Stayed this hotel many times (more than 4), usually at Christmas market time. Tried different room types and have to say that standard room is very small on my opinion and last 2 times i stayed at suite room (which is much more expensive but much-much better). So the rooms are clean and tiny, the breakfast is good, maybe not... More

Carat is all about being directly next to the Altstadt, directly across from the Carlsplatz Market, and a few minutes walk to the Rhine Promenade. It is hard to find a more convenient hotel to Altstadt ( Orangerie excepted ) that is reasonably priced, but of course not inexpensive due to its location. Rooms are OK. We had a fifth... More

Solid hotel, comfortable beds very clean. Small by North American standards but OK for traveller by themself. Very good buffet each morning that is included with the room. Selection is varied with lots of fresh fruit. Location is near the metro station and walking distance to the old town and the shopping district on Konigsallee. Please note there is no... More

The hotel is very conveniently located close to the Altstadt and approx 10 minute walk to the "Koe" shopping street, the rooms are comfortable & breakfast is very good. We booked through Expedia a Comfort Room (a quite room overlooking the Winter Garden). Unfortunately we were allocated room 10 ( non smoking overlooking the "Winter Garten"), which was on the...

The hotel room is in a great location to the Aldstadt. The rooms look quite nice. What we didnt realise was that the place didnt have airconditioning! We have a 4 month old baby so a hot night combined with drunken bums yelling on the street until all hours was a recipe for no sleep. When i broached the subject... More

The hotel is conveniently located in the city center. It is 5 minute walk to the beginning of all attractions, shopping, restaurants. Rooms are a bit small. We paid for a delux room but then understood that it only means that your window will face the hotel's garden instead of a road. I wouldn't say this road is heavy at... More

This hotel does what all the reviews say. It gives you a room that is in a great location for the centre If you want luxury there are other hotels. If you want amenities there are other hotels. This has a small cafe and a sauna and you get a reasonable room equal to any average chain hotel. The staff... More

Chose this hotel for 4 star rating, closeness to Altstadt and U-train to Messe. We booked 2 rooms. My room, for 10 Euros a night more than my colleagues got me a tiny, dark room with a coffee maker that did not work. I was also put in a smoking room, even though I had requested non-smoking. Regarding the bed,... More

A brief stop at this hotel confirmed my reseach: The Carat is the best located hotel in town. That is if you lke the Old Town, the Shopping and the Rhine all within easy walking distance. This trip was just an autumn weekend but the combination of location, value for money breakfast and easy parking (at a price) made it... More
