I spent two nights in this hotel for a business trip. The location is good, since it is close to a tram station and within walking distance from the city centre. However, it was not easy to locate since it is not clearly marked and the reception is in a different area than the actual rooms. To access the rooms,... More

Please avoid this hotel, it is absolutely awful - please do avoid it, don't do like me and think "It cannot be that bad?!?".

Once you check in with reception, however, you then have to go back outside and next door to access the hotel rooms, which are... More

The worst experience ever! On Oct 25th, 2008 around 1pm I came to the reception of the Hotel am Karlstor in Karlsruhe, Germany. I got an explanation that the hotel had some problems and they booked a room in another hotel. Then, the receptionist gave me a printed Google map with the directions how to get to the hotel Handelshof.... More
