What guests think

Holiday Inn-the niu, Wave Karlsruhe Oststadt by IHG comes across as a modern, very clean hotel with comfortable, quiet rooms and generally friendly staff, appealing to short stays and stopovers thanks to decent value and straightforward, contemporary design.

The location is quiet with shops nearby and tram access; several note proximity to the motorway, though dining options around the hotel are limited and the hotel can be hard to find due to signage or naming inconsistencies. Facilities are basic: paid underground parking can be limited or costly, and rooms commonly lack in-room tea or coffee; a few guests reported non-working TVs. Breakfast is widely praised for variety and freshness, but some find it pricey, crowded at peak times, or inconsistently maintained; service feedback ranges from warm and helpful to slow or unresponsive at check-in and the bar. Expect a clean, modern stay with simple amenities and a few operational kinks.

Wir haben zwei Nächte im HolidayInn - the niu, Wave übernachtet. Zur Ankunft: Den Hotelgästen steht eine riesige Tiefgarage für 18€/pro Tag zur Verfügung, die Tiefgarage sowie das Hotel & die Zimmer an sich sind einem noch sehr neuem Zustand. Unser Zimmer war tipptopp sauber, mit Blick auf den Innenhof des Hotels. Leider funktionierte der TV bei uns sowie bei einem Freund der zur gleichen Zeit auch im Hotel übernachtete nicht, des Weiteren sind die Zimmer auch nicht mit einem Bügeleisen sowie Wasserkocher ausgestattet. Diese musste man sich an der Rezeption selbst holen. Und ein letzter Punkt: In den Zimmern gab es nicht mal eine Flasche Wasser. Das Frühstück war für 17€ pro Person in Ordnung. Insgesamt war der Aufenthalt aber für unseren Zweck super!
