Everything very nice and great atmosphere. Small point: - Breakfast was good, but not great. No scrambled egg or similar. - For 2 nights, I saw a light blue Ferrari parking in the 15-minute loading zone before the hotel, while I paid for parking underground. I felt that was not ok. But no one had the guts to tell the driver?
Motel One keeps improving with each new hotel. The bar and reception area inKarlsruhe is spacious and the decor is imaginative and colourful. Bedroom had a great view over the town and beyond. Sound proof despite busy road outside. One of the best Motel One's so far ( and I've stayed in a lot of them). The booking process via internet can be tricky. It's easy to book the wrong dates by mistake.
Clean Nice people But we had to leave quick due to bad news so can not say more about hotel
I love motel one hotels. That’s why Iam a guest more or less at least once a week. I love it because it’s perfectly designed and organized to let me wind down after a long and busy day. - However there is one thing that annoys me every single time I enter my motel one room…. Curious what it might be?
Alles super
We had a lovely time, if we could criticize a couple of points it would be breakfast, some where along the line it seems fashionable to have breakfast in the bar area, this makes it very uncomfortable and slightly impersonal, would prefer better seating when breakfast is offered, also scrambled eggs would be preferred, but I’m complaining on a high level as you guys done a great job in thinking ahead for so many people in your hotel. Great bar, lovely hotel, room was wonderful, we had a lovely time……very friendly staff you have.
Alles war super!
the room was clean, the beds comfy, AC and you can open the window!!! Will come again!
Arriving in my room 722, in the bathroom I found a huge clot of hair. I called reception that I wanted another room the accommodated but asked me to come again downstairs. I asked them to meet me at the lift, when the lady arrived to give me the keys. I wanted to show her the dirty hair, she was not interested.
We very much like this hotel. We love the way it has thought of all the things that are important when you travel: a really good bed, friendly staff, parking that is safe and clean. The location at the edge of the intercity is convenient. The restaurant next door The Last Meal is very good and open late. We loved our stay (again).
I was travelling with my electric wheelchair dependent daughter; which is always a challenge. Apart from the excellent wheelchair accessible room, the staff was very friendly and helpful: they even reserved the PRM-parking spot for us, free of charge and without us asking at beforehand.
It's well located, very clean and quiet. Beds are amazing. I am looking forward to enjoying the Sky Bar soon. Personal is friendly.
I am a big fan of Motel One you do hotels very well indeed thank you
Exceptional hotel. The room was just very small and the breakfast was mainly cold options. Other than that: highly recommend
I have stayed at other Motel One hotels and know the overall concept. My booking was made by my local business partner hence it was not my personal choice, but I very much enjoyed my stay and I would definitely like to select Motel One again for my next visit to Karlsruhe. Apart from the facts that the rooms are not equipped with minibars, my overall experience was very good.
We loved this hotel! The staff is really friendly and helpful. And the room is so comfortable. We love the details, everything is just right! An example: you can park below in the carpark, get your suitcases and roll everything up to your room, the doors open automatically and your don't have to lift your stuff. Also the location in the city is very convenient. Very much a 10.

alles tip top! ;-)
Very good stay.
A very comfortable stay. My only 2 recommendations: - Find details to add to the experience that cater to business travellers - Include scrambled eggs at breakfast. :-)
I would like to highlight that we receive messages in German even if I used English. It's really annoying because I don't understand German.
I always love staying at the Motel One in Karlsruhe. The staff is excellent and the service provided is really good. The only thing I'm not 100% satisfied with is the breakfast. As the hotel is getting more and more known, many people are coming and sometimes it can be too crowded, also I think there are not enough regular height tables for breakfast, so sometimes breakfast needs to be eaten by a coffee table which in my opinion is not convenient. Also the selection is very much limited and does not change over time which is not the best thing for a longer stay. I would recommend adding scrambled eggs and other warm options extending the selection a bit.
Small, but very clean and nice modern room. Quiet too. Just the breakfast was bad. Super crowded on 7:30 am, no places left. And choices (some bread, sausage and cheese) were very limited. So yeah, hotel is great but please improve the breakfast experience!
We love the motel one hotels and Karsruhe was no exception. The staff is really friendly and helpful. There is a convenient parking under the hotel. All the details are just right. The room is comfortable, bed is very nice. Love it!
Extremely nice staff at checkin and at the bar. They made me really feel welcome!
Breakfast is very poor. The tomato and cucumber is NOT fresh and doesn't taste. Coffee has a bad quality. Saw several times that your personell is serving the pork and the cheese with same hand. This is causing that the cheese smells and taste to park. The room cleaning, towels are hanged up again, wet and not renewed while I have put them on the floor, so it would be replaced. ( 9th floor). Both the Breakfast and the towels I already told to the reception. But if there will be a follow-up, I have my doubts.
war alles gut.
I have been to 4 other Motel Ones and Karlsruhe has BY FAR given the best service ever! Jose (I believe his name is), was incredible around breakfast time and ensured an awesome (yet efficiently clean) atmosphere. Well done for the whole team really, recepetion, cleaning, everyone. Please do add scrambled eggs and bacon to the breakfast though... :)
In every hotel,teh staff is most important. The Motel One staff is excellent in every way. The room was clean and fine, but very little room to put your things
I stayed 3 nights and would happily stay again. Friendly staff, comfortable bed, nice bar, good breakfast - I have no complaints.
Very inviting and convenient hotel for if you’re traveling. Shopping, restaurants and transportation are very close. The service in the hotel is very professional.
Alles super
War alles bestens
The newly opened house in Karlsruhe is ideally situated fresh & clean likewise quiet despite its central location
Overall great value for money, but the beds are definitely too small for dbl occupancy (especially if friends are travelling together and not couples)
Very convenient location, at 15mn walking distance from the station and 10mn walk from the castle and historical center, + very close to the Staatstheater. As usual with Motel One the hotel is very clean, the bed is comfortable and breakfast is good. The lounge is cosy and staff is friendly.
ALL PERFECT.. PROBLEMS FOR PARKING.. MUST BE POSSIBLE TO RESERVE .. ALSO NOT EASY CONNECTION FR WI FI

