ibis Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof Hotel 2 stars

Good. Good location. Room was fine.

Had difficulties sleeping because of the noise from the railway station or street. I might go for another location next time I am in Karlsruhe for business, because I need a full night's sleep...

Good location next Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof Rooms cozy for a weekend

Must start with the bed. WOW. We had low expectations for a budget hotel and past experiences. The Ibis was just close to the train station. However, we discovered the "Sweet Bed". This is the world's most comfortable bed, both for my back-sleeper husband, who had plenty of support, and my side-sleeper self, who had plenty of cushioning for the curves. WOW. The Mercure we stayed in after your hotel required an extra duvet and two mattress toppers and still wasn't as comfortable as the Sweet Bed. Perhaps Accor will soon start using the Sweet Bed throughout their hotels. It would be a vast improvement. I love that it has the foam all the way to the edge of the bed. No hard rail to cut into the back of the legs. And the linens were so soft, yet crisp and clean. The designer even put a strip of color at the bottom to help housekeepers find the opening. Smart. I hope the company will mark Sweet Bed hotels on the website, because I will be looking for them. The staff was very helpful. We ordered some food from the bar. I have allergies and the staff was very careful to make sure my food was allergen-free and delicious. They also were professional, yet friendly, and their language skills were so helpful to tired guests. Breakfast was good and plentiful. We enjoyed it. The only downside was the front entrance. The ramp may be fine for deliveries with a hand truck, but it doesn't work for a wheel chair or someone using a cane. The hotel needs a real ramp for those with low mobility. Thanks for asking. All told our stay was a positive experience. Thank y. for your hospitality.

We were courious to see, how the former post administration building was converted and therefore stayed for one night. Really enjoyed it, however missed a 3rd floor to have a better view on the train tracks. :-). We had a good sleep - comfy bed and quiet room. Very nice breakfast buffet.

Staff was friendly and professional. Location was good for us. Breakfast and bar were good. Room was appointed nicely but too warm and the outside air was closed off by an atrium.

Liked the room. Had everything I needed. No frills. Great location near the station, and very good breakfast. Highly recommended.

Grest hotel in prime spot, with the most comfortable beds. 3 times we have stayed here and everytime we've had room 219 with good views of the city. Also were happy accommodate our dog. Highly recommend this hotel and all Ibis hotels we have stayed in.

Nothing special

Good location few minutes walk from the train station, easy access to downtown, zoo was the opposite side of the train station. Friendly staff. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. It seemed no air conditioning when we stayed and had to open the window. It's ok we just stayed one night . Wifi is ok. Across the street there was a really good Indian restaurant .

I had a late arrival, so I wrote to the hotel if that’s ok and they answered quick enough, what I find extremely nice. The hotel is located near the main railway station of the city, there is tourist information not far away from it, very beautiful city park with zoo, tram station right in front of the hotel or you can take a calm walk, about 25 minutes to the Marktplatz. Both receptionists (at night and in the morning) were friendly and polite. The room was spacious enough, cozy and very clean and I fell in love with the bathroom. Doors and walls are thick, so I didn’t hear sounds from the corridor. My window was facing the part of the railway station, for me it was no problem, and if you close the window then you hear almost no sound of the trains. Breakfast was good and had good choice even for vegetarians: fruits and fruit salad, bread and different kinds of jams etc. However, for these money it was quite odd to realize that I had to get myself cutlery, although I find the idea with a tray like in canteens not that bad, and that there is only a coffee machine, at least nobody offered me freshly brewed coffee in a coffee pot like it was in other hotels in the region. For longer stay it‘d be good to have more ceiling lighting. Please check the door to the bathroom in the room number 252! It creaks a lot and I was worried all the time that I will disturb people from another room.

We enjoyed our stay and were surprised how comfy and spacious the room was with everything you need. Love having the desk and sitting space and plenty of storage. Lovely staff.

Perfect

Bed was comfy, however there was no fridge in room. I couldn't coll my beer and save my yoghurts. Also there was only 2 power sockets in double room and they were waaaaay in the corner. There should be 'at least' 2 power sockets close to the bed. I needed to sit on a uncomfortable chair just to use my phone. Breakfast was moderate. Only thing that surprises me was pancake. Other than that, options were really limited (for example there was no paprika)!
