Hotel Löwe am Tiergarten

Location of this 3-star hotel is really excellent, just in front of Karlsruhe main station. Although, the bed was just a single bed, the room in general was quite comfortable with large sofa, tee-coffee making facility, large high window and clean and quite spacious bathroom with large shower tube. Also the view form the window was not bad.

Actually, it was quite hard to find a reception. There was no reception, only after I make a fool circle around the building I found an inscription where was indicated that the reception was in the bar, which is the part of the hotel. The things there work as follows: you have to ask the waitress to call the reception workers. The elevators was very slow. Also the breakfast was not one can expect form the German 3-star hotel. No hot options, for hot beverages you have to ask barista, no self service, quite limited selection of cold cut and cereals.

Good location, next to the station and the tram stop. I also enjoyed the breakfast (fresh bread, omelet, etc). Very handy to have the restaurant as well, so you could have some dinner. The room was ok for a short stay (clean, comfortable bed).

The room did not have enough light and in addition one of the lamps was broken (I informed the reception but i think they forgot). The shower was not very easy to use (quite small space and difficult to open/ close the doors). Maybe this was only in my room though. Finally, I could hear people talking on the phone next door so the insulation could have been better.