Komfortroom boooked, not available
Alles super
While Hotel in general was all good, I was disappointed about the breakfast - selection was poor, long queues and not enough places to sit.
Very good but the room itself was was too small at all
Nice location. It would be better, if you could also offer the laundry service.
Excellent service, value for money. Very clean, very well organized. perfect location.
Front desk staff very friendly; breakfast staff less so.
Quite a peaceful hotel on a busy street. Loved our hotel room and breakfast was quite delicious!
Alles super
Overall good, but missing some things. Tea/Coffee machine would be needed, or at least a vending machine, somewhere. Ideally with snacks, too. Soap dispensers aren't working properly - no bid deal, but at cost of a few Euros you could get some decent ones. Room was a bit cold, and heating didn't seem to work.
alles super
Switch on. beOne.


Your benefits at a glance:
Discover Karlsruhe from the design hotel
Welcome to Karlsruhe, a captivating city in the heart of Baden-Württemberg. It has many faces and only a short urban history. Quality of life is high and the region is booming. We would be delighted if you spent your stay in our affordable hotel in order to explore this fascinating city. Immerse yourself in the rich history, the cultural gems and the modern amenities that Karlsruhe has to offer outside the hotel – using our design hotel as the perfect base and the following tips.
Germany’s hotspot
Composer Richard Wagner’s impression: ‘Karlsruhe is very cheap, pleasant and friendly.’ That’s what he wrote in 1861 during his visit with his wife Minna, and it’s an opinion that still applies to the present day. It’s definitely got something to do with the pleasant climate: Karlsruhe is one of the warmest and sunniest cities in Germany. But it’s the warmth of the people above all else that attracts visitors.
Karlsruhe was founded almost 300 years ago by Margrave Karl III. Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach. According to legend, the idea of a city laid out in a radial shape came to him in his sleep. And so the idea of the fan was born. The centre is formed by the majestic Karlsruhe Palace, with 32 streets leading out from it. It’s a lavish Baden residence that has previously impressed the likes of Voltaire, Goethe, Napoleon and Heinrich von Kleist during their travels.
Historic gems
The residential palace is a real highlight and sits enthroned like a fairy-tale castle in the middle of magnificent gardens above the city centre. It is home to the Baden State Museum with its extensive collection of artworks and historic artefacts. Its impressive façade also conceals a rich history, which you can discover during a guided tour.
Another jewel of Karlsruhe is the Badisches Staatstheater, where first-class opera, theatre and ballet productions are staged. Delve into the world of performing arts and prepare to be entertained. The best part is that the theatre is located in the centre, just five minutes away from the hotel.
Federal Constitutional Court and legal history
For those with an interest in the German legal system, the Federal Constitutional Court is an absolute must. Visit this historic location and find out more about the significance and role of the court, which ensures the constitutional nature of laws. A few minutes away from the hotel on the tram is the University of Applied Sciences, which started teaching in 1825. Our centrally located hotel offers an excellent connection to these prominent attractions.

Welcome to the ‘home of lawmaking’: Nature and relaxation close to the hotel
Karlsruhe is home to a mix of the urban flair of the city centre and beautiful natural landscapes. On the one hand, the bustling shopping streets within walking distance of the hotel offer unlimited retail therapy in the city centre. On the other hand, just a few minutes from the hotel the green oases of the city also provide plenty of space to wander and slow down. If you’re looking for a peaceful experience, we recommend a visit to Karlsruhe Zoo.
Our hotels – accommodation at an affordable price in the perfect location
Our hotel doesn’t just provide comfortable rooms and a first-class service, it also occupies an unbeatable location in the centre: the hotels are situated in the heart of the city, in the immediate vicinity of the top attractions. The convention centre is also within easy reach. That means you can easily explore the city centre on foot both day and night, while also benefiting from ideal connections to public transport, including the main train station and the airport. The closest station is Ettlinger Tor.
Affordable rooms: a matter of course at our hotels
We are proud to be recognised as a design hotel. Enjoy the comfort of our hotels in modern and elegantly designed rooms. Every room is intended to offer a relaxed atmosphere. With an overnight stay in our clean accommodation, you’re not just booking a restful sleep, you’re also getting modern amenities like free wifi, so you can remain connected with the world both inside and outside the hotel.
Culinary delights and relaxation
Start your day with a delicious breakfast from the buffet in the hotel. Try local specialities and organic delicacies that will be a real treat for your taste buds. Our bar offers a wide range of drinks and is the ideal place in the hotel to unwind after an action-packed day in the city – and it also has an unrivalled view. The One Lounge, on the other hand, doesn’t just encourage you to relax, but also to work at the same time. Desks set up specifically for that purpose make for a pleasant environment in which to be productive.
For friends of good taste, it’s worth stepping outside the hotel to see what the rest of the city has to offer in terms of cuisine. The much-praised Baden cuisine serves up numerous specialities at affordable prices – for example, German pancake soup. And if you’re looking for something irresistible, there’s always a slice of Black Forest gateau.
