Clean hotel room, nothing fancy, but good overall
I had a good stay, loved my very quiet and clean room and comfortable bed. This hotel is good for 1-2 nights stay. It is reasonably priced and for this price you get very basic and clean hotel room, clean linen, nothing fancy. My only major problem was that the Internet was not working, and I could not use my lap-top to do online work. I have read in other reviews on this same hotel that their Wi-Fi is either very slow or non existent. In my case it was the latter : ( The shower space is also very tight. I am slim and I did OK, but for folks who have a few extra pounds that would be a big problem.

Overall a good stay...
Good hotel very close to the downtown area. Room was confortable although the online description was not accurate, we booked a 3 person room which was featured as having one double and one sigle bed, when in fact the 3rd person slept on a pull out sofa. Breakfast had good options and was satisfying. Surprisingly there was no shampoo or hair conditioner in the room which had us search for a shop that is still open on Sat evening... Some noise in the evening from the club next door, no a problem if your room is not facing the street or if you close the window (it was a hot evening so we would have loved to be able to leave the window open). Free parking was included which was great, but you must be a good driver as the underground parking spots are narrow and on these metallic

We have booked triple room and they gave us double room. When we mentioned it to them they said: this is not their problem? no one was helpful. i has to sleep on the floor? The hotel wasn't clean and the photos in Expedia don't match the reality conditions of hotel at all.

great place to stay in central Karlsruhe
We booked this hotel for one night , It has a very convenient parking garage in the basement of the Hotel with access by lift to the reception. The Hotel was in a great location,the staff were friendly and helpful, The rooms are very clean, bright,spacious and nicely furnished,,quite and with super comfortable beds.In the morning breakfast is served in a lovely bright breakfas room looking into a garden. The breakfast is absolutely superb,with everything you can imagen on the buffy, tastebudds goes wild and diet goes down the drain.It equaled to any five star property and we were looked after by immaculate service..I would be hard pushed to find anything negative t say about this hotel,,,perhaps i would mention that the lobby aerea does'nt have the ambiance of a luxury hotel, but for the price you can hardly expect this...All the posetive aspects makes up for this by far ! ,This hotel was fantastic value for money,.. Highly recommend this hotel

Very nice stay
Hotel appears to be no frills when you walk in, but the rooms are very nice and spacious, with comfortable furniture and plenty of hot water (a welcome change from my stay elsewhere that week). Reasonable prices for local wines and mini-bar items, and a nice TV. I was pleasantly surprised by the breadth and quality of the breakfast offering, really excellent.

This hotel provided a perfectly good stay for a work trip. The rooms are clean and the breakfast had a very selection. The gentleman on reception who greeted us was not very cheerful and didn't exactly go out of this way to help us with our queries!

Friendly hotel close to the city centre
The hotel is very close to the centre of Karlsruhe, within easy walking distance of Kaiserstrasse, the main shopping street. Transport links are good, and it's possible to walk to the train station in 30 minutes - a very nice walk, as long as one is travelling without much luggage. The check-in process was smooth and friendly, and the room was quite spacious. There were all the basic facilities one would expect, and I had no problems connecting to or using the WiFi. My room also had a balcony which I would imagine would be very nice during the summer, but as I stayed in October I didn't use it.

Very well situated in the city. Staff were excellent and very helpful. Something to remember in Karlsruhl is that some restaurants don't take credit cards or US dollars. The hotel lent us money to eat on!

OK / disappointing
Hotel was clean but the decor was very dated. It looked much better in the pictures. It was located in a side street near the town centre which was just a short walk away, which was convenient but the immediate area didn't seem particularly nice: full of graffiti and chicken joints. The breakfast area was clean and the food was quite good. I wouldn't recommend the hotel but at the same time, it wasn't terrible.

Very nice hotel. Clean and service was good. Enjoyed the breakfast. Good location. One thing, the rooms are very small and if you are a big guy, don't even try to get in to the shower.

Great Downtown Location
Its a typical small German business hotel: small lobby, small elevator, small rooms... but in a great location, excellent choice of breakfast items, the staff were professional, room was clean, wireless internet speeds were super, and you can't beat the rate. My only complaint was the mattress was a bit hard. The hotel is hard to find (on a one-way street) and sits in the middle of a neighborhood. Lots of drinking and eating establishments within easy walking distance. I would recommend the Dudelsack restaurant one street over for superb German cuisine.

Excellent decor, stuffy room, rather expensive
Our room was a modest size, included a tiny balcony and a compact shower room. Excellent, comfortable furnishings and stylish decor, but no air conditioning made it stuffy and uncomfortable - even with the window open it was hot an uncomfortable despite the fan provided by the hotel, and the street noise was distracting. Limited parking - book a car park space in advance if you don't want to park on the street like we had to.

hard to find, old, but clean
The hotel was impossible to find. I think we saw every hotel in the city before this one. The rooms were clean, but that's about it. Elevator was quite old and I definitely thought it would break every time we got in it. Parking cost 9 euros for the night. Breakfast was alright, nothing great.

Surprisingly good hotel
The Ambassador Hotel is fantastic. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Karlsruhe. The hotel does not look like much from the outside, but the rooms are exceptionally clean and comfortable. Rooms are not huge, but above average and more than adequate. The 24hr staff are always friendly, helpful, and multilingual. The morning breakfast buffet is surprisingly extensive and very nice quality. The hotel is located perfectly in the inner-west side of the city and is walking distance to the Marketplatz, Ludwigsplatz, and the countless shops, restaurants, and bars in the area.

Pleasant stopover
After a long drive, we decided to stop at this hotel(random pick) for one night. We arrived around midnight, but checkin was quick and easy. The decor isnt that great but room was simple, clean and tidy, so was the bathroom which is comforting. They only had handsoap/bodywash, but we had our own shampoo, toothbrush etc. so it wasnt an issue. Definitely had a great nightsleep and woke up very refreshed. Te breakfast buffet was good, staff were friendly. Overall, a surprisingly pleasant stay.

A standard hotel
Hotel Ambassador is what I would call a standard hotel. Nothing more, nothing less. But the staff is very friendly and helpful, they all speak good English. Rooms are classic and without any "extra" items, but functional and spacious. Rooms are also clean. An extra plus for the complimentary internet access. Breakfast is an extr two pluses. It was a very good buffet breakfast with everything one might wish to start the day. Overall a good hotel, but many things still just at standard level.
