zimmer die Lüftung nicht ausschalten und der Lüfter im Bad läuft auch permanent durch. Da fragt man sich schon, welche Leute sowas planen und installieren, auch dass ein Hotel so ein Zimmer benutzt und verkauft. Ich konnte dann in der Nacht das Zimmer wechseln, aber dann haben leider die Damen vom Service laut palavernd um 8 Uhr mich geweckt…. Schwimmbad ist vorhanden, aber leider schon um 21:30 Uhr geschlossen. Gut, ich kam dann gerade erst an aber bei so einem Wetter, wäre so eine Abkühlung schön gewesen. Hier könnte man flexibler sein.
