“Great hotel on the edge of the forest”
The hotel staff were very welcoming, helpful and friendly throughout my stay. The room was very clean and had a forest view as described for my room choice. Breakfast was good and included a selection of cold meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal, bread, pastry and hot food options including pancakes too. I was very happy with this hotel.

“A pleasant overnight stay.”
Room was of adequate size and the bed and bedding was very comfortable. The location was pleasant with woodland behind and a small park very close. Good choice of food for the breakfast buffet. Very close to two good restaurants.

“Incredibly good value! Superb breakfast, restful night, lovely staff.”
Excellent breakfast buffet with a big choice of hot and cold foods/drinks (including a whole vegan section). The staff where very helpful and friendly; provided me with a wasserkocher for my room (despite the many choices of tea/coffee in the foyer; I like brewing my own coffee in my room, especially when able to admire the river Alb through the open juliette-balcony windows). Ettlingen is small and beautiful with good choices of eateries, and a lot of lovely buildings to see while strolling along the river. Karlsruhe is only a tram ride away for a great choice of restaurants/bars/shops. The room as clean as a whistle, large, and comfy. We booked it for a break on our way to Switzerland from the Amsterdam ferry. We liked it so much we booked again for a one-night stop-over on our drive back.
