This is a Basic hotel, but exceeded that classification. Staff were helpful, air conditioning, breakfast exceed expectation. the breakfast looked over a large park and green area. After breakfast a nice walk in the park. Parking was OK once you found the location. Small bar on main floor. Basically offer everything that they said and often better.

Sehr gute Lage, direkter Zugang vom öffentlichen Parkhaus vorhanden. Zimmer wirkte sauber, jedoch hat man an den schwarzen Socken leider allzu deutlich Haare und Staub gesehen - direkt beim erstmaligen Betreten des Zimmers. Positiv hervorzuheben ist die kostenfreie Nutzung der Minibar mit einigen wenigen nichtalkoholischen Getränken (völlig ausreichend- Wasser, Apfelsaft und Cola).

Enormt bra frukost!

Frukosten är helt fantastisk. Bland den bästa jag någonsin haft på ett hotel. Smidig parkering i garage med uppgång till lobbyn direkt i anslutning. Enda minus var att luftkonditionering i korridorerna kändes undermålig.

Das Hotel und Zimmer ist sauber und ganz angenehm eingerichtet und gebaut. Da hat man sich wohl gefühlt. Leider hat das Personal keinen Sinn für "Willkommen sein", da wird grad soviel gemacht, dass es reicht. Ob am Telefon vor der Buchung oder dann vor Ort, könnte bei dem Preis vor allem besser sein. Danke trotzdem für die Übernachtung.

Expected a better experience for the price

My stay was fair. Location was great. Breakfast was only average and poor for the price. There was only one small bottle of drinking water provided for my entire 3 night stay. The cost of drinking water from reception was excessive.I stay in Darmstadt frequently for business and have had better experiences nearby.
