The Schlosshotel is nice place to stay in Karlsruhe. It is directly across from the Haubtbahnhof and the main streetcar (tram) intersection. Gave property a 4 because we thought restaurant was pricey and room had no safe or hot water kettle. Front desk staff were very helpful and room was tidy and clean.

Holier-than-thou....

Beautiful building, dating back quite some time - with high sealings and decent size rooms.

Sadly however, the atmosphere is very strait-laced and about as relaxed as a Victorian upper lip.

You could hear a pin drop in the Grossherzog breakfast hall.
Move your chair and get a stern look for cracking the silence.

Your choice...but I'll avoid this one in future.

Great location, helpful staff, stingy amenities.

The location of this hotel is brilliant for Railway Train passengers. Staff very friendly and helpful, was surprisingly quiet at night and the hotel is in excellent condition and beautiful interiors with tall ceilings and large ornate windows. Also and still rare for Europe, an excellent air conditioning system in the guestroom that actually does make it cool. So this hotel will be fine even during the summer months. The restaurant is closed this year due to the pandemic, only breakfast or minibar is currently possible when it comes to guest food. I decided for an upgraded Zoo side room away from the tram traffic, and expected at this level of hotel the room to have a personal safe and a guest kettle for making hot drinks. Neither were included. In fairness, the hotel did provide me hot water units whenever requested. But the lack of certain amenities (extra towel and extra pillow had to be requested), the no personal room safe box issue (other than in the top level suites) remained a major nuisance for an otherwise excellent establishment.

Great place!

I stayed here for 2 nights and loved it. The room was bigger than expected (in Europe), and very modern. The staff was amazing! The front dest staff printed directions to a place that my GPS couldn't find, and when the restaurant was packed for dinner (it happened to be Valentine's day, I was alone and didn't think to book a reservation), the man at the front kept calling until he found me a spot! I didn't even ask him to do that. The breakfast was really good! The eggs were amazing! There was so much to pick from! The options were endless. The parking can be tricky because the hotel only has about 30 or so spots in the front. If it's full, you have to look for street parking. Fortunately, even with a massive art fair in town, I always managed to find a spot there! The shower in my room kept rapidly changing the temperature of the water, which was kind of annoying. The hotel is beautiful except for the hanging lights on the stairwells. They look like they are from 1940s and stand out terribly. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again! I love this hotel.

I was not at all happy staying at Schlosshotel Karlsruhe.

- The gym provided is a disgrace; they are providing 3(!) machines that look like they are from the 1980s, one of them is even out of order.
- Breakfast is about the worse in got in a 4* hotel for a long time.

The room was good- but the air-con was leaking with a constant drip, soaking the carpet. Upon reporting this, the staff member wasn’t interested. Had drinks at the bar, service ok, but then had to find a staff member to pay. Mixed bag overall.

Disappointing end to our stay.

This was our third stay and have always found the hotel generally good. However, at breakfast time this was not the case. There was a business conference in what is usually the breakfast seating area. The buffet was set out at the far end of the dining area and we were eventually shown along a corridor to their restaurant area. This meant there was quite a walk back and forth for the various breakfast courses. This was not helped by the conference attendees standing directly in the buffet area despite having their own area. The whole experience was not relaxed or enjoyable. Plus the coffee machine broke and there was no one in attendance.

Grand old hotel full of history. Loved the old wood elevator box from 1914. Most of the staff was really pleasant to deal with. The location was great , right across from the train station. Only real downside was the floor creaked really bad, felt sorry for those underneath us, we were on top floor the biggest negative was they would turn off your ac at night and you would wake up hot, stuffy and sweating. Even after I asked them not to and they did it anyway the last night. If I ever go back I would stay there again.

We arrived very late and the night team welcome was a bit glum but the rest of the staff delivered super service
Located very close to the station (and the Zoo) and about 15 minutes walk to the town centre
We don’t go to Karlsruhe often. But I would stay again for sure

A little bit of luxury

Schloss Hotel Karlsruhe was a really comfortable and relaxed hotel to stay in with the added perk of our room overlooking the zoo! (watched Coatis get fed every morning!) It has some real grandeur and harks back to 1930 's architecture and opulence, but with all modern needs.
Our room was really comfortable, plenty of space for luggage and a bathroom separated off from the room itself.
The breakfast is quite luxurious sitting in a very grand room all decorated in marble and brass!

Great choice for Karhsruhe

We booked this hotel at the last minute. They were extremely accommodating. It is a lovely, old world hotel with quite comfortable rooms and very good breakfast. They have well-needed air conditioning. The hotel is conveniently located across from the train station. The service was very good, however the front desk did not always have all the information that was needed. For example, I needed to return a car to Europcar but they did not know that there is a spot inside the train station where they take returns, and I drove around for a 1/2 hr. trying to find it. The restaurant is very good with a good selection of vegetarian food.

Værelset var ekstremt lille, 2 voksne og to kufferter, så var der ikke plads til mere. Heldigt der kun bliver gjort rent hver 3. dag, jeg ved ikke hvordan hun skulle få plads til en støvsuger😆 det hele var lidt slidt. Der var ikke sikkerhedsboks på værelset og der var kun en bar, ingen restaurant udover til morgenmad. Aircondition larmede så meget at vi måtte slukke om natten. Jeg forstår ikke at det skulle være et 4-stjernet hotel.

Til gengæld:
Morgenmaden er god og beliggenheden er rigtig god, helt op ad den store park med zoologisk have, tæt på den gamlebydel og slottet. Der ligger en rigtig god restaurant 100 meter fra hotellet. Parkering foran hotellet er god og sikker (19 Euro pr døgn).
Kan anbefales hvis man vil have et hotel med central beliggenhed i Karlsruhe OG man opgraderer til et stort værelse.

. It was terrible, especially considering the high price. Moreover, I stayed on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, yet they only allowed a one-hour late checkout, and I had to pay €25 for each additional hour.
The room was cold and did not have a kettle or a fridge.
The staff was not familiar with the reservation system. When I checked in, even though I had prepaid, she told me that I had not paid and that I needed to pay again. After she asked her colleague, he apologized for the misunderstanding. When I checked out, they did not ask how my stay was; they only seemed focused on getting guests checked out.

I would not recommend anyone to stay there.
