Ibis Styles Karlsruhe Ettlingen

We stayed in this hotel on a Cosmos Tour of Europe. The hotel was comfortable and clean. Located in very short walking distance to the beautiful township of Ettlingen. This township is an absolute postcard, so don’t waste too much time sitting in your hotel room. The rooms are basic but clean. Beds comfortable. One very strange thing about the rooms is that the shower is fully exposed. If you are sharing the room with someone other than an intimate partner, be sure to pack the eye mask. A very strange decor in the wet areas as you will see in the photo. Breakfast was nice. Overall a nice stay and would stay here again if we pass through this way again

Sometimes I ask myself: why happens this to me? I am booking an Ibis Styles hotel but getting the comfort of a five star one? What is wrong with these booking categories? Let me be clear and precise. Despite of the fact that the design will not win an award (carpet, interior in the rooms, the colors), this hotel convinced me in terms of cozy beds, cleanness, silence, sound-insulation and breakfast. As said: design – well – there are always two guilty guys: the one who designed and the other one who bought it. Nevertheless, I want to sleep and have a good breakfast and both was fulfilled on a high standard. Beds were cozy and comfortable, the room spacious, the bathroom separated between toilet and shower (which is not a bad choice). A well working rain shower system was just another example for even more luxury hotels which do not cover that. The breakfast in the morning: marvelous! The staff to be mentioned first: friendly, helpful and very attentive to keep the breakfast area and buffet clean. A well working coffee machine and on top: a self-brewing coffee service was also available – fancy. The quality and quantity of the buffet compared to its price: outstanding. I ate worse for more money at higher qualified hotels! It is ridiculous! This hotel deserves an excellent review and my personal marketing. Well done! We strongly recommend this place for sure!

All the staff from check in, breakfast and cleaners were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Nice touch was access to free water. The double room we had (317) was bright and quirky. The shower and bathroom sink are in the bedroom- whilst not a separate bathroom there is a shelving partition, so ensure you are comfortable with the person you are sharing with! The room was a nice size and well appointed. Clean and comfortable. Would benefit from a kettle and safe in room but this is an observation rather than a criticism. We had breakfast- really fresh products and a good choice of cold hams, cheeses etc. Also catered well for those who have to follow a gluten-free diet or choose to he vegan. Ettlingen town centre is within easy walking distance- well worth a wander around. There is a Rewe supermarket directly opposite. Would definitely stay here again.

As ever with Ibis easy booking on-line and quick and efficient registration on arrival. English speaking receptionist. Hotel has an underground car-park available for a minimal fee and lift straight up into the hotel……convenient as my wife was on crutches after a minor accident at home. Rooms are relatively spacious with separate loo and shower. Large bar area which also serves as the breakfast area in the morning. Pizzas/savoury tarts can be ordered in the evening. They were ‘adequate’ and welcome considering we couldn’t really venture very far. The breakfast selection was excellent and plentiful. All in all everything we have come to expect from Ibis. A kettle to make a hot drink in the room would be a useful addition.

It was a nice stay inn Ettlingen. The hotel was clean and the people working there were very friendly. The breakfast was perfect. The hotel is near to the centre of Ettlingen. It takes you a five minute walk.
