Everything was adequate for a stay near the train station. There was an issue with their computers that didn't allow them to program the room key, so the front desk would have to run up and open our door each time, which he did quite quickly. Room was a decent size and the air conditioning worked which was great for the hot day that we stayed there. Super close to the train station (5 minutes walk), we were able to catch our train easily.

This is a very basic property with small rooms. However, that is all we needed for this part of our travels. It was clean, the staff were really good, and it was a great option for an economical stay when you're not spending a lot of time in the room. We really liked that it was a short walk to the train station.

It was very cheap and had a good breakfast
It is close to the hbf so handy for trains
The only negative was that the air conditioning in my room was not very effective
On a day when 29?was the top temperature it was still 27 in the room at 20 pm despite having temp turned down to 5 degrees and fan on max since mid afternoon
Hotel is fine if weather is not hot
I would not book if expecting hot weather
Maybe other rooms are cooler but mine on second floor was too hot

Quite stopover in Karlsruhe

This was just a quick stopover to break a journey. Just a very standard Ibis with really no character to speak of. It’s very conveniently located close to the railway station, and an easy walk from the city centre. The breakfast was not included (unusual for an Ibis I think). Room was quite spacious enough for overnight, the internet worked, it was clean and fairly quiet. Probably not somewhere you’d want to spend a week’s holiday but for the odd night a bit of bland is ok.

everything was lovely except parking in the hotel, there's only 8 free parking spots, one night there was no place to park so we parked in the back where is plenty of \"free\" parking spots, in the morning they told us that we need to pay 8€ for parking, it's not much but still..Also housekeeping knocking at our doors at 9:30 am, and again around 10:15 am, and when she saw us in the room she was annoyed and rolled her eyes which is not really professional, other then that all good

The hotel is located close to the main station. The location was one of the main reasons I chose it, and it turned out to be a good choice.
The windows provide good sound insulation, the bed was comfortable and I had a good nights sleep. In case you cannot sleep, there is a big flat screen TV that can be turned towards the bed with many channels to chose from. I was travelling alone and was surprised to find a double and a single bed to chose from in my room, but I guess better too many beds than no bed. Despite the extra bed, the room did not feel cramped.
Staff at reception was friendly and helpful. To avoid confusion, the main station is not in the city centre, so if you are looking for a hotel in the city centre, keep looking. If you want easy access to high speed trains, local trams or even the zoo, you've found the right hotel.

Staff Friendly - But Hotel Organization Poor!

Be Warned - Although the staff were very friendly and the hotel is in an excellent location - We stayed for 4 nights yet our bed never got changed once - we were total it was \"hotel policy\"!!! Also, the internet in the room is around €10 per night BUT (although its free in the reception) it took more than 30 minutes to (finally) log on - and then was unbelievably slow,,,
We asked the staff - who were very helpful and rang the internet provider - yet there wasn't any improvement & we were told this happens all the time and everyone complains - nothing happens - so here is yet another complain! So we will see if there is any improvement in future...
Also bear in mind, being only 2 1/2 star - NO BATHS!

IBIS Karlsruhe - reasonably priced, good location

The hotel used to be a building of the Postal Services and converted to a hotel recently. Job well done! A short walk to the main station and a major tram station, so getting around is very easy. A walk to the downtown area takes about 20 min. The rooms are quite small, but very clean and the mattress is very comfortable. WIFI in the lounge area is free, hefty price for WIFI in the room. Breakfast was great, especially the choice of coffee specialties is outstanding. Parking spots are pretty narrow. Even hanging the towels on the rack did not prevent the cleanings staff from replacing them every day, so I could not save a tree ;-)

Ibis Hotel, Downtown Karlsruhe

I had been told in advance that this was a budget hotel by a friend. Although, the room and bathroom were small, it was far from a budget hotel. I was greeted at the front desk with friendliness and good service. We ate breakfast there one morning and it was excellent. The location was excellent. As planned, we wanted to be right down town. I will be visiting Karlsruhe again and will definitely stay there. Great value!

We know Ibis hotel and as often as possible we use it if we travel around for family vacation and sometime even business. We chose that hotel because we were searching for something in the middle of our road from Ljubljana to Paris. It was just one night stop so we didn't complicate too much when booking it. But we've been fully satisfied realizing that we can have nice walk to the city center and that hotel was pretty new and nicely decorated.
The only thing we were missing is some nice environment during our breakfast. Dining place is too \"cold\" ... no plants, no curtains .... and there was even no music. Quite and the only thing we could hear was the conversation of other guests seating in the same place.
