Hotel Royal

Extremely small room, cleanliness barely ok, interior design looks as if they were renting their rooms by the hour. The hallway and staircase smell as if they had lit dozens of scented candles in the, the room itself and the inside of the elevator smelled a different kind of funny). The mattress was far too soft for a good night's sleep They advertise a restaurant on their web page and in the infotainment section displayed on their TV, but there IS no restaurant (I explicitly asked the receptionist and she confirmed). There is an access code for Wifi (which you will not be given unless you explicitly ask), but it doesn't work. The reception in only staffed between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m. Outside of those hours you cannot even get anybody on the phone if you have a problem. The prices are steep nonetheless (I paid 129 € a night without breakfast, breakfast is 15 € on top, parking another 15€ on top). I did not check the alleged gym, but since I will never visit that hotel again, I cannot check if the gym actually exists. Such a high price for such poor quality, poor service and even a deceitful description is an outrage. Never again!

I stayed at the Hotel Royal for one week while I attended a conference. The concierge called me to know my arrival time, as the reception is usually closed in the afternoon. Don't be scared by the grid fence which protects the reception - the staff is a professional team. The check-in is supported via an automat who accepts normal credit cards. Breakfast is always extra (18€) and served until 09:30 only. The single room is a bit narrow, especially if you have bigger luggage. The edge of the bed meets the edge of the desk so some climbing needs to be done. Bathroom meets expectations. In summer the terrace will be opened also, which provides the opportunity of having a drink in quiet courtyard. Karlsruhe castle is not far away, and there is also tram station just around the corner. All in all, a good hotel for a business trip.

I stayed a week there recently. The service was terrific, the staff very hospitable. The room was laid out well and very clean and modern. The hotel is a short walk to the tram as well as to many good places to eat. My room upstairs was very quiet. The breakfast was tasty - a nice assor**ent of options along with an attentive staff. It's a small hotel so not as full service as some places, but it's a great value in a nice city. Wifi was great in the room.

ich kam spät an, konnte problemlos über den Automaten einchecken. Das Haus ist ruhig und gut erreichbar, leider kein Frühstück, ich habe bereits für April wieder gebucht. wirklich zu empfehlen

Leider gab es kein Frühstück

so ein Hotel habe ich selten erlebt. Es fängt damit an, dass die Rezeption vergittert ist wie eine Wechselstube im Irak, das bleibt auch Tag & Nacht so. Ansprechpartner, Conchierge: Fehlanzeige. Kühles Dekor was hochtrabend als Design hochgejazzt wird, schlauchartige Zimer, wo man den Nachbar duschen hört als wäre es neben dem eigenen Bett. Kühlschrank: auf Zimmertemperatur, keine Kühlung. Dusche? "Design", d.h. nichts wo man die Dusche hinhängen könnte um sich drunter zu stellen. Waschbecken: kein Stöpsel, so dass an, etwa beim Rasieren, das Wasser laufen lassen muss. Angebrochene Seifentuben finden sich auch am nächstrn Nachmittag ohne Ersatz an gleicher Stelle. Internet mitunter fragil. Das einzig Akzeptable ist die zentrale Lage, aber die rechtfertigt absolut KEINE €140 pro Nacht ohne Frühstück (18 €). Fazit: teuer, unzulänglich, unpersönlich & kalt, vllt ein hide-out für Verbrecher auf der Flucht.

Es war gut
