Motel One Karlsruhe

Having enjoyed Motel One before we were pleased to find a spacious modern reception and lovely stylish bar area with a huge array of drinks available. It is possible to park in a car park next to the hotel, if there is room, for about €20. You pay for the convenience. There are several cheaper public options not far away if you prefer. We received instructions from the receptionist and arrived at our room on the seventh floor. It was the smallest room we have ever stayed in and overlooked the balconies of nearby flats. A net and black out curtains ensured privacy. The room was spotless with a hanging area and coat pegs. Plenty of lights ensure great lighting when needed. The bathroom was small but had a good shower and plenty of towels. Shower/shampoo was provided in the shower cubicle. The basin plug could not be moved so water couldn’t be retained in the bowl. The bedlinen was very good and, although only a double bed, it was fairly firm but comfortable. The room was quiet and a good night’s sleep is possible. A shame the room was so very small as the Motel One concept is great. It was fine for a one night stay but might feel a little claustrophobic for longer periods. Many of the clientele seemed to be business people. It is to be recommended and we would return.

It is a brand new property (one year old). The rooms are small but ver comfortable and clean. Breakfast was well done with a great selection for most dietary needs. The lounge in the evening has a very quiet peaceful ambience. Most staff were very friendly and helpful. A couple front desk people were somewhat gruff of dismissive when assistance was sought.

No dressers to put clothes in for 9 day stay. Too small. Only one suitcase caddy for 2 people. No room on floor to put luggage as room was so tiny. Shower drain didn’t work well, had 1” of water left at end of shower so feet were standing in dirty water. No lotion in bathroom, no wash clothes. Breakfast too expensive for what they were serving, very limited.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Real good breakfast with a plenty of choice, fresh and almost biological quality - all you can eat. The room was small, but with everything you need and brandnew, very calm to the backside of the motel and a bigsitzed very comfortable bed. The design is modern and well chosen. A bit expensive (about 126 EUR inculded 17.50 EUR for breakfast) but this is only my personal opinion. I enjoyed me stay as an exclusive way to spend one night.
