The hotel is relatively modern. Has good sized rooms (for Europe). The rooms are modern with comfortable beds. The bathrooms are also very good. The breakfast is plentiful and very good. The hotel is located in a suburb (Durlach) and you can take the train to the city center. Great breakfast and great room. My only irritation was the internet... More

Modern design, nice and clean rooms, the staff were very kind and helpful, great breakfast with lots to choose from and very nice micro brewery beer garden next door. Will certainly return on my next trip.

I stayed for a 3 days whilst on Business. The hotel staff were very friendly and assisted me by supplying multiple travel adaptors after I had forgotten mine. The location is very convenient for the bars and cafes of Durlach plus the tram service in to central Karlsruhe. The room was small but functional and very clean. The main hotel... More

I stayed a week here for business. The hotel was a very pleasant surprise given how small Durlach is. The staff were very friendly and always helpful. The room was a bit small but standard for European hotels I guess. Overall I was very impressed by the property. My only complaint I guess is that while the location was convenient... More

I was in Karlsruhe on business, visiting an office in Durlach, which is a quaint, medieval town with outdoor cafes and cobbled streets. I stayed twice over the summer at Hotel der Blaue Reiter, which is a unique boutique hotel in Durlach. The location is convenient, about a five minute walk from the Karlsruhe-Durlach train station, and with easy access... More

We have recognized that the Wi-Fi is indispensable. We have acted promptly. Wi-Fi is available at the whole main hotel building and at the new building KUBUS as well. Your hint about the power outlet near the bed is a good point. You will miss it in a few single rooms at the moment. Because of your message we will... More

We stayed here for three nights -- we used Der Blaue Reiter as our base for the first leg of our trip to Germany. Durlach is charming and it was a quick tram ride into Karlsruhe. Heidelberg was an easy day trip. The room designs are modern and fresh with spacious bathrooms. Sometimes modern hotel design leaves a cold feeling,... More

This hotel is the preferred property of our office in Karlsruhe and it was easy to see why that is the case. I was very favorably impressed with the facilities. It had a modern decor that was tastefully done. The rooms were adequately spacious and very clean. The amenities functioned well for my stay. The price was quite reasonable the... More

We have been there two times and we have not changed the opinion that this is a very nice place to stay in Karlsruhe. Except a distance from downtown (15 -20 minutes by tramway) it is a great location, very good service, kind reception people. If you go to the railway station, taxi takes you to the train in 10...

What other hotel has the front desk drive you to the train station because you overslept and missed the taxi? They did. I generally stay at the Novotel in Karlsruhe when traveling, no more. This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in.

Great design (no extravaganzas, but choises of good taste) hotel in the city quarter of Durlach (Karlsruhe), with extremely comfortable rooms (perfect pillows and floor heating in the bathroom, which was perfectly clean). A little bit "old fashioned" is the room's internet connection, provided through cable (didn't test it). Very good cuisine: German dishes, but with an excellent taste, to... More
