Alfa Hotel

This is a very good budget hotel to stay in heart of Karlsruhe. This small hotel is maintained neat & clean. Tiny arrangement for breakfast is made by the hotel. We preferred to have food outside this hotel because there are plenty of good restaurants located around this hotel. Wifi was good. Garage is available to park car at extra fee. Room was big enough to accommodate 3 persons. Overall, we had pleasant stay.

Unfortunately, if you need the WiFi for working.. it can’t be used. Simply it doesn’t work. It hangs, it disconnects, it is slow, it disconnects again.. no way to fetch some files from a server. The file transfer will never go through. And I spent a night for that.. so. Solution is to go somewhere else to use the WiFi… but it shouldn’t be like that. Rooms are Ok. Clean and well dimensioned. The stuff is friendly and nice. The location is quite noisy at night, even with the well isolated windows. The Hotel is nicely in downtown, this si a plus sign. If you don’t care about the WiFi, consider the Hotel. But if you need to work.. it really makes your life miserable.

A comfortable, clean hotel, with quite a good breakfast. We chose to pay a little extra and have a three person room for two of us. This meant that we got a sofa as well as a desk, which we were glad of. Having read that noise is a problem, we asked for a room on the quiet side of the hotel - and that was definitely a good move. There was some noise on Saturday night - but nothing we couldn't cope with. The plus side is that the hotel is very central and well positioned.
