Personal und Service sind Top, die Zimmer sind sauber. Nur ist das Objekt sehr in die Jahre gekommen und irgendwo in den 70ern stehengeblieben. Dafür ist der gezahlte Preis leider sehr gehoben.

Hotel was basic but clean, the bed was comfy and staff nice, but the bedroom was cold and I needed two downies to keep warm. Expedia rated it 8 so I was surprised to find no facilities. No way to get a cup of tea in the evening. If you visit then take a kettle. You have to take your room key out with you at night as reception closes and they lock the door. It's on a heavy key ring. Would be fine for a visit in warmer weather if you take a travel kettle.

Sehr freundliches Personal und neue bequeme Betten sowie Möbel. Das Hotel ist im allgemeinen etwas in die Jahre gekommen und die Umgebung gehört leider nicht zu den besseren Ecken von Kassel. Für einen Aufenthalt über wenige Tage ist das Hotel gut geeignet und zweckmäßig dem Preis gegenüber.
