Karlsruhe is the second largest city in Baden-Württemberg, in southwest Germany. The state is near the French-German border. With a population of about 300,000, the city is a mix of old and new. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) (German: Karlsruher Institut für Technologie) is one of the largest public universities in Germany. The city radiates out from the magnificent Karlsruhe Palace, which is why it is also known as the fan city. With a strong student scene in Karlsruhe, the city is full of home rental choices and also rooms for sharing. Some of the best stays can actually go below 100 USD a night for a comfy and clean stay.

Read on to find out where you can get such a steal!
