This is a 5 star hotel at a very affordable price. Old style hospitality offered in a beautiful hotel that could not be faulted on any level. The room was large and very comfortable and it had one of the best ensuite bathrooms we have ever experienced. The hotel has a beautiful restaurant where we had both dinner and breakfast - both excellent experiences. Staff are very friendly and always tried very hard to accommodate the English language. I had business in Karlsruhe and Ettlingen is a stones throw away from there. It makes a huge difference staying in an old German village environment rather than a city environment.

Spent there one night on a business trip to Waldbronn. This hotel is aimed rather as a spa and wellness centre. The location is close to the town centre. Staff are friendly and professional. Single room was a tad smaller, but OK for one. The equipment was relatively new, but I felt a little bit like in a budoir (the decor made the feel), to say it politely;) The rooms are well kept, cleanliness was good. Bathroom was spacious, very clean and bright. WiFi internet in my room worked very well. Breakfast offer large varieties of tasty food. Would stay there again.

A little bit outside Karlsruhe, but directly at the center of the suburb Ettlingen is this place outstanding. Nice rooms, free wifi, good equiped gim, nice terrace to have a glas of wine or beer outside. Nice restaurant and great breakfast. in addition an outstanding service! They even lend me cufflinks when I forgot mine.

This is the only hotel I ever stayed in where one can not get an iron/board in the room ("safety reasons"..which of course then cost you $$$ to get shirt ironed!). Some senior staff is quite arrogant (towards guests and employees) and rooms are OK but certainly not great.
Please do not intend to come back to the hotel late as there is no 24hour reception and nobody responded to the night bell when I wanted to get in - needless to say that the phone # indicated next to the night bell was not in service. Luckily I found an unlocked side staff entrance.....
The breatkfast is really good, but the same every day.
