"Excellent stay, friendly owners and top notch location next to the river. Free on site parking (about 5 or 6 spaces). Also ate at the restaurant, which was also very good."
"Very polite and friendly staff, clean rooms and a conveniant parking below. Ec=xcellent location; within 2 minutes, on foot, you are in the historic city center."
"Our host was not able to accommodate all of our small group, so my husband and I took their suggestion of ibis Styles downtown. It was a 7-minute walk from the hotel to our host's house. And convenient to the 'village' of shops near by.
The hotel was modest and clean, the room was efficiently laid out, the breakfast buffet had something for everyone.
I now know that ibis has locations in other parts of Germany and I would not hesitate to stay at an ibis hotel in the future."
"A lovely hotel in the forest. Large rooms for the price, very well cooked food in restaurant. Good breakfasting also. Scrambled eggs are good considering its a ban-marie. Coffe is good. Altogether a very pleasant stay and good for health freaks (I suppose but I am not one of them) clean gym, okay indoor pool and a sauna, which needs to pump up the heat to a hotter temp, but okay if you have time to sit in it and wait for your body to heat up.
Nice staff."

PLAZA Premium Karlsruhe
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel, breakfast has plenty of choices and offers something for everyone. The room are nice and the bed comfortable. I had only 2 issues, the aircon did not work in our room, luckily was not hot, and the check-in stops at 10:30. I was coming from a long drive and I was stunned by it. Got lucky the guy at the desk was running late and helped me out but the entrance barrier did not open and you kinda stuck on the outside car park if you cannot go across the grass with the car. Overall a good stay and i will stop again."

10/10 Excellent
"Tucked away in a delightfully convenient location—close enough to the pulse of the city, yet far enough to feel like a true retreat—this hotel is a shining example of what modern hospitality should feel like. From the moment I stepped through its doors, I was met with warmth, grace, and professionalism that elevated my stay beyond mere comfort.
The staff here are nothing short of extraordinary. Genuinely friendly and impeccably trained, they strike the rare balance between attentiveness and discretion. Every request was met with a smile, and their seamless coordination behind the scenes ensured my experience felt effortless from check-in to checkout.
Cleanliness is clearly a cornerstone of this hotel’s philosophy. My room was spotless, fresh, and thoughtfully arranged—like a haven waiting to be discovered after a long day. Crisp linens, gleaming surfaces, and a soft, calming scent set the tone for restorative rest.
Each meal was a culinary delight. Breakfast in particular deserves special mention—not just for the variety of fresh and delicious offerings, but for the absolutely stellar service from Gabrielle. Despite the breakfast room being bustling with guests, Gabrielle remained a pillar of poise and professionalism. Always smiling, never flustered, she ensured every guest felt attended to with care and genuine warmth. Her dedication made mornings something to look forward to.
